ECODESIGN
SERVICES

What is ecodesign?
EcoDesign is the design of a product to minimise its environmental impacts over its entire lifetime and meet customer requirements.  The result is often a product that is cheaper to make and cheaper to use.  EcoDesign involves identifying how a product gives rise to environmental impacts during its lifecycle (raw materials, manufacture, distribution, use and end-of-life) and then investigating how these impacts can be reduced through design.  

Product ecodesign
Ecodesign can be applied to any product, irrespective of the complexity of the product.  Whether the product is electronic or electrical equipment, made from wooden or plastic materials, steel and polymers, there are usually ways to reduce the environmental burden and impacts.

Packaging ecodesign
There is growing awareness among consumers that much of the packaging used by businesses is unnecessary.  For the business, ecodesign of its packaging represents an opportunity not only to save on costs and improve environmental performance but also to enhance brand

Process ecodesign
Processes can also be ecodesigned to ensure that their environmental impact is minimised.  Along with ecodesign of products and resource efficiency across the business, process ecodesign may provide your business with important sources of competitive edge as supply chains go green.

We provide specialist services in the ecodesign of products, packaging and processes, with particular emphasis on compliance with producer responsibility legislation and opportunities for carbon reduction and cost savings.
