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.

Producer responsibility legislation
Several pieces of producer responsibility legislation have already been introduced, not only in Europe but also in other jurisdictions. These may be relevant to your business and the goods and services placed on the market. It may be time to check that your business is achieving the relevant compliance. Contact us to find out more.
EuP Compliance
Do you need to ecodesign your energy-using products to achieve compliance with EuP legislation? We can help you to ecodesign your products and advise on the establishment of the necessary technical files for achieving CE compliance. Click here for more information.
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.
