Sustainable products are the future
Ecodesign means considering environmental criteria when designing a product, in addition to economic, technical and social aspects.
Sustainable products are the future
Producing, distributing, using and discarding products undeniably have a negative impact on the environment. More than 80% of this impact is determined at the design phase. To improve the quality of your products and reduce the environmental impact, one needs to consider the environment early on.
Ecodesign not only improves the quality of your products, it saves raw materials, cut costs, saves energy for you and/or for your customers. Besides, it helps you comply with EU regulations and creates new market opportunities.
Ecodesign training
The Ecodesign Training developed by Partners for Innovation teaches product developers and designers the principles of Ecodesign and trains them to apply these principles in their work.
The course consists of two half days:
- Part 1: Analysis– starts with a life cycle analysis, from the extraction of raw materials to waste management. The analysis provides insight into which aspects of your product have the highest environmental impact and which options will yield the greatest improvements.
- Part 2: Design– provides immediately applicable improvement options for existing products and may also lead to entirely new product ideas and market opportunities.
Case studies & assignments
This course is aimed at product designers and engineers and can be organized at your company’s premises. Two trainers provide intensive coaching that include case studies and practical assignments. The ideal group size is 8 to 10 participants.
The result? After the course, participants will:
- understand the environmental impact of their product
- have practical options to elaborate on
- have new ideas for products and market opportunities
