Eco-design and measuring the impact on society
& environment
In a few words
Eco-design is a method that aims to study and measure the environmental impact of a product's entire life cycle, and then develop scenarios to minimise this impact. Incorporating an eco-design approach into the creation of a product is necessary in order to comply with new regulatory requirements, differentiate our offer and attract new customers, while remaining within the limits of the planet.
Public concerned :
