What is eco-design?
Eco-design is a design method in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, which aims to reduce environmental impacts and promote resource efficiency. The goal is to design products, services and processes in such a way that their environmental effects are as small as possible and are sustainable in the long term.
Eco-design aims to take into account the entire product life cycle, from the acquisition of raw materials to the use and disposal of the product. It is also important to consider the environmental effects of the product’s manufacturing process and strive to find sustainable solutions to reduce them.
With the help of eco-design, significant savings can be achieved both in environmental load and costs. For example, energy-efficient solutions can reduce energy consumption and therefore also emissions. In addition, eco-design can improve the quality and durability of the product, which can increase its life cycle and reduce the amount of waste.
Eco-design can be applied to the design of products, the development of services as well as the optimization of processes. It is an important part of sustainable development and environmentally responsible business.
