In which region do you need this solution?
Product ecodesign and ESPR compliance
Develop more sustainable products based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and prepare for the requirements of the Digital Product Passport (DPP).
- Improve the environmental performance of your products based on measurable data
- Identify areas for improvement using LCA analysis and optimise materials, processes and end-of-life
- Prepare for the new requirements of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP)
Ecodesign consulting: improve the sustainability of your products
With Ecodesign we refer to an approach to product design that integrates sustainability and circularity from the early stages of development of the product.
However, to design with sustainability in mind is not always enough we must start from solid data, and be able to measure and document environmental performance of products. For this reason, every effective ecodesign project is based on a key methodology: the Life Cycle Assessment
Through LCA analysis, it is possible to accurately quantify a product’s environmental impacts throughout its lifecycle, to identify areas for improvement and to support design decisions based on objective data.
Furthermore, this approach allows businesses to prepare for new european regulatory requirements (Ecodesign Regulation – ESPR), such as the’Digital Product Passport (DPP) obligation.
Why is ecodesign a strategic choice?
Sustainable product design according to the ecodesign approach not only has obvious positive effects on the environment and sustainability, but allows companies to have numerous advantages.
Let us look at some of them:
Compliance with European standards
The Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) requires companies to integrate ecodesign and sustainability criteria into product design. Among the objectives: to improve the product durability, reparability and energy efficiency.
Cost savings
Companies that adopt eco-design practices can achieve significant cost savings, resulting from the increased energy efficiency, less waste, lower disposal costs (less waste), lower resource consumption and process optimisation.
Competitve advantages
Adopting eco-design not only allows you to increase your reputation, but also to position yourself as a company that invests in innovation.
Digital Product Passport: which data must be included
One of the central elements introduced by the new Ecodesign regulation is the Digital Product Passport (DPP).
This is a digital system that aims to collect structured environmental information (and not only) for the product. The main categories of data that companies will be required to provide are:
- Product environmental data (life cycle impacts, resource and energy consumption, emissions)
- Information on materials and components (recycled content, product composition, presence of harmful substances)
- Data for use and end-of-life
- Traceability
What are the stages of our support for product ecodesign?
We always start from an LCA analysis to measure the environmental impacts of the product’s lifecycle. This way, you will get a clear and comprehensive overview of emissions, of energy consumption and of main environmental impacts.
1. LCA analysis of the product
Analysing potentials physical risks of climate change and the transition risks that may influence the company’s activities, taking into account the geographical context and the reference sector.
2. Identification of critical areas
We analyse the results to identify the most relevant environmental hotspots. You will understand which materials, processes, or life cycle stages generate the greatest impacts. This way you can focus your efforts where they will really have an effect.
3. Ecodesign proposals
We will develop concrete proposals to improve the product: materials, processes, design, and end-of-life. The solutions are based on LCA data, not on assumptions, and aimed at reducing impacts and costs. The objective is to make the product more sustainable and competitive.
4. Preparation for ESPR and DPP Requirements
We support you in structuring the necessary data for the Digital Product Passport. We organise information on materials, impacts and performance required by the regulations.
