What is Sustainable Design (Environmental Design, Eco-Design)?
Sustainable Design incorporates environmental impact into product design and development at a product’s conception to enhance environmental performance throughout its lifecycle. Sustainable Design highlights environmental opportunities and weaknesses and thus provides important decision-making guidance for product developers. This is particularly relevant when choosing materials and production processes, comparing recycling qualities and observing legal guidelines. Only through this kind of early consideration can environmental impacts be reduced to the greatest possible extent.
Sphera’s process begins by creating a customized Sustainable Design concept for your company. We assess all environmental impacts, evaluate opportunities to improve and detect weak points. Sphera provides reliable insights and support in reporting acquired results, e.g., by transferring findings into automatic reporting tools or into messages applicable to various stakeholders.
