The principle of the ecodesign of a product falls within a more global environmental approach.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like industrial ecology and the economics of functionality, it\u2019s a part of the loop of circular economy that is situated upstream during design.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ecodesign aims, with equal quality and performance, to reduce the product\u2019s negative impacts on the environment throughout its life cycle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It takes into account all life stages of the product.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Manufacturing:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The product must be designed in a way to limit its impact on the environment at the moment of its conception but also during its use.<\/p>\n

Thinking about the use of this in order to adapt its manufacturing to the users.<\/p>\n

Thinking about suitable materials and allowing it to be easily repaired and dismantled.<\/p>\n

That each product component can be isolated to facilitate recycling at the end of its lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Ecodesign is a factor of competitiveness and innovation for companies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Distribution:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like for manufacturing, you have to limit energy expenditure linked to distributing the product as much as possible.<\/p>\n

Producing locally remains the most simple and the best solution to limit the carbon footprint linked to transport and in addition allows employment to be determined at a local level.<\/p>\n

Use:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The design must be thought out in a way to limit the product\u2019s environmental impact during its use:<\/p>\n
