Eco-design is a business approach that incorporates environmental, technical, and economic considerations into the development of products or services. This approach aims to balance technical excellence with environmental sustainability, ultimately reducing the overall environmental impact of products and services across their entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.
By embracing eco-design, companies not only minimize environmental impacts but also gain a deeper understanding of their products and services. This collaborative approach fosters stronger teamwork and motivation within the organization. In today's environmentally conscious landscape, adopting eco-design can set a company apart from competitors and meet customer expectations.
