Why adopt a circular economy approach?
The eco-design of a product, service, or production system is a key strategy for reducing environmental impacts at the source. Eco-design aims to integrate, from the very outset of a product’s design, the ecological consequences of its manufacturing at every stage of its life cycle: raw material extraction, production, distribution, use, and end-of-life. In fact, 80% of a product’s environmental impacts are determined during its design phase. Construction, mechanical engineering, chemicals, furniture, textiles, and packaging are the main industrial sectors developing eco-designed products.
