Eco-Design
Environmental policy:
Î The environmental policy should include an ECO-Design
approach for the development of new products (only for
operators dealing with designing)
Eco-Design :
- Criteria of the standard should be included very earlier in the
designing process
- The choices made during the design phase must take into
account environmental and social impacts, including:
. Choice of raw materials and their ability to be renewed or use of
recycled materials
. Production processes
. Conditions of production and social aspects
. Choice regarding the transport
. Choice regarding the packaging
. Product use and its end of life
The Life Cycle Analysis allow to support the choices done during this
approach.
