Abstract

Ecodesign is a proactive approach for enhancing the product’s environmental performance through a holistic consideration of the environmental impacts associated with the phases of its life cycle, from raw material extraction and manufacturing to use and end-of-life. Over the last decades, a number of methods and tools have been developed for the implementation of ecodesign, supporting companies to significanly enhance the overall environmental performance at the same time as enhacing the overall product competitiveness.
