- Circular economy
- Eco-desing
The circular economy addresses actors at all stages of a product’s life cycle. Eco-design is one of the fundamental pillars of the circular economy and is aimed at economic actors. That is to say, producers of goods or services. The fact of thinking, optimizing and revaluing a product in its entirety is a necessary step towards an economy that preserves the planet. In this context, eco-design allows to:
- Extend the life of a product;
- Optimize the quantity and type of raw materials used;
- Anticipate the reuse of sub-systems;
- Anticipate the recycling of what cannot be reused.
Eco-design minimizes the impact of the product on the environment by taking into account its entire life cycle. All aspects of the product are taken into account: raw materials, manufacturing methods, use, life span, possible repairs or recycling, etc. The main objective of the circular economy is to do better with less natural resources, while reducing the amount of waste that can be generated. An eco-designed product is not intended to be simply destroyed at the end of its life. Its purpose is to be deconstructed in order to reuse or revalue the maximum of its components. This is why the use of toxic components is to be proscribed for an easier reuse.
