What does eco-design of an electronic product involve?

More than just a fashionable subject, taking the ecological dimension into account in companies has become essential on several levels, both from an environmental point of view and from the point of view of your consumers’ aspirations (in 2021, 72% of them are mobilised in favour of responsible consumption according to ADEME). So it’s more important than ever to think about this issue for your own business. But how do you go about it?
Eco-design is one of the keys if you are a manufacturer of electronic or hardware products. At first glance, eco-design sounds like the integration of recycled materials, but eco-design is much more than that. It involves all the levers needed to reduce a product’s environmental footprint, in terms of power consumption, durability, packaging and so on.
But before we can act, we must first understand. Eco-design therefore also includes this essential analysis to assess the environmental footprint of your product, which will enable you to make the right decisions.
