ECODESIGN: INCORPORATING ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA INTO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Eco-design consists of incorporating environmental criteria in the design and development phase of each product, trying to take preventive measures with the aim of reducing environmental impacts in the different phases of its life cycle.
Always without compromising such important factors for the company as price, functionality, safety or quality, the environmental factor is considered as another requirement of the product and with the same importance as other factors such as cost, safety or quality.
At Euro-Funding we offer a technical consultancy service for the implementation of a new economic and production system based on an ecological model.
