Ecodesign and circular economy of electrical systems

Key areas of eco-design

Ecodesign efforts for electrical systems are focused on several key areas, such as :

• Energy efficiency

  Efforts have been made to maximize energy efficiency. Designers seek to minimize energy losses by optimizing design or control laws.

• Materials

  The materials used in electrical equipment can have a significant impact on the environment. Designers are looking to use recyclable materials and reduce the use of environmentally harmful materials such as lead, mercury and cadmium.

• Manufacturing/assembly/deconstruction processes

  Manufacturing processes are optimized to become more sustainable, by reducing energy consumption, minimizing...
