6. Develop your eco-innovative solution
When developing your solution, eco-design choices are not always simple and obvious. You can therefore rely on various design support tools.
Design guides, the content of which you will define. Some eco-design guides are issued by production federations. They contain best practices for sustainable design.
Material libraries. These are life cycle inventories to which technical data has been added. They are generally used when making design choices that require a compromise between technical and environmental performance.
Material compatibility guides. This type of guide is based on knowledge of end-of-life management channels and processes. More or less favorable assemblies are specified, taking into account the future of the system (dismantling, reuse, recycling, or recovery)....
