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.

• 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)....
