Making an organization eco-innovative: the evolving eco-design reference framework

You want to integrate the environment into your product's incremental or modular innovation phase. This fact sheet will help you initiate a process of progressive integration, within the partial innovation process, of the environmental requirements that apply to the life cycle of your product.

These steps are based on an evolving eco-design repository that synthesizes all these environmental requirements. The way it is constructed will enable innovation engineers to be mobilized and made aware of environmental issues, so as to set up a learning organization. By using it, you'll be able to understand the regulatory risks and promote eco-design within the innovation process. This tool offers a number of benefits:

• It's easy for non-experts to use.

• It raises engineers' awareness of environmental issues.
