INTRODUCTION
You want to embark on an eco-innovation initiative by quickly and easily generating numerous concepts with high potential for environmental improvement.
Many eco-innovation tools exist today to support such an approach. Some are intended for experts in eco-design or require the implementation of a fairly complex process. In this fact sheet, you will find out how to overcome these problems using Brezet's eco-design strategy wheel, a tool that offers many benefits:
great ease of use;
speed of implementation;
consideration of the entire life cycle;
not necessarily based on a detailed environmental assessment (such as an LCA);
stimulating cross-functional collaboration within the company;
resource-efficient (people, time, means).
