Ecological Design

Ecological Design

With the Ecodesign Directive of 2005, the EU introduced the environmentally sound design, also known as ecodesign or eco-design, of products. The aim of the directive is to improve environmental compatibility, energy efficiency and the product life cycle in order to contribute to the European climate protection goals. Manufacturers and designers should rethink the consumption of energy and resources from the selection of raw materials to the use of the items and their disposal. The directive was improved in 2009 when binding minimum requirements for products were laid down.
