Eco-Design Engineering for Education
Discover our dedicated Eco-Design solutions and embrace the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate long-term sustainability
Eco-design (also known as sustainable design) aims to reduce the environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle: from raw material extraction, to production, distribution, use and end-of-life. It balances environmental considerations with social expectations and business benefits, driving innovation while preserving natural resources.
With our dedicated software roles from the 3DEXPERIENCE for Education, you can implement a fully digitalized Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to assess the sustainability of any decision before it is implemented.
