Eco-Design Engineering for Education
Teach the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology and bring a new circular mindset for a more sustainable future!
Advance Sustainable Innovation With Lifecycle Assessment
The importance of Eco-Design Engineering
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.
Adopting eco-design principles is essential for a sustainable future and to remain competitive and responsible in an increasingly environmentally conscious market.
With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you can implement a fully digitalized Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to assess the sustainability of any decision before it is implemented
EPFL pioneers sustainability and innovation with eco-design engineering
The Swiss EPFL Racing Team is the first Formula Student organization with its own sustainability department. The team uses the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for a comprehensive Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate and improve the environmental impact of its electric formula racing car, guiding the eco-design of the next-generation vehicle.
