The ecodesign resources explore how ecodesign policies, standards, tools and business models are evolving to support system wide transformation.
Ecodesign plays a central role in enabling the circular economy by shaping decisions at the earliest stages of product, service and system design, influencing how products are designed, produced, used and ultimately recovered across their life cycles. By embedding durability, repairability, resource efficiency and recyclability at the design stage, ecodesign enables circular business models, supports innovation and competitiveness, and helps decouple value creation from resource consumption and wider environmental impacts.
The resources presented below explore how ecodesign policies, standards, tools and business models are evolving to support system wide transformation. They highlight how regulatory frameworks, product requirements and digital solutions can enable new circular business models, improve transparency, support informed decision making, and highlight how product level measures and digital solutions can drive systemic change across value chains.
