Drivers and benefits

EcoDesign addresses the fundamental environmental impact that a consumer electronics manufacturer has on society - the life cycle environmental impacts of its products. It requires
design teams to address how they can reduce environmental impacts and costs in materials selection, manufacture, packaging, use, and end-of-life options.

Regulatory requirements and customer pressure for EcoDesign of consumer electronics are increasing. At the same time, companies who adopt a systematic approach can gain cost
savings and marketing benefits.
