Overview

ECODESIGN+ is a web-based software tool for calculating and improving a product's carbon footprint (PCF). It follows a life cycle approach and is designed for product developers, designers, and engineers to make reliable sustainability decisions early in the design process, even with incomplete data. The tool visualizes emission hotspots and provides specific recommendations for improvement, using the ecoinvent database for its calculations.

✨ Key Features

  • Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation
  • Life cycle approach
  • Identification of emission drivers
  • Specific ecodesign recommendations
  • "What-if" scenario and variant comparison.
  • Based on the ecoinvent database.

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Simplicity and focus on Product Carbon Footprint for non-LCA experts
  • Actionable recommendations for design improvements.
  • Designed for early-stage development when data is often incomplete.

Unique Value: Empowers product developers to make informed, sustainable design decisions early in the process by providing a fast, easy way to calculate and optimize a product's carbon footprint.

🎯 Use Cases (4)

Calculating the carbon footprint of new products during the concept phase Comparing the environmental impact of different materials or manufacturing processes Optimizing product design to reduce emissions Training students and engineers in ecodesign principles

✅ Best For

  • Enabling reliable decisions to be made early in the product development process by calculating PCF.
