New revenues from new eco-friendly products

Ensure that the product provides an environmental benefit throughout its life cycle.

1. Eco-responsible design:

- Sustainable materials selection: Use renewable, recycled, or low environmental impact materials from the product design phase.

- Design for sustainability: Design the product to be durable, repairable, and easily recyclable, in order to minimize waste throughout its life cycle.

2. Production optimization:

- Carbon footprint reduction: Implement production processes that use renewable energy sources and aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

- Minimize production waste: Implement eco-efficiency practices to reduce, reuse, and recycle production waste.

3. Life cycle analysis (LCA):

- Environmental impact assessment: Conduct a complete life cycle analysis to identify environmental impacts at each stage, from raw material extraction to the end of the product's life.

- Continuous improvement: Use LCA results to identify improvement opportunities and reduce negative impacts at each stage of the life cycle.

4. Distribution optimization:

- Logistics footprint reduction: Adopt sustainable logistics solutions, such as low-carbon transportation and delivery route optimization.

- Eco-friendly packaging: Use recyclable or compostable packaging, and minimize the amount of packaging materials needed.

5. Responsible use:

- User awareness: Educate consumers on the eco-responsible use of the product to maximize its efficiency and durability.

- Facilitate maintenance and repair: Offer maintenance services and spare parts to extend the product's life.

6. End of product life:

- Recycling and reuse: Set up take-back programs for the recycling or reuse of end-of-life products.

- Materials recovery: Transform recovered materials into new resources for future products, thereby reducing dependence on virgin raw materials.

7. Monitoring and reporting:

- Impact monitoring: Implement indicators to monitor the environmental impacts of the product throughout its life cycle.

- Transparency and communication: Regularly communicate on the environmental performance of the product and the improvements made through feedback.

8. Continuous innovation:

- Research and development: Invest in research to develop new technologies and materials that further reduce the environmental impact of products.

- Adoption of best practices: Monitor industry trends and adopt best practices to constantly improve the environmental performance of products.
