Enabling quick and relevant eco-design
Designing better from the start is a key aspect of reducing the world’s consumption. However, product footprinting can be very technical, requiring specific life cycle assessment (LCA) skills that most product design teams don’t have. The key is to put the sustainable guidance in the hands of the people that can make the difference – the product designers – and make this guidance simple to follow, quick, and scalable.
At Anthesis, we have developed the Green Design Tool specifically with this vision in mind. Anthesis’ Green Design Tool is customizable to your requirements, can evolve with your team’s needs, and is quick and easy to use.
Who benefits from the Green Design tool?
- Product design and R&D teams, to guide where to innovate for greatest impact
- Procurement teams, to guide supply chain improvements
- Account teams, to provide a compelling sales differentiator
