Product information "Ecodesign"
This unique book serves as a key guide for designers, organizations, governments, companies, or anybody else with an interest in a sustainable future, by addressing three main topics: First, ecodesign is explained for what it is and how it fits with the necessity for a sustainable planet. Second, ecodesign is shown to be a coherent and practical process with a plan and tools that can be used to provide solutions for the environmental challenges the world faces. Third, the impact of the ecodesign approach is elaborated for enterprises, governments, and consumers.
Both legislation and consumer pressure for more sustainable goods and services require industry and academia to come up with meaningful solutions that consider economic, societal, and environmental aspects alike. This book provides the necessary clarity and tools to assess current products and support and inspire design of new ones to minimize the environmental impact and improve the circularity.

"The book Ecodesign by Van Doorsselaer and Koopmans serves as a key guide for designers, organizations, governments, companies, or anybody else with an interest in a sustainable future, by addressing three main topics in 11 chapters. [...] This book provides the necessary clarity and tools to assess current products and support and inspire design of new ones to minimize the environmental impact and improve the circularity." TPE Magazine, February 2022
“Expanding on the cradle-to-cradle ideal of full recyclability and reuse, this multifaceted book brings together the wide diversity of inputs and participants that must exist for a viable and economically sustainable approach to full resource utilization. We all know it is a hard target, and many past efforts have fallen short, but Doorselaer and Koopmans lay out what has to be in place for true, full-cycle circularity to work.” Robert Sylvest, President, Opportunity Analysis Associates, LLC.
