Green product development

SUSTAINABILITY

Systematic reduction of CO2 emissions to enable CSR/ESG targets by Robust Design

Robust Design methods can drive CO2 reductions by product design. Design the core product for sustainability benefits all along the product lifecycle.

Green materials

We believe in more than 30% CO2 emissions reduction by material substitution from virgin to green materials - enabled by Robust Design.

Energy optimization

+50% CO2 emissions reduction of energy loss due to friction in dynamic interfaces.

Process optimization

+10% CO2 emissions reduction by change of part production processes

Typical

CO2 reduction by product redesign - step by step process

Typical process for a green product redesign. Typical either an outsourced effort - or a co-creation effort (to sustain Robust Design learnings at the given company)

Baseline

3-9 weeks

Target setting

1-3 weeks

Entering new product development loop

Timeline depending product complexity & targets

Establishment of product baseline – see the product review service
Product benchmark
Design improvement recommendations & concept proposals

Translation of CO2 emission reduction targets into tangible design targets (e.g. material substitution, material reduction, process change)
The setting of redesign scope (e.g. CO2 reduction target vs. quality target, cost target, performance target) and constraints (e.g. reuse of production equipment/processes/suppliers, reuse of assembly equipment, backward compatibility, etc.)

Product redesign – revisiting relevant parts of the new product development process
