80% of impact
what
approach to design that considers the materials, processes & practices of a company
why
it helps identify layers of waste & layers of value
how
ecodesign considers all life cycle impacts, adressing the biggest impacts and designs these out
lighter, stronger, smarter
light / right - weighting
closed loop / circular economy
optimise materials & resources
bio-based materials, biomaterials
de-materialise the supply chain
all well and good but..
environmental performance
design narratives of bio-based materials
OAT: shoes that bloom
Suzanne Lee: Bio-Couture
need for a new narrative?
perform as good but similar?
or perform better in right context & disrupt meaning of material?

Public Tool Release
provide a streamlined LCA calculation to support ecodesign decisions provide a systematic and sound definition of environmental strategies identify the materials, processes and lifecycle stages with the highest environmental impact
use selected Key Performance Indicators (KEPI’s) to monitor the environmental performance, eco-labeling, EPD and PCR’s eco-benchmark and compare different product scenarios
provide popup information and guidance on designs, properties and characteristics about bio-based plastics Concentrate on four plastics Starch based plastics PLA: polylatic acids PHA: polyhydroxyalkanotes Bio PE: Bio-based plastic Polyethylene
