During their entire life cycle, from cradle to grave, all products have an impact on the environment, including the use of raw materials and natural resources, manufacture, packaging, transportation, disposal, and recycling. More than 80% of a product’s environmental impact is decided at the design stage.

Ecodesign is a growing sense of responsibility and awareness of our impact on the environment. Consumer values have been questioned as a result of greater environmental consciousness, overcrowding, industrialization, and an expanded environmental population. It is critical to seek out new building solutions that are environmentally friendly and result in lower material and energy use. Second Cycle has created a methodology to provide operational direction on how to determine whether and which ecodesign standards are applicable for a certain product.

Life-cycle analysis is a methodology for examining environmental impacts associated with all stages of a commercial product’s, processes, or service’s life cycle. This give the opportunity to study the alternatives and try to reduce this pressure on the environment. For example, in the case of a manufactured product, environmental consequences are examined from the extraction and processing of raw materials, through manufacturing, distribution, and use of the product, to the recycling or final disposal f the materials that make it up.

When conducting a life cycle analysis, the most important thing is to learn the right reflexes to become responsible consumers, more attentive consumers who consider both ethical, environmental and economic criteria. Indeed, thanks to an organization like Second Cycle, a company can realize the life cycle analysis of a product that it manufactures or a service that it proposes to its customers. This allows it to identify the stages of the life cycle of a product or a service that have an influence on the environment, as well as the changes that can be made. The company thus considers all aspects that can intervene throughout the life cycle of its product, starting with its creation. This method is called eco-design, eco-design or sustainable design.
