Circular design is no longer an option, but a strategic necessity that requires a change in mindset and cutting-edge tools to manage data complexity. Often, this transformation is hampered by a lack of consistency and collaboration between different teams and locations.
We are pleased to announce a major update to our platform: the company’s personal materials library feature has been enhanced. Now, all teams can access, upload and share their customised materials library directly from remote locations.
This update transforms the way Research and Development (R&D) and designers operate on a daily basis:
– Maximum consistency and speed: Centralised access ensures that all designers use the same data and the same approved circular materials. Say goodbye to misalignment and data entry errors, for an Ecodesign process that is not only correct, but also much faster.
– Decisions based on verified data: Designers can compare materials, suppliers and end-of-life scenarios in real time, ensuring that every choice makes a verifiable contribution to improving the circularity of the product.
Updating the Library is not just an operational convenience, but a strategic pillar in view of new European regulations:
The Ecodesign Regulation for Sustainable Products (ESPR) requires products to be designed to be more durable, repairable and recyclable. To demonstrate compliance, companies must have access to transparent and standardised product data.
Our centralised Library ensures that data on material circularity is:
– Documented: The entire history of the material and its performance is stored in one place.
– Up to date: The team can easily maintain regulatory compliance by updating technical data sheets as soon as regulatory requirements change.
The DPP will require the collection and sharing of a huge volume of sustainability data across the entire value chain. A centralised, collaborative Materials Library is the basis for:
– Data traceability: Every material used is identified and tracked from the design stage, greatly simplifying the collection of information required for the DPP.
– Simplified reporting: The system is integrated with data export functions (Excel), enabling immediate and transparent reporting, which is essential for the creation and verification of the Digital Passport.
Updating your company’s personal materials library aims to make the circularity measurement process as smooth and efficient as possible. By providing your teams with maximum consistency and access to real-time data, we ensure that your entire business value chain is aligned not only with sustainability goals, but also with strict future regulatory requirements.
