70% of the environmental impact of projects is decided in the design phase; working as designers gives the power to decide to make design more sustainable and set projects on the path to excellence.
We present a simple and intuitive digital tool for public use, which allows the application of an eco-design methodology and the evaluation and assessment of graphic design projects from the point of view of eco-efficiency and sustainability.
The goal
What it is and how does it works
Featured projectsObjective
The improvement of environmental performance throughout the life cycle of graphic projects and the improvement of the capacity to evaluate their eco-efficiency and sustainability through an intuitive methodology that facilitates continuous reflection and rethinking of the processes and production of design projects.
New design habits incorporating more sustainable criteria into consumption and lifestyle.
