Ecodesign

We begin with our designers, engineers, developers and production experts to consider the full life-cycle of a program and its components, taking into consideration:

• Using healthier materials when possible (e.g. recycled content, recyclability, no harmful or toxic ingredients, etc)
• Using certified materials
• Optimizing overall weight
• Designing components to disassemble at end of life, allowing parts and substrates to be placed into their recycling streams
• Integrating reusable elements 
• Recommending single-use materials 
• Limiting laminating when possible
• Printing and texture production via digital printing methods
• Optimizing palletization in development phase
• Optimizing shipment with flat packing
• Identifying recycling codes and matching to in-store streams 
• Offering takeback programs for getting more waste into a recycling stream
