An alternative DfE approach to value creation lies in the application of the principles of Eco-Design retrospectively to existing products. Reverse engineering has long been a tool used by engineers to both find out how things work, to reduce cost (value engineering) and to evaluate and improve existing designs. Giraffe offer the following:
- External objective product tear downs including recommendations on design improvements; and
- Measurement of the potential financial and environmental savings associated with design changes.
Eco-Design training including product tear-down.
The Eco-Design Club “Circular by Design” is launching in 2015. For more information please get in contact.
