for Ecodesign

Lecting ecological impact is not anymore an option.

Designing products without considering their environmental impact is no longer an option. This brings up two main challenges: integrating greater complexity into our processes, as considering the life cycle adds a new layer, and acquiring the necessary skills for impact assessment without delving into a detailed life cycle, which can be lengthy, costly, and too detailed for early-stage decisions.

Regulatory authorities are increasingly mandating transparency regarding the ecological impact of products and services; failing to meet these new expectations could result in losing customers and jeopardizing a leadership position.

In 2024, Geeglee triumphed in a CNES "eco-design", collaborating with impact assessment experts to develop a mind map that can be utilized independently or integrated into Geeglee software, streamlining upstream evaluation and promoting informed eco-design for new systems beyond just those in the space sector. Geeglee has requested that this work be made publicly available along with the mind map

3 easy steps

Step 1: Get and custom the Mind Map
- Access the mind map for free, courtesy of CNES, from the forum and personalize the Lifecycle Breakdown.
- Then, import it into your project in Geeglee Pattern

(GEP will use mind map's logic and integrate it into your project - it takes about 3 minutes).

Step 2: complete the missing data
- Geeglee Pattern will create a table with missing data to complete
  (Data can be filled using import/export of an Excel file)

The information required is quite straightforward: total number of full-time equivalents (FTE), the company's energy consumption, tap water usage.

Step 3: Use the generated "app" to decide
- Run the exploration of solutions and let Geeglee Pattern generate an "app" to let you decide
  (Geeglee Pattern will automatically generate an "app" including all the scenarios and trade-offs to let you take the hand on the decision.)
