 Our ECO-it software allows you to model a complex product and its life cycle in a few minutes. ECO-it calculates the environmental load, and shows which parts of the product's life cycle contribute most. With this information you can target your creativity to improve the environmental performance of the product.
Why you need ECO-it
 To apply Design for Environment, designers need a yardstick to measure the environmental performance of a product. Most environmental information is confusing and often fragmented. With ECO-it you have a tool to really measure and optimize the environmental performance of products.
It uses the well known Eco-indicator method to show you the environmental
impacts.
ECO-it is easy to use, you can model your product in minutes and know its environmental
impact. back to top
User profile ECO-it is a tool for product and packaging designers. Designers often work under time pressure, and cannot be expected to be environmental experts. With ECO-it you can work without detailed environmental knowledge. ECO-it is easy to use and gives instant results. For this reason, it is also the perfect tool for education!

Eco-indicator ECO-it uses Eco-indicator scores to express the environmental performance of a product's life cycle as a single figure. These scores are calculated using the Eco-indicator methodology. This method is based on the principles of Life Cycle Assessment. Despite the fact there is not one perfect method and there never will be, the Eco-indicator is based upon the best available scientific information. The method was developed for the Dutch government by an international expert team. The method is used by many companies and LCA specialists.

single scores in ECO-it, read these introductory reports:

Databases ECO-it comes with over 200 Eco-indicator 99 scores for commonly used materials such as metals, plastics, paper, board and glass as well as production, transport, energy and waste treatment processes. These scores are like predefined building blocks to model the life cycle of your products. 100 Eco-indicator 95 scores are also included.
 You can edit the database, or create your own databases with different scoring methods with ECO-edit. This way, you can make ECO-it your ‘front end’ to present your LCA data to designers. back to top
