Roberto Vetrano

CEO, Bodenschatz AG

«The ecodesign process with a pragmatic life cycle assessment of two products by Milani was very valuable for us. The innovation potential derived from this both pays off in terms of sustainability and strengthens our market position.»

Make your design process ESPR-compliant - actionable and market-ready

Sustainable design is no longer a nice-to-have, but the new standard in modern product development. The new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products (ESPR) directive requires that all products placed on the EU market be designed to be more environmentally friendly.

We help you design your products in a way that meets both the new legal requirements and the expectations of your customers. We start where you have the most leverage: in the design phase, where up to 80% of a product's environmental impact is determined.

Whether you are new to product sustainability or already have experience, we systematically integrate sustainability into your design and innovation processes to keep you competitive in the future.

With our proven, data-driven ecodesign and circular design processes, we provide targeted impetus - from material optimization to the development of a comprehensive circular economy strategy. We always keep an eye on the balance between user needs, feasibility and cost-effectiveness to ensure your long-term competitive advantage.
