The Environmental Impact Tool provides quick and easy insight into the (expected) impact of your product design. For example, in terms of materials (recycled versus biobased), production process, use (e.g., the impact of extending the product's lifespan), or end of life. This tool allows you to compare different scenarios. This helps you make concrete circular design choices that reduce environmental impact.
This is what you can expect
During this interactive session, expert David van Nunen will guide you and other companies through concrete questions that are relevant to your organization. You will be provided with practical and applicable solutions that you can really use. Below you will find an overview of the program structure:

- Why is it essential to calculate your environmental impact? We explain.
- Get started! Calculate the environmental impact of your product or service with the tool, with guidance of course.
- Review and next steps - together we determine how you can become more sustainable.
