EcoFly

How does EcoFly work?

EcoFly is a simple and practical software tool.  Feed in the Bill of Materials and information on the life of the product – such as how much power will it consume and what is the expected product life.  From this, EcoFly calculates the energy use, carbon emitted, waste generation and water consumption over the whole life of the product – from build through to end of life.   Applying EcoFly through the design of a product provides the dossier of evidence – and also provides the final evidence of compliance to EuP standards.  The tool also gives designers  suggested technical refinements, from the initial planning stage up until the final detailed design, in order to improve the eco-design of your product. EcoFly follows the normal product launch process according to ISO9001.

So, is EcoFly just a compliance tool?

EcoFly is also a self-improvement and benchmarking tool.  You can understand just where in the life of your product that most environmental impact arises.  Designers can also measure improvements over previous models.  Or benchmark products against competitors and best practice.   And it can also be used to meet eco design label requirements.  In short, it’s the first comprehensive life cycle design tool specifically developed for product designers. 

Call us for a demonstration of EcoFly today and we will respond to you within the next working day.  It has the power to both comply with the forthcoming EuP requirements and also create clear and different messages on environmental performance to customers.
