Recylum, Ecologic, Eco-systems and ERPonline "Eco3e", a comprehensive guideeco-design of electrical and electronic equipment.
Récylum Ecologic, Eco-systems and ERP, eco-organisms approved by the public authorities for the management of household DEEEs, are putting online a bilingual website (French/English) to help producers in their eco-design of electrical and electronic equipment and thus improve their recycling.
Issues and origins of the "Eco3e" site
The "Eco3e" site, entirely dedicated to producers of electrical and electronic equipment in the broadest sense (manufacturers, importers and distributors under own brand), aims to provide the keys to understanding the value of eco-design from the perspective of the end-of-life of equipment put on the market.
An educational site, "Eco3e" tries to answer the questions of neophytes as well as those of eco-design experts by addressing:
1. The strengths of eco-design;
2. Eco-design regulations and standards (DEEE, RoHS, EuP and REACH guidelines as well as ecolabels);
3. Eco-design tools (ISO standards, life cycle analysis, indicators,...
4. Some eco-design tracks to improve the recycling of equipment, organized by waste streams, equipment or materials.
The "Eco3e" website is aimed at all the services of a company, from the general management to the design office, through marketing or even shopping.
"Eco3e" an evolutionary site, the result of collaborative work
"Eco3e" is the result of 3 years of collaboration between the recycling experts of the 4 eco-organisms initiated this project and the teachers of the National Higher School of Arts and Crafts in Chambery under the direction of Daniel Froelich (internationally recognized researcher in the field of industrial eco-design) and Martin Charter, research professor at the University of Surrey (England).
Interactive, "Eco3e" gives Internet users the opportunity to comment on each of its listings, allowing a collaborative update of the site by various stakeholders (equipment producers, eco-organisms, researchers, waste treatment companies ...) as regulations, science and technology evolve.
