Sustainable Design

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

All signals show that the world is at a turning point in successfully tackling the greatest challenge of our time: climate change. In this sense, sustainable design is an aspect that the DBZ has been working on since its beginnings. The centre carries out research and activities related to the development of sustainable products and services that incorporate environmental criteria in all phases of design and the life cycle of products.

The aim of the DBZ is to support companies in their proposals for integrated products and services to make them more sustainable in terms of environmental impact, and approached from the perspective of people-centred design.

One of the tools developed by the DBZ team is CircularTRANS. A digital platform that guides the transition of industrial organisations towards a circular economy model. In addition, in recent years an eco-innovation methodology has been created based on the disassembly of products and its own eco-design method.
