ECOSIGN
What is it?
ECOSIGN is a Sector Skills Alliance co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union aiming at creating an Eco-Innovation Skills partnership in four European countries (Slovenia, Spain, Romania and Italy) addressing the lack of knowledge of designers coming from the three economic sectors in which the Environmental Indicator Report 2014 focuses: food packaging, electronic goods and textile/ clothing.
It allows industrial designers from those sectors to reduce environmental impact during the product life-cycle from the earliest stage of design, including the use of raw materials and natural resources, manufacturing, packaging, transport, disposal and recycling, avoiding the risk of uncoordinated product planning that could lead to a negative impact for the environment (for example, eliminating a toxic substance should not lead to higher energy consumption).
Who is it for?
ECOSIGN is a new joint curriculum and a training course for European eco-designers that adds skills and competencies to the designers regarding environmental technologies.
It can be a great tool for architects, designers, engineers, other players in the construction industry as well as policymakers.
