Eco Design &
Environmental Regulations

Granta helps you to:

  • Address environmental requirements early in design—when changes matter most and cost least
  • Apply practical eco design tools—there is no need to develop expertise in lifecycle assessment or to hunt for the right eco data
  • Assess and manage restricted substance risk for all of your production parts, processes, materials, and coatings
  • Design-out risk due to REACH and similar regulations
"With suitable processes and tools in place, you can not only begin to deliver on eco design, but can actually
enhance innovation and reduce costs." —Granta Eco Design Guide

Eco design tools

Explore eco indicators including energy usage, CO<sub>2</sub> footprint, water usage, costGranta's eco audit technology enables easy-to-use, interactive tools that help you to make more sustainable design decisions. You can quickly estimate environmental impact, then combine this information with cost and performance data to guide materials selection. The Eco Audit Tool enables expert analysis by materials specialists and designers. Eco Materials Adviser is a tool that delivers this capability within the Autodesk Inventor CAD environment.

Restricted substances

Granta provides a comprehensive information solution for restricted substancesGranta helps you to assess, manage, and design-out risk due to restricted substance regulations. You can track global legislation, link this information to materials and coatings, and inform selection and substitution decisions in design—all in order to deliver your long-term compliance strategy.

Reference data

Plotting Granta data in a materials property chartGranta's aim is to enable a rational and well-informed response to eco challenges. Such an approach must be underpinned by the right data. Granta is a unique source of such data, drawn from or estimated using the best sources currently available. Granta's Eco Data Series covers the properties of materials, coatings, and processes, restricted substance data, and eco properties.
