Elise Chaumat , CEA, France

The time, complexity and data intensity associated with the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of electronic systems makes it impractical to use during design and support design choices. This talk will present STEETCH, an eco-design tool made by and for electronic designers, leveraging insights from interviews with electronic experts. STEETCH consists of an open-access web application relying on simplified LCA, design guidelines and educational content to facilitate the introduction of environmental metrics from the early stages of design in order to support decision-making.
