Product Environmental Declarations
Over a 4-month sprint, we achieved AGEC Law compliance for Ariston through systematic regulatory analysis, collaboration with electrical system experts, and identification of knowledge gaps. We consolidated relevant information for compliant disclosure.
Obsolecence Management
Over six months, we tackled our client’s locomotive reliability concerns by performing YTEOL analysis on three crucial systems. We offered customized recommendations that balanced economic advantages with essential technical and safety constraints.
Reducing Plastic Packaging
We assisted Hager Group in targeting 100% sustainable packaging by 2024, eliminating 300+ tons of plastic waste. Collaborating with external suppliers, we analyzed current plastic usage, launched reduction projects, and redesigned packaging to meet technical and marketing needs.
