Executive Summary
Product compliance and sustainability have become decisive factors in product design. Global regulations push compliance and sustainability requirements upstream, influencing design, material selection, sourcing and product life cycles. Additionally, sustainability commitments and consumer expectations promote designs that prioritize recyclability, durability and reduced environmental impact. This creates pressures – and opportunities – for firms to use product compliance and sustainability as design enablers of sustainable products, gaining market advantage through innovation and customer trust. This report examines how regulatory trends and sustainability goals converge to reshape design strategies, highlighting best practices and solutions that allow firms to balance compliance, sustainable performance and product innovation.About the Authors
