Support for eco-design studies of products and services

ADEME offers financial aid to support eco-design, sustainable production, and European Ecolabel certification projects.

ADEME supports:

• in-depth studies with the diagnostic stage, which is the first structuring step for a company to commit to improving the environmental performance of its products, and with the subsequent implementation stage, which concretizes the transition to carrying out actions and marketing products or services with lower impacts;
• simplified pre-diagnostics (for SMEs) allowing an initial appropriation of the approach;
• support initiatives for obtaining and certifying the European Ecolabel (for SMEs).

For SMEs, support for a standard diagnostic is provided by Bpifrance, via the Diag Écoconception.

ADEME offers guidelines to help define the content and expectations of eco-design studies:

• Eco-design diagnostic guidelines – ADEME library
• Guidelines for implementing an eco-design approach
