Modelling the value of eco-design for a global auto parts maker

Modelling of distribution of costs and savings for addition of eco-designed features on parts

For three different auto parts, we modelled the economic viability of increasing their repairability, under various constraints

• Price increase (1st mount / “première monte”)
• Discount on second-hand parts vs. new parts
• Public incentives on second-hand parts
• Margin adjustments of various stakeholders

This resulted in a tool designed to assessed future parts with limited inputs, in order to decided on further implementation of circularity features (eg changing design or material)
