These include measures such as repairability, refurbishment, recycling, and the introduction of digital product passports that detail the product’s carbon and environmental footprint.
What impact will the current EU Eco-Design Regulation have on the future design of eyewear? Lutz Gathmann, designer (VDID) and safety engineer (VDSI), will explore key questions:
- What relevance does the regulation have for our industry?
- Does it only affect the design of smart eyewear?
- How will the digital product passport come into play?
