Innovation
• Renewable energy is cheaper than
coal in US
• By 2021, 1 in 4 products bought will
be sustainable
• Sweden eliminates fossil fuels by
2040 and challenges other countries
• Germany’s renewables outstrips coal
and generates 77% of the need
But still...
55
Innovation
• We are aware of and tackling the
energy challenge
But what about our material
footprint?!
66
Culture
80% of product emissions throughout the
lifecycle are fixed in the design phase
77
In some cases the producer has control of the product
lifecycle impact, in other cases the customer

Why can’t we innovate and redesign products to help
customers make sustainable choices?

Some key points on sustainable product design
• Start from the product lifecycle impact and design to mitigate
• Fool proof design to trigger sustainable behaviour
• Think about the net effect from a systems perspective
• Communicate the customer value your sustainable design brings
• Let this information trickle down onto the design table

We can rely on innovation and design to steer use, but how to
solve the material conundrum?

The product as an “organized problem” – why not offer it as a
service?
Putting power and
responsibility together at the
producer’s side aligns incentives
Moreover: the customer is
“protected” and doesn’t need to
make choices anymore
1717
Why are circular business models strategically relevant?
Competition shifts discussion
to price (& lower quality)
State-of-the art (ETAP) lighting
technology puts pressure on a
sales-based business model

ETAP performance (LLMF)
Bringing sustainability closer to
the business
• Find ways to connect sustainability to
economics & valorize it in the market
• Ecodesign (doing less bad) > circular
design (doing more good)
Build relationship with end-
customer (vs. installer)
Unlocking customer value
• Customers are outsourcing all non-core
spend (focus)
• Easier to obtain OPEX than CAPEX-
budget
• Products are becoming increasingly
complex

Some key points on sustainable business design
• Explore circular economy business models to link power and responsibility in
your value chain
• Gauge for strategic signals that the customer is in need of a product instead
of a service
• Use the circular economy and smart product design as a lever under the
economics of your business model
