MARBEL eco-design methodology presented at the SETAC Annual Meeting
A poster on eco-design methodology applied in MARBEL was showcased by partners from Eurecat, the project’s coordinator, at the 34th SETAC Annual Meeting celebrated from 5th – 9th of May at the Fibes Conference and Exhibition Centre in Seville, Spain.
Laura Mayor and Carolina Villa, researchers at the Waste, Energy and Environmental Impact Unit of Eurecat, attended the event and presented the poster “Sustainable Design for Electric Vehicle Battery Packs: An Integrated Eco-Design Methodology”. This work introduces the eco-design methodological framework that has been developed by Eurecat and applied to MARBEL project in the design of a battery pack for electric vehicles.
The MARBEL eco-design framework, inspired by the iterative cycle of Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA), embodies inclusivity and adaptability, placing stakeholders view as the heart of decision-making. With this approach, designers are able to contribute to the implementation of circular practices without compromising technical performance, making it applicable to any other sector.
The poster was prepared by project partners from Eurecat Violeta Vargas-Parra, José Jorge Espí-Gallart and Frederic Clarens.
The SETAC Annual Meeting celebrated in Seville counted with more than 440 oral presentations across 10 parallel sessions and over 2,000 posters presented, covering several topics related to cutting-edge environmental science sectors.
