(3DPlatform - Accordion)Frequently Asked Questions About Innovation for Sustainable Development What are some examples of sustainable innovations that Dassault Systemes has helped its customers achieve? Some examples are curbing food waste, developing offshore wind farms or small modular nuclear reactors, producing green steel, transforming infrastructure and cities, and designing low-carbon homes. For more information, visit [Learn more](https://www.3ds.com/insights/customer-stories/?woc=%7B%22topic%22%3A%5B%22topic%2Fsustainability%22%5D%7D) What is the name of the solution that Dassault Systemes offers on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to help users measure and improve the environmental impact of their designs? The Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) solution allows companies to assess environmental impacts of products designs across different key indicators - CO2 emissions, water use, land use, etc. LCA also enables trade-off analysis to identify best alternatives. How can the 3DEXPERIENCE platform help reduce waste? The data science experience on the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform empowers designers and engineers to enhance their product designs by making decisions in the context of the virtual twin. What is eco-design? Eco-design is a transformative approach to switch from a linear to a circular model. As defined by the ISO 14006 standard, its integrates "environmental aspects into product and design development with the aim of reducing adverse environmental impacts throughout a product’s life cycle". In other words, eco-design considers the environmental impact at all stage of a product's life cycle. What is the application of sustainable innovation? Sustainable innovation entails implementing innovative solutions to tackle environmental and social challenges. It involves a comprehensive approach to addressing global issues, taking into account economic, environmental, and social aspects. Utilizing a sustainability innovation platform allows for the generation, development, and dissemination of new ideas, products, and services that positively impact both the environment and society.
