In the new green business climate, global manufacturing companies must continually assess and improve their products and processes to retain customers, gain competitive advantage and comply with environmental legislation. The areas of Eco Lifecycle assessment, improvement and innovation will become increasing important for companies wishing to compete in global markets.


Green EcoSystems Group
, (GESG)
offers specialized technology and consulting resources with the capability to help companies assess and improve all of the business processes required for the management of the critical environmental aspects and impacts of product toxicity, waste stream management and energy utilization. 


The EU continues to be the champion of legislation focused on reducing the product toxicity, hazardous waste and energy use of products. Current EU directives such as RoHS, REACH, WEEE and EuP are examples of key legislative drivers for improvement of each of the core environmental aspects within an Eco Lifecycle.  A key business driver for any manufacturing company is the establishment of competitive advantage. In a Green EcoSystem, this is achieved by considering the company’s position in the areas of product toxicity, waste stream reduction and energy utilization and rapidly implementing Eco Lifecycle product/process improvement plans.


Eco Lifecycle improvement processes require focus on four major areas that require communication with a company’s upstream supply chain as well as its downstream customers. These processes are identified in the Green EcoSystem Process Improvement matrix below.  For more detailed information on Green EcoSystem Assessment and Process Improvement please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
