4. The ecodesign of products is a crucial factor in the Community strategy on Integrated Product Policy. As a preventive approach, designed to optimise the environmental performance of products, while maintaining their functional qualities, it provides genuine new opportunities for manufacturers, for consumers and for society as a whole. A variety of options should be considered in order to enhance energy and resource efficiency and limit pollution, such as functional thinking (turning products into services), dematerialisation through ICT and technology development based on imitating nature (biomimicry).
