With 80 percent of product environmental impacts typically determined in the design phase, it is vital to introduce sustainability issues such as sustainable sourcing and chemical safety before designs and materials choices are set.

Our team helps anchor sustainability in the product development process. Pure Strategies conducts life cycle and hotspot assessments to identify priorities for product development efforts. We then develop guidelines and tools that empower product teams from the beginning of the project through commercialization.

Pure Strategies has helped companies develop custom scorecards that provide product designers with a scoring approach to materials selection, design and other factors to improve product sustainability performance. Our experts have developed product scorecards in numerous categories, including toys, biopharma, non-woven materials and formulated products.
