Description of the activity:
- The participants are divided into groups and they explore the best practice for the eco-designed product/service.
- Once they determine upon voting for which product they will focus mostly, they fill out a analysis for the product/service. If you work in an online environment, we recommend the jam board usage.
- The participants vote for each category, in terms of which inputs belong there and filling the eco circle matrix.
