Arbor Determines a Product's Environmental Impact
Debra John — April 16, 2025A product’s environmental impact is largely determined during its design phase—often accounting for 70–90% of its total footprint. Arbor addresses this critical stage by offering an advanced product lifecycle platform that empowers designers and manufacturers to make informed, sustainable decisions before production begins.
With Arbor’s sustainable product prototyping tool, users can simulate and compare design changes, evaluate alternative materials, and model carbon emissions across the entire lifecycle of a product. The platform enables proactive exploration of eco-conscious strategies, helping teams align with circularity goals and reduce emissions through measurable, data-driven insights.
By integrating real environmental data into the design workflow, Arbor provides a practical and interactive approach to reducing a product’s impact before it is finalized. This ensures that sustainability is embedded into every stage of development, from concept to completion.
