Abstract
The Danish methodology and tools for environmental assessment of
products (EDIP) became public available in 1996-97. Following the
EDIP-project, projects reflecting methodological developments and
simplifications for a broader use have been lanuched, also taking
the methodology beyond Danish borders and into Europe and Asia.
Simplification projects comprise development of a manual for SME's
and identification of product families. Industrial applications
are exemplified by a product development project at the pump
manufacturer Grundfos, and by this company's use of the
EDIP-methodology in connection with EMAS-registration.
