Siemens EcoTech

To help make your buying decision easier, Siemens has introduced a new label: Siemens EcoTech. This is an environmental declaration for our products based on product-specific evaluations of sustainability relevant KPIs.

Introducing Siemens EcoTech

Siemens EcoTech is an environmental product performance label designed to drive the sustainable transformation of industry and infrastructure. The label gives you transparency about the performance of our certified products across environmental relevant criteria, enabling you to make informed choices to support your sustainability goals.

Siemens EcoTech profiles validated by TÜV Rheinland

The approach and assessing methodology of Siemens EcoTech is now externally validated by TüV Rheinland according to ISO standards 14020 & 14021, providing additional proof of the correct and standardised approach used to collect our data.

Siemens EcoTech assessment—pushing the boundaries of transparency

The foundation for our Siemens EcoTech assessment is the Robust Eco Design approach. The framework provides a comprehensive set of criteria across three dimensions covering the entire product lifecycle. Products must meet mandatory requirements and fulfil at least one criterion in each dimension.

They must also provide a transparent validation statement in the externally accessible Siemens EcoTech profile. This ensures maximum transparency for you regarding the materials, design, use phase and end of lifecycle of our products.

Entire product lifecycle

Select...

Value recovery and circularity

Repairability

Increase ease of repair and maintenance through: characteristics, availability, modularity and compatibility with commonly available spare parts. Availability of repair and maintenance instructions plus use of standard components.

Upgradability

Process of enhancing the functionality, performance or capacity of a product. An upgrade to a product may involve changes to its software, firmware and/or hardware.

Ease of disassembling

Product circularity instruction indicating the ability of a product to be disassembled.

Recyclability

Ability of component parts, materials or both to be separated and reprocessed from products and systems and subsequently used as material input for the same or different use or function.

Take-back scheme

Process of returning product after end of use-phase for further modification within Siemens.

Our Robust Eco Design process

The Siemens Robust Eco Design (RED) approach provides the foundation for integrating ecodesign systematically into our product development and allows us to derive ecodesign specifications that are advantageous from an environment point of view while meeting our own sustainability goals as well as those of our customers and suppliers.

The Siemens EcoTech profiles download centre

To provide maximum transparency, we have created the Siemens EcoTech Profile (SEP) for all Siemens EcoTech products. It is a Siemens-created, standardised product data sheet which provides insights about the product performance in relevant environmental criteria, as well as about interpretation and comparison of this data against an existing norm, standard or predecessor product.
