[Eco-Design: Start Slow or 'Pedal to the Metal'?](http://us.anteagroup.com/en-us/blog/eco-design-start-slow-or-pedal-metal)

The recent announcement that Volvo will make [only electrified cars](https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/media/pressreleases/210058/volvo-cars-to-go-all-electric) starting in 2019 made Antea Group consultants think about a common client question: “Should we apply eco-design to a niche product to gain traction, or rapidly embed eco-design into all of our product lines?” Read our take on this topic in our latest [blog](http://us.anteagroup.com/en-us/blog/eco-design-start-slow-or-pedal-metal).
