Ecodesign days 2025

18 Sept 2025, 09:00 → 19 Sept 2025, 18:00 Europe/Paris

Conference Room Newton 1

 

The European Space Agency, ESA, invites space professionals and enthusiasts to join the “2025 Ecodesign Days”, which will take place 18th & 19th September 2025 at ESTEC, in The Netherlands.

This event is dedicated to the sustainability of space mission, particularly in preparation of the ESA Ministerial Council 2025.

This 1,5-day event will focus on the advancements in the fields of eco-design for space systems and more sustainable space technologies.

Participants will engage in discussions on eco-design initiatives and projects such as EcoStars, which aims to create more sustainable satellite platforms, and the development of greener space technologies. During this gathering, attendees will also have the opportunity to demonstrate their interest in joining a consortium.

Additionally, there will be a dedicated session on simplified Life Cycle Assessment and tools which are considered key to achieve the ecodesign ambitions.

ESA will also introduce the issue related to the atmospheric impact of demise and launcher emission to complete the long-term vision of ecodesign.

Furthermore, The European Space Agency and The European Commission working closely on environmental sustainability, are pleased to invite the members of the Technical Secretariat of the PEFCR for Space (PEFCR4Space) and sub-working groups to a combined meeting (0,5 days) to update the members on the data collected for the representative products and case studies and on the overall status of the PEFCR for space project.  

This meeting will take place on 19 September at ESTEC, in The Netherlands, just after the “2025 Ecodesign Days”. 

The meeting will be hybrid, with access to the meeting restricted to pre-registered members of the Technical Secretariat of the PEFCR for Space (PEFCR4Space) and its sub-working groups.
