PPDS announced the evolution of its EcoDesign learnings with its ‘future proof product thinking,’ becoming ReDesign. The company said it has extended its circular design approach to the development of new products. PPDS said the philosophy reinforces its long term commitment to sustainability, circularity and social responsibility, embedded through every stage of its product lifecycles.

The company said this commitment forms the foundation of PPDS’s redefined ReDesign philosophy, which harnesses all previous learnings and discoveries and spans initial concept and manufacturing, packaging, delivery, installation, remote management and end of life recycling.

“In 2023, we introduced our QE-Line EcoDesign display, delivering the same high performance as its equivalent Philips Signage 3000 Series (Q-Line), while reducing power consumption by up to 50% compared with the same. This approach has allowed us not only to continuously improve our own sustainability performance, but also to help set new benchmarks for the industry.” said Andrea Barbuti, global product manager in EMEA for PPDS. “Now, we are incorporating those learnings – that philosophy – into all our latest displays. Because, put simply, why would we limit sustainability to one product? ReDesign represents the next evolution of that journey. It builds on everything we have achieved and learnt through the creation of EcoDesign, applying those insights across our portfolio to create more sustainable products, reduce environmental impact, and help our customers achieve their own sustainability ambitions.”

The company said the reimagined ReDesign philosophy is built around six core principles – reduce, reuse, repair, refurbish and recycle.

“Sustainability is not simply a buzzword, it is a business imperative that will shape the future of our industry. Real progress requires long term commitment and meaningful action, not short term initiatives or headline grabbing claims. At PPDS, sustainability has been embedded in our business, with continuous investment in research, development and innovation delivering measurable benefits for both our customers and the environment,” said Stefan van Sabben, global director CSR and sustainability for TPV, including PPDS.

The company said it is implementing this philosophy in the development of new products being manufactured and delivered across PPDS’ network. PPDS also said that it is working to produce more sustainable packaging solutions, such as packaging formats that have been reduced without compromising on protection integrity, recycled brown cardboard and packaging that is almost entirely plastic-free.

“ReDesign represents the next evolution of our business and our commitment to people and the planet. It is not simply about reducing plastic or energy use. It is about rethinking every stage of a product’s journey and lifecycle, from design and manufacturing through to longer lifetime and end of life. Our responsibility to sustainability does not end at the point of sale; it continues throughout the entire product lifecycle and beyond. That’s ReDesign, and this is the future of Philips Professional Displays,” said Vicky Fox, head of communications and a member of the sustainability team at PPDS.
