German Ecodesign Award 2023: 26 Projects Nominated After Assessment of 150 Entries in Berlin

The German Ecodesign Award was first introduced in 2012 as an initiative by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection, in partnership with the International Design Center Berlin (IDZ) and the German Environment Agency. The objective of this prestigious award is to recognize and honor innovative products and concepts that embody high ecological and aesthetic aspirations. The German Ecodesign Award aims to encourage innovation and support the introduction and widespread adoption of environmentally sound products through a high-profile award. It is designed to promote and encourage eco-friendly designs that are both aesthetically pleasing and sustainable. The competition provides an excellent platform for companies and designers to showcase their products and ideas that boast exceptional ecological and design quality. The International Design Center Berlin (IDZ) has been commissioned to develop the competition format and implementation, with the support of a project advisory board. The competition is open to all companies and designers, regardless of their size, location, or industry. To be eligible for the award, the products and concepts must meet specific criteria such as resource efficiency, durability, recyclability, and eco-friendliness. The German Ecodesign Award is an exceptional opportunity for businesses and designers to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and innovation while celebrating and promoting groundbreaking eco-friendly products and concepts.

The two-day session held on September 25 and 26 at the Metropolenhaus Berlin was a crucial event for the German Ecodesign Award 2023. During this period, the jury meticulously inspected and assessed nearly 150 entries. The environmental and design experts spent considerable time reviewing each submission before finally selecting the top 26 projects to be nominated for the award. The chosen projects demonstrated exceptional qualities that stood out from the rest. The winners of the German Ecodesign Award 2023 will be revealed on December 4, at a highly anticipated ceremony to be held at the Federal Ministry for the Environment.
