As sustainability expectations rise and resources become increasingly limited, industries must shift toward more circular, responsible models. That means embedding environmental thinking directly into design processes—and understanding the full impact of products and systems across their entire life cycle.
From material selection to end-of-life strategies, eco-design and life cycle assessment (LCA) are critical tools for building more sustainable and resilient industrial ecosystems.
At Airbus Protect, we help organisations transform environmental ambition into tangible design and operational practices. By combining proven eco-design methods with deep expertise in LCA, we support clients in assessing their environmental footprint and identifying opportunities to reduce it—without compromising performance.
Our teams work closely with clients to anticipate the environmental impact of projects from the start, develop more circular approaches, and ensure critical resources are used wisely. We embed sustainability into every phase of the lifecycle, building long-term value and resilience.
Developing a dynamic ecodesign platform for engineering teams
For a major aerospace and defence organisation, we are building a methodological platform designed to guide engineering teams in integrating ecodesign principles throughout product development. The platform provides access to tools, resources, and methodologies for assessing and minimising environmental impact at system and component level.
It is designed as a collaborative and evolving space, adapting continuously to the organisation’s sustainability goals and ecodesign roadmap.

Case study of helicopter air conditioning system and MBSE integration Introduction The aeronautics sector is characterised by extremely strict performance, safety, and reliability requirements, making the development of new systems inherently complex. Onboard mechanical systems, such as helicopter air conditioning systems, shall not only meet rigorous technical specifications but also integrate flawlessly into an overall […]
Meet Pierre Wolf, Line Manager at Airbus Protect. Tell us about your role in a few words. As an industrial risk modelling engineer, I’m responsible for numerically modelling dangerous phenomena like fires, explosions, and toxic clouds, so we can simulate their potential impact. The results of my analyses are used to: Assess aircraft system designs […]
Though the conference covered a wide range of topics, a few came up more than others, such as NIS2, cyber ranges, implementing standards, supply chain security and cultural challenges. In this blog, we’ll dive into a few of these themes and reflect on what we learned at the conference. What will NIS2 mean for us? […]
