This study examines how product development activities influence the environmental sustainability of complex mechatronic systems using a 2D-flatbed laser cutting system as a case study. Three levels are identified, the machine, operation and part level, at which design changes can affect environmental sustainability during machine operation. Utilizing operational machine data, nine design changes are derived indicating that ∼36% of the environmental impact in the use phase can be reduced through technical design solutions, enabling EcoDesign principles supported by data-driven approaches.
