PPDS Rebrands EcoDesign as ReDesign, Widens Sustainability Push
2026-09-11 · via Digital Signage Today
PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays, has renamed its EcoDesign program ReDesign and says it is now applying that circular design approach across new product development, not just a single line.
For operators, this is a naming and scope change more than a hardware launch. According to the announcement, ReDesign covers the full lifecycle of a product: initial concept, manufacturing, packaging, delivery, installation, remote management and end-of-life recycling. That is a broader remit than the original EcoDesign effort, which PPDS introduced in 2023 with its QE-Line display.
That QE-Line model is the reference point PPDS uses to explain what the philosophy has delivered so far. Andrea Barbuti, global product manager in EMEA for PPDS, said in the release that the QE-Line matches the performance of the equivalent Philips Signage 3000 Series (Q-Line) while cutting power consumption by up to 50% compared with that model. Barbuti said PPDS is now folding those lessons into its wider display range rather than keeping them confined to one product.
What this means for buyers
The announcement does not name which new displays or series will carry the ReDesign label first, nor does it give a timeline for when the broader lineup will reflect the approach. It also does not specify new power consumption targets, materials changes, or packaging changes beyond what was already disclosed for QE-Line. Buyers evaluating displays for sustainability credentials or procurement scorecards will want to ask PPDS directly which specific models fall under ReDesign and what, if anything, changes in specification or price versus current Q-Line and QE-Line products.
Sustainability claims tied to specific SKUs have become a factor in commercial display procurement, particularly for retail chains and enterprises with corporate energy targets, and rivals in the professional display market have made similar efficiency claims around their own product lines. A rename and scope expansion signals PPDS wants circular design treated as a company-wide standard rather than a feature of one series, but the practical proof point for operators remains what actual products ship under the new name and what their measured power draw and end-of-life handling look like compared with current offerings.
Until PPDS publishes model-level detail, the ReDesign framework functions as a stated design philosophy rather than a concrete spec sheet operators can plan against.

PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays, has renamed its EcoDesign as ReDesign. Along with the new name, the company has extended the circular design approach, applying it to the development of new products.
The PPDS' ReDesign philosophy spans initial concept and manufacturing, packaging, delivery, installation, remote management and end of life recycling, according to a press release.
"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," Andrea Barbuti, global product manager in EMEA for PPDS, said in the release. "Now, we are incorporating those learnings — that philosophy — into all our latest displays."
