Design for Environment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Design for Environment is a concept trying to avoid environmental burdens of products, processes and services already in an early stage of the product development. Often the environmental Life cycle assessment (LCA) is employed to forecast the impacts of different (production) alternatives of the product in question, thus being able to choose the most environmentally friendly. Different software tools have been developed to assist designers finding optimised products (or processes/services).
