About this product
Product Information
There is a huge scarcity of good, practical resources for designers and students interested in minimizing the environmental impacts of products. Design + Environment has been specifically written to address this paucity. The book first provides background information to help the reader understand how and why design for environment (DfE) has become so critical to design, with reference to some of the most influential writers, designers and companies in the field. Next, Design + Environment provides a step-by-step approach on how to approach DfE: to design a product that meets requirements for quality, cost, manufacturability and consumer appeal, while at the same time minimising environmental impacts. The first step in the process is to undertake an assessment of environmental impacts, using life-cycle assessment (LCA) or one of the many simpler tools available to help the designer. From then on, DfE becomes an integral part of the normal design process, including the development of concepts, design of prototypes, final design and development of marketing strategies. Environmental assessment tools and strategies to reduce environmental impacts, such as the selection of appropriate materials, are then discussed. Next, some of the links between environmental problems, such as global warming, ozone depletion, water and air pollution and the everyday products we consume are considered. In order to design products with minimal environmental impact, we need to have a basic understanding of these impacts and the interactions between them. The four subsequent chapters provide more detailed strategies and case studies for particular product groups: packaging, textiles, furniture, and electrical and electronic products. Guidelines are provided for each of the critical stages of a product's life, from the selection of raw materials through to strategies for recovery and recycling. Finally, Design + Environment takes a look at some of the emerging trends in DfE that are offering us the opportunity to make a more significant reduction in environmental impacts. Both the development of more sustainable materials and technologies and the growing interest in leasing rather than selling products are examined. Design + Environment is organized as a workbook rather than an academic text. It should be read once, and then used as a key reference source. This clear and informative book will prove to be invaluable to practising designers, to course directors and their students in need of a core teaching and reference text and to all those interested in learning about the tools and trends influencing green product design. The authors have all been involved in an innovative demonstration programme called "EcoReDesign", which was developed by the Centre for Design at RMIT University with funding from the Australian government. The Centre successfully collaborated with Australian companies to improve the environmental performance of their products by following DfE principles.

Design + Environment was specifically written to address the scarcity of good, practical resources for designers and students interested in minimising the environmental impacts of products. This clear and informative book will be invaluable to all those interested in learning about the tools and trends influencing green product design., Design + Environment should appeal beyond the design specialist to anyone interested in sustainable development. And that should be the entire product team, from designers and engineers to marketers and executives., If you've ever wondered what goes into your laptop, your fridge or your fleece but didn't dare to ask, here's a book to kick start your research. Aimed at designers and those who teach them, this thorough, clearly laid out and practical guidebook will become an essential reference text for those interested in design and manufacturing ... for just as designers fashion a product's function and looks, so too are they in a crucial position to affect the pollution it will emit during manufacturing, use and disposal., In all it is an excellent book for designers and students in the design/engineering field that are looking for a technically proficient yet not overly scientific reference book. For those companies who are ISO 14001 certified this book will help if your design teams have, to date, been left out or unclear as the their role and importance in the process., Aimed at designers and those who teach them, this thorough, clearly laid out and practical guidebook will become an essential reference text for those interested in design and manufacturing., This book offers a comprehensive survey of the work of the Centre for Design (CfD) at RMIT, which throughout the mid-to-late nineties ran a government funded industry partnered program called EcoRedesign ... Since RMIT's CfD is now recognised as one of the world's leading exponents of ecodesign, this book is a very welcome summation of their important work ... The authors have a strong faith in the power of Life Cycle Assessments to form the basis of more sustainable design processes ... Design + Environment manages to turn the breadth of complex and often contradictory research in this area into "basic checklists and general rules of thumb" ... Most of the questions evoked by Design + Environment ask "why"? Why is there so much packaging even if manufacturers could save money by reducing the amount? ... In short, why are designers, consumers, corporations and societies to date so unsustainable? ... This then is an excellent ecodesign teaching resource., One of the joys of D+E is four chapters dedicated to the ecological problems of and technical details of particular product categories ... Likewise, the knowledge-packed chapters on packaging, furniture, and electronic products are valuable resources., Designers and product developers looking for a primer on creating sustainable products will be grateful to Helen Lewis and John Gertsakis., With lots of references, further reading ideas to follow up on, extremely well laid out and very easy to read. Highly interesting and encouraging., As part of the global movement toward sustainable consumption and design, Design + Environment offers a carefully researched and practical outlook in helping designers and manufacturers lift the bar ..., The authors discuss strategies relating to each critical stage of product life, from raw materials selection to recovery and recycling. Energy and water efficiency are considered, as are the trade-offs implicit in the choice of eco-design strategies. The final chapter addresses emerging trends in DfE. The book is studded with illustrated case studies, most of them specific to particular product groups., As a textbook ... this product by the team behind the RMIT center for Design EcoRedesign program is much welcomed for its accessible applied nature., "Aimed at designers and those who teach them, this thorough, clearly laid out and practical guidebook will become an essential reference text for those interested in design and manufacturing."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
