Eco-design for Manufacturers
The need to address the environmental impacts of products across their life cycle is becoming increasingly important. The growing concern over major environmental issues such as climate change, destruction of habitat and depletion of resources is driving many countries to put legislation in place to ensure manufacturers address adverse life cycle environmental impacts of their products and take design steps to reduce these impacts by carrying out eco design. There is also increasing pressure on manufacturers from the market place to address these issues as the expectation for greener products grows. Companies already carrying out eco design are realising other benefits such as lower manufacturing costs and improved competitiveness.
