There are many techniques for designing sustainably. Depending on product usage patterns, some are more effective than others.
Design using recycled materials or reused components
Design for disassembly
Design using the minimum number of different materials
Design using only recyclable materials
Design for the system that processes materials at end-of-life
Design for durability
Design for enduring product-user relationships
Design avoiding short-term fashions
Consider the social and economic impact of the product – without doing this, there is no point designing for sustainability
