• Reduce energy consumption requirements• Reduce water consumption requirements• Use renewable energy• Recycle water• Reduce/Reuse process waste• Replace hazardous processes• Consider implementing an environmental
management system (EMS)
Opportunities – Design for Manufacturing

• Minimize product size and weight• Optimise shape and volume for maximum packing density• Reduce weight and size of packaging – avoid over packaging• Increase use of recycled materials in packaging• Use reusable/refillable/recyclable packaging• Develop local market• Give preference to shipping for international transport and rail
for domestic transport needs to reduce carbon emissions.• Combine orders to reduce transportation requirements• Engine management systems/SAFED driver training
Opportunities – Design for Distribution

Everest Ltd•Manufacturer of double-glazed windows and conservatories
•Realised that it could reduce packaging without increasing damage to its products during transit.
•Stopped using stretch-wrap around the glass frames
•The packaging supplier produced redesigned packaging made out of foam protectors at less cost
•The changes resulted in cost savings of £90,000/year due to:• reduced labour time;• reduced material costs;• reduced disposal costs.
Opportunities – Design for Distribution

• Reduce energy & water requirements, consider renewable sources of energy
• Reduce requirement for consumables• Maximise product lifetime - durable, reliable, easy to
maintain, repair & upgrade• Reduce emissions to air, water and soil during use• Educate user on efficient operation of equipment• Consider other complementary functions• Consider providing additional services• Consider selling a service rather than a product
Opportunities – Design For Use
![Page 38: EDECON Eco design for the Construction Industry Wendy Carmichael](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551bc63a550346b4588b4dd9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

• Restrict use of substances classified as hazardous • Make it easy to dismantle to enable reuse, disassembly and
recycling• Mark all materials using internationally recognised codes,
especially polymers and other recyclable materials• Avoid aspects detrimental to reuse and recycling e.g.
mixtures of materials• Educate user on correct disposal of equipment• Consider take-back systems (reduce raw material costs)
Opportunities – Design For End of 1st Life
