Eco-design

Grasp the definition from wiki: an approach to design of a product with special consideration for the environmental impacts of the product during its whole lifecycle. In a life cycle assessment the life cycle of a product is usually divided into procurement, manufacture, use and disposal.

Environmental aspects which ought to be analysed for every stage of the life cycle are:

         Consumption of resources (energy, materials, water or land area)

         Miscellaneous (e.g. noise and vibration)

         Emissions to air, water, and the ground as being relevant for the environment
