    Design For Environmental Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Aswinth Balaji
    Design for Environment (DFE) is a method to minimize environmental impacts of a product over its entire lifecycle from production to disposal. DFE aims to maintain or improve product quality and cost while reducing environmental footprint. It takes a closed loop approach focusing on the full lifecycle rather than just production and distribution. The document provides case studies of companies like Nike, Samsung, Ford, and Apple that have implemented DFE principles through strategies like using recycled materials, lowering carbon emissions in manufacturing, and transitioning to renewable energy sources. It emphasizes that green design is an ongoing challenge but also an opportunity for innovation.

    DESIGN FOR ENVIRONMENT

    /LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS


    What is
    Design For
    the Environment?
    • Design for the Environment (DFE) is a method to minimize or
    eliminate environmental impacts of a product over its life cycle.
    • Effective DFE practice maintains or improves product quality and cost
    while reducing environmental impacts.
    • DFE expands the traditional manufacturer’s focus on the production
    and distribution of its products to a closed loop lifecycle.
    Product
    Life Cycle
    CASE STUDY: NIKE
    CASE STUDY : SAMSUNG’S RECLAIM MOBILE PHONE
    CASE STUDY: FORD SMARTGAUGE WITH ECO-GUIDE
    CASE STUDY: APPLE
    • Usage of 100% recycled tin in the solder of the main logic boards in most
    popular devices.

    • Using low carbon materials and processors to reduce the overall carbon
    footprint of its products around the world

    • Goal: Products to be made entirely with clean energy by 2030 by


    transitioning hundreds of it’s manufacturing suppliers to 100% renewable
    sources of electricity.
    A final message on green design..
    This is hard,
    This is important,
    This is our responsibility,
    This is a great opportunity…
