Скачать или смотреть What is Sustainable Design?: Understanding Design

Sustainable design and development should meet the needs of people in the present without compromising the needs of future generations. According to serial entrepreneur John Elkington, organizations need to consider profit, people and the planet when thinking about new innovations.

Join Prasad Boradkar, a professor emeritus of industrial design at Arizona State University, as he explains sustainable design and how designers should consider using renewable resources to meet these goals.

In this video, you’ll learn about the entire lifecycle of products, from the initial materials to when it’s thrown back to the Earth. You’ll learn how designers strive to reduce resources, reuse products and recycle. They must consider the raw materials, manufacturing process, transportation of an object and the product life cycle, from conception to end of life. Sustainable design actions include using non-polluting materials, reducing energy consumption, reducing waste generated, minimizing transportation and designing for recyclability.
