Summary |
This booklet explores Design for Environment (DfE) and how it can improve your organisation's financial, operational and marketing activities. It has been designed to help managers, designers, engineers, accountants and marketeers in organisations of all sizes initiate a DfE program. Further, it links with a series of other booklets, including the Framework for Public Environment Reporting, which Environment Australia has produced to help Australian industry continue to improve its environmental performance. DfE, sometimes called ecodesign, is an approach that encourages businesses to give greater thought to the design of products so as to minimise their environmental impacts, while increasing market advantage and fostering innovation. The principles of DfE are simple and implementing a DfE program is achievable for businesses of all sizes |
