Sustainable


The intention of sustainable design is to "eliminate negative environmental impact through skillful design". Sustainably designed products generally use low-impact materials and may cover such criteria as: avoiding non-renewable resources, impact the environment minimally, prevent generation of excess waste and may also be designed for reuse or recycling.

Sustainable products can also highlight energy efficiency, product carbon footprint, avoid damage to ecosystems and loss of biodiversity or depletion of natural resources.
