What is Eco-design?
Ecological design or Eco-design is an approach to designing products and services with special consideration for the environmental impacts of the product during its whole lifecycle. The main goal of eco-design is to anticipate and minimize negative environmental impacts (of manufacturing, using and disposing of products). Simultaneously, eco design also keeps a product’s quality level according to its ideal usage.
The principles of eco design where formally published in 2002 and they can be found in ISO/TR14062.
