1. Eco-Design

2. Production with destruction For several decades, consumer society has focused on profit , producing and consuming more and more. As a consequence natural resources are overexplored, the air and water polluted, plant and animal species have disappeared, and waste proliferates.

3. Production without Destruction Breaking this chain means taking urgent action to “produce more with less.”, limiting waste and avoiding excess and pollution. Some companies have already adopted this approach and have taken sustainable development onboard in their strategies. It has become a political issue too.

4. Stages of an ecodesign product - The extraction of the raw materials (renewable biodegradable materials are better options); - The manufacturing of the product; - Its marketing and distribution; - The use; - And the disposal of a product.

7. “ Eco-Design aims at advancing prosperity while reducing enviroment spending. ”
