Design for Environment (DFE) is a systematic approach to evaluate the environmental impacts of products and processes over their full life cycles. The main goals of DFE are to promote safer products and define best practices to protect human health and the environment. Key principles of DFE include improving safety, health and environmental protection, using resources wisely, and incorporating environmental considerations into product design and technical management systems. DFE takes a product life cycle perspective and utilizes integrated cross-functional development. Successful DFE implementation can provide benefits like enhanced profitability, improved corporate image, and reduced costs and regulatory impacts.

ENVIRONMENT”
( DFE )

2. DEFINITION
Systematic approach to evaluate the consequences of the
environmental impact of products and processes, and their impact
on human health and the environment (Fiksel, 1996)
A systematic consideration of design performance with respect to
environmental, health, and safety objectives, over the full product
and process life cycle (Jonathan Weaver).
to minimize the environmental-economic cost to consumers

3. 3 Main
GOALS
1. Promoting green cleaning and recognizing safer
consumer and industrial and institutional products
through safer product labeling.
2. Defining Best Practices in areas ranging from auto
refinishing to nail salon safety.
3. Identifying safer chemicals, including life cycle
considerations, through Alternatives Assessment.
Implementation
1. Identification the environmental aspect
2. Providing the society for environment management
3. Evaluation the environment

4. Characteristic
1. Natural resources are transformed into useful
goods and harmful by-products
2. Our economic system measures the efficiency of
production or “productivity” in a way that keeps
better track of the good things we produce than
the bad

5. Principles
1. Improve worker safety, public health, and
environmental health. And also improve
performance and quality of product.
2. Use resources wisely
3. Incorporating environmental consideration
into the product design, process, and
technical management system.

10. Design
Guidelines for 1. Locate unrecyclable parts in one system that
can be quickly removed.
2. Locate parts with the highest value in easily
accessible places.
3. Access and break points should be made
obvious.
4. Specify remanufactured parts.
1. Avoid regulated and restricted materials.
2. Minimize the number of different types of
materials.
3. Mark the material on all part.
4. Use recycled materials.
5. Avoid composite materials.
1. Ensure compatibility of ink where printing is
required on parts.
2. Eliminate environmentally incompatible paints
on parts.
3. Use unplanted metals that are more
recyclable than plated.
4. Use electronic part documentation.

created in 1992
The EPA Design for

To provides information
regarding safer
electronics, safer flame

chemical formulations.
EPA uses rigorous
criteria to ensure that

products are safe for
human health and the
environment.

12. Successes
Xerox Corporation is engaged in the global
document market selling equipment and providing
document solutions including hardware, services and
software world-wide. The Company's activities
encompass developing, manufacturing, marketing,
servicing and financing of a complete range of
document processing products, solutions and
services designed to make organizations around the
world more productive.
 Goal – zero materials to landfill
 Set trends to reuse, recycle and remanufacture their products
 Take accountability for products to end-of-life
 New copiers have easily removed components
 Disposable fuser rolls now made re-usable

13. Successes
Their goal is to extend product life
beyond just production, and to use
reusable and recyclable products. This
means that IBM is currently working
on creating products that can be safely
disposed of at the end of its product
life. They are also reducing
consumption of energy to minimize
their carbon footprint
 Goals – reuse, recycle, less energy
 On/off power programming
 Coding of plastic parts for
recycle
 Improved acoustic foam removal
 Recycled plastic in many product lines
 Plastic kept free of paint & label
contamination
 Upgradeable printing systems
 Powder coating of components
