1. CHAPTER – II
ECO - DESIGN
INTRODUCTION OF ECO - DESIGN.
Eco-design is at the crossroads between
ecology and design. Also called ecology design,
it is a concept that appeared in France in the
2000s. It brings together two aspects of our
modernity: nature and culture.

such as:
Raw material extraction and supply
Manufacturing
Product distribution
Consumer use
End of life (recovery, recycling and Disposal)
12. DESIGN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Design for the Environment (DFE) is a
design approach to reduce the overall human
health and environmental impact of a
product, process or service, where impacts are
considered across its life cycle. The program
provides information regarding safer chemical
formulations for cleaning and other products.

PRODUCT ECO - DESIGN
The eco-design of upstream suppliers can reduce the
environmental impact from the production process for
downstream customers by focusing on dematerialization,
detoxification, and decarbonization processes that culminate into
4Rs (reduction, redesign, reuse, and remanufacture).
Dematerialization: it refers to industries’ attempt to reduce
materials or time needed to produce and deliver products/services
required by the customers.
21. Detoxification: it is the reduction of poisonous and hazardous
materials contained in industrial waste during processing of
natural raw materials in industries to produce products/services.
The poisonous materials which are in the form of industrial waste
and pollution contaminate in the environment. The degradation of
the environment threatens the living condition of the organisms in
the ecosystem.
Decarbonization (de-energization): it is the reduction of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the atmosphere that occur
when burning fossil fuels for electricity generation. The most
abundant GHG is carbon dioxide that has been proven by
environmental scientists to be a contributor to the global
phenomenon of climate or global warming.
