| Designers could save the world WSP Environmental has contributed to an essay featured in the newly published book, Green Design. The essay by Jenn Shreve called 'Can designers save the world', argues that designers, not consumers, could save the world. Consumer demand for eco-friendly products and environmental legislation such as the new RoHS and WEEE Directives has forced sustainable product design high onto the business agenda. The book discusses the need for products to be designed for deconstruction. This follows the 'cradle-to-cradle' methodology so that when a product has fulfilled its useful life, its material components can be re-used. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
