Design for Environmental Sustainability provides a comprehensive framework and a 

practical tool to support the design process. The book offers an organic vision 

of methodologies, tools and strategies for the integration of environmental 

requirements into product development. Possible strategies and design guidelines 

are highlighted, accompanied by a large selection of high-quality 

environmentally-aware product design case studies.



Divided into four parts, the first part covers environmental sustainability and 

presents the general guidelines that can be followed to reach it. The second 

part examines the Life Cycle Design approach and the strategies to minimise 

consumption of resources, select low environmental impact resources, optimise 

product life span, extend the life of materials, and design for disassembly. The 

third part presents methods and tools to evaluate the environmental impact of 

products (e.g., Life Cycle Assessment) and other support tools for the 

integration of environmental requirements into real design processes. The fourth 

and final part describes the historical evolution of sustainability, both in 

design practice and research.
