Eco Design - Coursework Example

This report discusses the core concepts of eco design; globally accepted strategies and methods used for the implementation of eco design there some other tools and methods have developed by private organizations which are not covered in this report) with an emphasis on the most famous method Life Cycle Analysis; Environmental Assessment; and a case study of mobile phones comprising of a Life Cycle thinking, Environmental Benchmarking, information and idea relate media  ,ted to ecodesigning of mobile phones.

     Using eco designing, we form methods and strategies to develop products in a way that would lessen pollution & waste materials and decelerate the elimination of finite resources. Eliminating the undesirable consequences of industrial activities is not feasible but reducing them to some extent is inevitable at the same time. Global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, polluted rivers, and deforestation are some of the emerging problems which cannot be ignored. In these alarming circumstances, product designers can play an important role in changing mindset tonsures and their standards of life towards a life that enanthates the use of eco-efficient products.

"Eco design is the key step leading to sustainable design and responsible consumption, since it incorporates news concepts, such as the vision of product-system, the concept of life cycle and integration of all players involved focusing on the improvement of environmental aspects of products, and expands partial actions on environmental issues, such as treatment recycling ,,gantlet  ,production, and the move toward integration of financial aspects, such as efficiency , sociosoco-economic aspects, such as sustainable design.

" (Rieradevall, et. al, n.d.) Eco design is “a design which addresses all environmental impacts of a product throughout the complete lifecycle of the product, whilst aiming to enhance other criteria like function, quality, and appearance” (Spaceship Eco design, n.d.) Even if we use nuclear energy, other resources may be available for a maximum of 1400 years. But before using uranium or nuclear technology, we must prepare ourselves to tackle some of the alarming issues related to it like disproof the radioactive waste.
