Envirowise can help you reduce your costs and environmental impacts through Cleaner Design. Explore the Lifecycle diagram below to find out how.

• The environmental impact of any product and its packaging is decided upon in the design stage. Large Companies such as Nike, Coca Cola and Electrolux have benefited from using cleaner design principles for their products and packaging so you could benefit too.
• Cleaner Design is a way of thinking about design which takes into account the environmental impact of a product or packaging across its entire existence, from Raw Materials, Manufacture, Retail, Use and End of Life. This approach is known as life cycle thinking and can be used to reduce environmental impacts as well as costs for businesses.
