GG296 Cleaner Product Design: A Practical Approach
First published September 2001.
This Good Practice Guide provides a practical introduction to cleaner product design for medium-sized companies. It explains the drivers for cleaner design, what is cleaner design, the benefits of cleaner design and how to implement cleaner design. The Guide includes a dismantling exercise using a standard household item such as a kettle or an iron to highlight the benefits of disassembly and redesign - one possible approach to cleaner design. The material in the Guide is repeated in a Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation for use by business support organisations or companies wishing to run a workshop on cleaner product design. These slides are also available for download below. Practical advice for organisers on how to run such a workshop is provided in the Guide. If you have problems downloading the PowerPoint file, please contact the Environmental and Energy Advice Line and ask to be sent the file on CD-ROM.
