Design for Sustainability

Design for Sustainability (DfS) is an approach that integrates environmental, social, and economic considerations into the product design process, aiming to minimize negative impacts throughout the product’s lifecycle. It emphasizes the use of renewable resources, energy efficiency, and waste reduction while promoting social equity and ethical practices. By prioritizing sustainability, DfS fosters innovation and resilience, ensuring that products meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
