2.5 Green design
Green vs Eco-design:
Green Design; Focuses on the re-engineering of a design to reduce its environmental impact and increase its sustainability. Short timescale, incremental changes, low risk
Eco-Design; More complex approach to sustainability. Considers the entire lifecycle of the product and its impacts. Long timescale, high risk
Cradle to Cradle Design: An approach to consider and design for the entire lifecycle of the products. It applies design strategies that minimize the environmental impact of the design from its manufacture to end of life
Life Cycle Analysis: Analyzing the environmental impact of a design, its course of manufacture, use and disposal. Used to help manufacturers understand the impact of their designs.
Strategies:
Incremental Changes: Small changes in the design such as material, manufacturing process, energy efficiency, and the engineering of the product
Radical Changes: Completely changing the manufacturing process and the product.

clean technology aims to reduce waste/ pollution from production processes through radical or incremental development of a production system.
there are two types incremental solutions and radical solutions. incremental is minimal changes for eg a iPhone every-year has a new phone with small changes that are better than the old for eg the camera, it got more zoom, it has colors etc. however radical is an extreme change without steps for eg eye glasses to lenses it provides a solution without innovating an existing one.

Eco design
-
-
Focus is on the re-engineering of a design to reduce it's environmental impact and increase its sustainability. Green design focuses on making changes that are typically incremental in nature: switching to a recyclable material, reducing energy in manufacturing or use, increasing durability of the product. Green Design typically focuses on one or two environmental objectives, such as switching to sustainable materials or reducing energy usage.
