2.6: Eco-design

Eco-design:
Eco-design is a more comprehensive approach than green design because it attempts to focus on all three broad environmental categories—materials, energy and pollution/waste.

Life Cycle Analysis
An LCA is one way to assess the environmental impact of a given product over its life cycle. The stages of an LCA might include: pre production, production, distribution, utilization, disposal.
Enviromental considerations when it comes to eco design would be the effect it has on ecosystems, air contamination, energy consumption, consumption of natural resources, pollution.
Converging technologies
The synergistic merging of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information and communication technologies and cognitive science.
A typical example of converging technology is the smartphone. We can consider the smart phone as a converging technology in terms of the materials required to create it, its energy consumption, disassembly, recyclability and the portability of the devices it incorporates.
Cradle to cradle design:
Cradle to Cradle design is a key principle of the circular economy. The target of this is to develop and design products that prevent the recycling of products.
