Design for Environment (DfE)

Design for Environment (DfE) is a general concept that refers to a variety of design approaches that attempt to reduce the overall environmental impact of a product, process or service, where environmental impacts are considered across its life cycle. There are three main concepts that fall under the Design for Environment umbrella:

• Design for environmental processing and manufacturing: This ensures that raw material, processing (processing reusable materials ), manufacturing are done using materials and processes which are not dangerous to the environment
  
• Design for environmental packaging: This ensures that the materials used in packaging are environmentally friendly and efficient use of materials a.
• Design for disposal or reuse: The [End-of-life (product)end-of-life] of a product is very important, because some products emit dangerous chemicals into the air, ground and water after they are disposed of in a landfill. Planning for the reuse or refurbishing of a product will change the types of materials that would be used, how they could later be disassembled and reused, and the environmental impacts such materials have.

The purpose of posting this blog is to share some of my interesting recycled & reused (R&R) ideas and concepts.To make sure we can recycled, refurbished and reused those disposed items,most importantly to achieve the DfE concept.
