Webinar : Design Greener Product Right, From the Start
July 14, 2010
There is no such thing as a 'green' product. All products use materials and energy, and create waste. There is no explicit definition of what ‘green’ means. Industry groups and third-party certifiers are working on definitions and standards, but, as yet, there is no standardized set of metrics to qualify a product as ‘green.’ The best we can do is make products greener than the ones we make today!
This webinar discusses Ecodesign, DfS and LCA. Taking a life cycle approach, you can use multiple strategies in multiple life cycle phases to improve environmental performance. This webinar is designed for members of a project, management and consulting teams. They will to gain greater insight into how to integrate and measure ecodesign and DfS strategies.
