DTI/DEFRA guide to sustainable design of electrical and electronic products
In 2002 ENVIRON Principal Dr Aidan Turnbull wrote a short introductory Guide to Sustainable Design of Electrical and Electronic Products, which was published by DTI and DEFRA through the Government Agency Envirowise.
The Guide was endorsed by:
- Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
- Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE)
- INTELLECT (the largest electronics trade association in the UK)
In addition to outlining the regulatory requirements, this Guide highlights the wider business threats and opportunities, and the tangible cost savings and business benefits that companies can achieve through sustainable product design
Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE)
Designers and engineers are in an ideal position to ensure that sustainable design is applied at the concept stage. This Guide is written specifically to facilitate the upstream design decisions that are critical to the generation of economically, environmentally and socially sustainable patterns of production and consumption
