Introduction
• Design for Environment (DFE) is the method
Design for Environment
of implementing certain aspects of
environmentally friendly design to create a
sustainable product.
• Effective DFE practice maintains or
improves product quality and cost while
reducing environmental impacts.

Case Study 1
Design for environment at apple computer : a
case study of the new power Macintosh 7200.
Apple is working toward developing a greater
awareness of the environmental attributes of its
products, and channeling this awareness into the new
product development process.
Here a DFE review of Power Macintosh CPU was
conducted.
Problems -
CASE 1
High Energy Consumption
Use of Hazardous Constituents
Less Recyclability
Low material conservation
Achieved Results
PERFORMANCE
ATTRIBUTE
ASSESSMENT
Energy Conversation 1)25% less power consumption
2)Unique UI for power management
1)85% material is recyclable
Recyclability 2)95% weight of engineering
thermoplastic used is recyclable
1)Heavy metal contaminants used such as
mercury or beryllium were avoided
Hazardous Constituents
2)External plastic contains no flame
retardants
Case Study 2
Environmental Assessment for the Coffee
Maker
Assessment of the environmental impact during initial
manufacture and end-of-life disposal has been
achieved using a single figure environmental
indicator developed initially at the TNO Product
Centre . This method has been chosen because the
results are more readily understood and interpreted by
designers than the complex data developed from the
full life-cycle-analysis procedures.
Case Study 2
Factors Considered The analysis resulted in
a)Material Cycles: Exhaustion of Resources a)Reuse or remanufacture of an item results in
Energy Use. effective recovery of the MET points for both initial
material manufacture and manufacturing processes.
b)Greenhouse effect, Acidification, Smog,
Eutrophication Toxic. b)Recycling of an item results in effective recovery or
release of the MET points for initial material
c) Emissions: Ozone Depletion, Human manufacture.

Patagonia Clothing
In 1993 Patagonia became the first
company to use post-consumer
recycled materials in their products.
Patagonia Capilene fabric garments
contain 54% recycled polyester
content and are 100% recyclable through
Patagonia stake-back system.

Dunlop Recycled
Wellington Boots
Dunlop Wellington boots are made from
polyurethane, PVC, and rubber.
Dunlop developed a line of recycled
boots.
Dunlop takes back used Wellingtons from
customers. Old boots are re-ground and
re-manufactured into new boots.

the child, increasing the effective lifetime
of the chair.

Conclusion
Design for Environment (DFE) attempts
to reduce the impact of product design
upon design upon the environment of a
product or service.
It takes into account the whole life going
beyond just the use of recycled materials
or proper packaging or disposal.
