13、inability is a design aspect with (necessarily) a growing importance. Unfortunately there is not one clear definition of sustainable design, however, in general sustainability is known as: “Meeting the needs of the prese

14、nt, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Nowadays most designers recognize three major aspects to be considered in their design activities:? People: systems or equipment should

15、 be such that social aspects are not violated but should be improved.? Planet: systems, equipment and processes should not damage the natural envi- ronment in which they are active. Natural resources and the ecology shou

16、ld be safeguarded.? Profit: systems and processes should focus on reasonable profits to survive and deliver services to the environment.In this respect sustainability is often characterized by four activities: Reduce, Re

17、use, Recycle and Regulate. In 1989 the World Business Council for Sustainable Devel- opment defined a new attitude: Eco-efficiency, to be achieved by the delivery of competitively priced goods and services that satisfy h

18、uman needs and bring qual- ity of life, while progressively reducing ecological impacts and resource intensity throughout the life cycle to a level at least in line with earth’s carrying capacity. Based on the above the

19、European Environmental Agency came with the follow- ing definition: Eco-efficiency is “the amount of environment used per unit of eco- nomic activity”. Manufacturers like Nokia have translated this broad definition into

20、design directives e.g.: minimized use of energy, material, toxic dispersion, extended durability (lifetime), maximized use of renewable resources and increased recycling. More recent, Braungart et al (2007) and McDonough

21、 and Braungart (2002) pre- sented their Cradle-to-Cradle design approach to be considered as eco-effectiveness. In that design approach the material intensity per service unit is irrelevant as long as the output can serv
