3. How can you start integrating eco-design into your activities?
3.1 Mapping your design processes
Eco-design is defined as the integration of environmental considerations into the design process. Therefore, be sure to characterize your design process:
What are the key steps?
What data is required and what information is generated at each stage?
When, how, and who participates in decision-making processes? On what basis are these decisions made?
In light of this analysis, you will be able to determine what information you can feed into the decision-making process so that environmental considerations are taken into account from the earliest stages of design. The eco-design tools and methods presented...
