Design for the Environment (DfE)

Design for the Environment (DfE) is a philosophy and approach that encourages creating products with their entire life cycle in mind—making them safer, more sustainable, and less harmful to the environment. This involves selecting eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and designing for easier recycling or disposal. The goal is to minimize negative environmental impacts without sacrificing product performance or quality. Overall, DfE aims to foster innovation that benefits both consumers and the planet, promoting responsible manufacturing and consumption practices.
