EcoDesignProduct Design for Sustainability
EcoDesign is to -balance benefits with
corresponding environmental impact
EcoDesign is to - trade off product properties
e.g. with this ten overarching Golden Rules
Material Hygiene is to - in every step of the
product life cycle to act towards larger amounts
and increased purity of useful material from
recycling, possible to use on the same quality
level as before or degraded as little as possible.

• Material Hygiene is to
• Use as few materials as possible
• Keep the material fractions apart as much
  as possible
• Label each major fraction in the product
• List all factions by type, amount and
  position.
• Outline the boundaries of major fraction
• Arrange separating points for important
  material modules
• Find a good reason for adding still another
  material
