Drive Growth and Innovation with Sustainable Design Manufacturers that effectively adopt sustainable design practices will position themselves to successfully respond to increasing consumer demand for “greener” products. They also will spark innovation in product development, control energy and material costs, and grow revenues. Yet, implementing a sustainable design strategy can be challenging because of misconceptions about costs versus benefits, as well as questions about how to effectively implement sustainable design. You can facilitate the implementation of sustainable design by using product life cycle information to leverage sustainability as a competitive advantage. |
