Design cleaner products
If you’re a manufacturer based in the North East of England, Envirowise can help you design your products so that they’re more environmentally friendly, throughout their lifecycle.
Could you do more to make your products environmentally friendly? Questions to ask include the following:
- To what extent can we use recycled materials?
- What would it take to manufacture with fewer resources?
- How could we make it easier to recycle products at the end of their lifecycle?
Clean design is about ‘designing out’ waste and ‘designing in’ benefits to the environment. Cleaner design can help save you money and give your product an additional Unique Selling Point.
