An Industry Vision how to move EcoDesign (Design for Environment) forward in China

摘要：

This paper demonstrates that EcoDesign (Design for Environment) in China can be moved forward through four avenues: 1. Developing and implementing a university and industry teaching curriculum. The fundamentals are already in place through experiences elsewhere in the world. 2. Performing pilot projects on Environmental Benchmarking of products. This Benchmarking is the basis for design creativity. 3. Working on green supply chain management. Suppliers can have a substantial impact on decreasing the environmental load of products over the life cycle in general. 4. Supporting EcoDesign by appropriate legislation. Compared to the situation in Europe, China can substantially improve by paying more and well-integrated attention to 5. different environmental dimensions (emissions, resources, potential toxicity) 6. proper definitions and target setting 7. operationalization and enforcement aspects.
