 What is Eco-design? DV Launches Sustainable Design ResourceAs we strive to achieve a sustainable and responsible world, two things are certain.The first is that the way we perceive, use, produce and dispose of what we consume is paramount. The second is that designers have a leading role in influencing change. Design Victoria is sowing the seeds to sustainable design with What is Eco-design? - a practical, online How to Kit for industrial, graphic, fashion and textile designers. Developed by Design Victoria, What is Eco-design? was officially launched at DesignEX - D4S Design for Sustainability. What is Eco-design? provides solid grounding in eco-design principles and practice, making it the ideal starting place for designers interested in exploring and practising environmentally sustainable design. Design Victoria engaged Centre for Design at RMIT University and consulted WSP Environmental and leading industry experts in the development of the kit. "Eco-design delivers professional outcomes with a reduced impact on the environment. It considers and addresses potential environmental impacts throughout the design process, without compromising functionality, aesthetics, quality, reliability or unnecessarily increasing costs," said Michele Azzopardi, Director, Design Victoria. What is Eco-design? inspires and empowers designers to work towards more sustainable design practices. more What is Eco-design?
