Product Ecological Design refers to the design concept of integrating environmental factors into product design, and considering the environmental impact of the entire product life cycle at the design stage, thereby helping to determine the design decision direction and reduce the environmental impact of the product through improved design to the minimal.
Product ecological design adheres to the design idea that products meet both environmental friendliness and human needs. Environment has become an important factor considered in product development, and is as important as general traditional factors (such as profit, function, beauty, environmental conditions and efficiency, corporate image and overall quality, etc.). In some specific cases, the environment is even more important than traditional value factors. Ecological design activities mainly include two aspects. One is from an environmental protection perspective, reducing resource consumption, and achieving sustainable development strategies; the other is from a commercial perspective, reducing costs and reducing potential liability risks to improve competitiveness.
