A design philosophy that aims to eliminate waste from the production, use and disposal of a product. Its focus is on products which are to be made again

# data[].attributes.body
Cradle to grave design considers the environmental effects of a product all of the way from manufacture, distribution, to use to disposal.

Clean technology focuses on minimising waste and pollution produced in the production process. This can be influenced by implementing radical or incremental development of a production system. Furthermore these technologies are used to reduce or eliminate negative ecological impact, improve the productive and responsible use of natural resources, and provide superior performance of the production process at a lower cost.

# data[].attributes.body
Radical development refers to creating a completely new product, service, or process that significantly disrupts the existing market by introducing a fundamentally different approach.

# data[].attributes.body
Incremental development focuses on gradually implementing new solutions to an existing production process to reduce waste and pollution. This helps make the change more manageable over time.

Designing for efficiency; EVs are designed to minimize energy waste. Features like regenerative braking, capture energy that would typically be lost during braking, converting it back into usable energy to recharge the battery. This enhances the overall efficiency.

The use of lightweight materials, such as aluminium or carbon fiber, is crucial. A lighter vehicle requires less energy to move, which improves battery effciency and overall performance.

Example: Imagine placing a 15- mpg SUV with a 50 mpg hybrid car. Over 10,000 miles, this switch saves approximately 400 gallons of fuel, reducing both costs and environmental impact.

Batteries; EVs primarily rely on lithium-ion batteries, due to their high energy density and efficiency. Those batteries store energy that powers the vehicles and are critical for balancing supply and demand during the operation.

Although, with some limitations, while some batteries are essential, they come with challenges such as high costs, environmental impacts from material extraction, and degradation over time, which affects their capacity.

# data[].attributes.body
The efficiency of EVs is also influenced by the availability and efficiency of charging stations. Innovations in energy distribution, such as high voltage direct current systems, can reduce transmissions looses when charging EVs from the grid.

Many EV owners are increasingly using renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, to charge their vehicles. This is not only reduces reliance on fossil fuels but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint

Renewable sources: A natural resource that can replenish with the passage of time

Non renewable sources: A source that will run out if the rate of extraction is not maintained, A natural resource that does not replenish at a sustainable rate

Resource Reserves: A natural resource that has been identified in terms of quantity and quality

Renewability: Relates to a resource that can be replenished over time or is inexhaustible

Green design integrates environmental considerations into designing of a product while not compromising its integrity.

AIMS :To improve an existing product by redesigning aspects of it to address environmental objectives. Ensuring a sustainable future for all

Term: This is reusing a product in the same context or in a different context.

Reusing is utilising an object more than one time.

This takes into account of conventional reuse where the object is used again for similar purpose, and new-life reuse where it is used for an innovative purpose.

An example of reusing is using disposable plastic or glass bottles to drink water from over again.

Term: Recycling refers to using the materials from obsolete products to create other products.

Recycling consists of processing used materials into novel products in order to avert squandering potentially functional materials.

It decreases the consumption of unsullied raw resources, trims down energy usage, lowering air and water pollution by dropping the need for “usual” waste discarding, and lastly lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

An example of recycling is recycled paper.

Term: Reconditioning is rebuilding a product so that it is in an “as new” condition, by repairing it, cleaning it, or replacing parts.

Contexts include car engines, tyres or refurbished electronics.

Green design focuses on re - engineering to reduce environmental impact. The focus is on making change.

Green design includes short term projects, small changes, and low risk projects.

Contrastingly, Eco design is of great complexity, has a longer time frame and is high risk

Consideration the relationship between product and environment

Green design refers products having a reduced effect on the environment for the entire life cycle.

MINIMISING:

Minimising environmental impacts within the

Material extraction

Manufacturing

Disposal

# data[].attributes.body
Reduce

limit how much you consume of disposal products. e.g. choosing a metal straw over a single use plastic straw

Dematerialisation

reduce amount of materials and energy in the product/service. improving efficiency e.g. using one type of material for a product. One-body hotel toothbrushes.

# data[].attributes.body
Incremental

Materials: Switching to a more sustainable, recyclable, environmentally friendly material

Manufacturing Process: Switching to a more sustainable process using less energy and generating less waste

Energy: Increasing energy efficiency

Engineering: designing a product to be easily dismantled

Radical

A complete change to the manufacturing process

Result is a completely new product or service meeting the needs of the user in a unique way.
