I would like to mention 2 recent articles posted on metropolismag.com related to the green trend.
The first one, “What it means to be green” explains all the different labels actually used to certify “green products”. The second article, “7 Steps in the lifecycle of a green product” is based on the Okala guide to Eco-Design elaborated by IDSA. What is interesting about the article is that it organizes the story of a greener product around … 7 steps (yes you guessed right). The image seen below, (by Criswell Lappin) is a very effective visual guide that we could have at hand to ask the right questions when designing our next product.
