The strategies of sustainable design for a better product design future

Abstract EN

The demand for a responsible design, is increasing rapidly, and it’s becoming the face of future designs, known as Sustainable Design.

Sustainable Product Design aims to reach the goal of more environmentally conscious products and processes.

Practicing SPD should involve a particular framework for considering environmental issues.

(SPD) has received growing attention on various levels, among stakeholders of industry and design.

The challenges that the designers must face are increasing as sustainable Designers have to stand for the notion of “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.

Thus, they have to be aware of the elements related to SP starting from pollution to material awareness, production techniques, and the product life cycle.

In order to understand how to practice (SPD), there should be a deep understanding of the different strategies followed by different practitioners in the field.

Sitting these clearly and analyzing the circumstances related to applying them will make it easier for strategies PD to practice SPD.

Practicing SD is a big issue and, the PD needs to decide what kind of strategy, he should follow, and to understand what to target in the product life cycle in order to reach his goals.

The research aims to study& analyze some of the SPD strategies and prepare them as a reference for other product designers, through analyzing facts related to each strategy and the circumstances related to applying them then preparing a list of SPD strategies, sitting best goals achieved by using each strategy and excluding strategies that are not directly related to PD.
