OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES:

• The impact of human beings on natural systems
must not exceed the carrying capacity of nature.
• The use of renewable resources must not exceed
their rate of regeneration.
• The use of non-renewable resources must be
compensated by the production of renewable
resources, which will eventually have to replace
them.
• The emissions into the environment must not
exceed the absorptive capacity of the receivers.

LCA:

• packaging, transportation, distribution
• use stage
• end-of-life

RECYCLE

REDUCE

REUSE

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN:
