Designing a material or product whilst considering environmental sustainability.
[value]
Designing a material or product whilst considering environmental sustainability. A product’s environmental impact can be reduced through material and production process selection, typically relating to resource consumption or pollution.
e.g. The carpet is made from upcycled materials that have been naturally dyed and reassembled therefore it is considered an eco-design due to its low environmental impact.

Post-consumer Material
Post-consumer material is waste generated once a product has reached the end of its intended use.
Upcycling is the process of transforming waste materials, by-products, or unwanted products into new items of higher value, quality, or environmental benefit.
