"Protection of the environment is increasingly important, with issues such as global warming, pollution, depletion of natural resources, energy efficiency and energy conservation in the headlines on a daily basis. These factors need to be taken into account in all the project phases, in the use of the product and in its decommissioning and disposal."
"In designing the product and its manufacturing processes, the team needs to consider what materials will be used, how much energy is required to produce the item, how much CO2 or other greenhouse gases will be emitted, whether there are waste material disposal issues, and whether materials can be recycled, are biodegradable, or will cause pollution at the end of the product's life. In using the product, its environmental impact should be minimized in terms of energy efficiency, emissions, and waste disposal. Internal and independent external auditing processes should operate within the organization covering all issues related to health, security, safety and the environment."
