Eco-Designing for Sustainability

Abstract

Concept of sustainable development (SD) has forced the society and many industries to rethink about the way of development as environmental degradation is the global problem. Higher environmental degradation leads to depletion of resources, causes environmental pollutions, reduces the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and overall has its impact on sustainability. In every sector green approach is the requirement for sustenance of human civilization. Green designing, eco-labelling, green marketing, green consumerism are the essential requirement for addressing sustainability through eco-designing. Adopting eco-designing would generate CSR, green consumerism, energy intensive behaviour, green growth and would lead to formulation of suitable policies for SD. It would also help to reduce environmental footprint, address social and economical aspects of sustainability, promote sustainable management policies in various developmental sectors as well as combat the mega event of climate change. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.
