Sustainability is today's buzzword in design.The green market is expanding 1 rapidly and eco-friendly design is helping companies to stand out from the competition. Green designers - a new breed of environmentally conscious engineers and architects - are rethinking entire product life cycles, from the industrial manufacturing processes, to what happens at the end of the life of the product.
