Design for Sustainability
Home → DFS Principle 1
Ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs are inherently as non-hazardous as possible
Hazardous material should be avoided during the design, manufacturing, and use phases. If a product is designed with
hazardous material, then the design should not allow the hazardous material to be
exposed during the normal operating conditions. If the product design could not
avoid exposure of the hazardous material, then a protective gear system should be
used to shield from the exposure.
