Design for Environment
Product and manufacturing companies have to comply with myriad global and regional environmental regulations (Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive for the electronics industry, European End-of-life Vehicle (ELV) directive, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, Japan's Green Procurement and Take-back programs) that directly impact how products and manufacturing processes are designed. Lack of compliance could mean lost sales and profits in certain sales regions and fines that can run into the millions. In addition, appropriate end-of-life processes (recycling, etc.) need to be designed and these costs are typically borne by the product company. With "Design for Environment (DfE)" product companies can integrate DfE into design, manufacturing and end-of-life processes that meet global and local environmental regulations.
