Reduction of Environmental Impacts through Product Planning and Design
Creating environmentally conscious products (ECPs) is started from product planning with various methods. We structure the design process of ECPs and promote 3R, energy-saving, and environmental impact substances reduction of products.
Environmental Design Review
New product is confirmed with various points of view by Design Review, and regarding environmental items it is confirmed by Environmental Design Review from product planning stage.
The confirming items at Environmental Design Review are "Compliance with Environmental laws and regulations", "Environmental Assessment for Products", "Confirmation of Environmental Labels", "LCA Implementation and Factor Calculation", and "Confirmation of Environmental Design Guideline" etc. On the "Environmental Assessment for Products", new product is evaluated at points of view in Environmental Action Plan conformity, 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) promotion, energy saving, environmental impact substances reduction, and ECP Standards conformity. The Environmental Design Review is conducted at each stage of product planning, functional trial production, trial production, and pre-production. For instance, on the Environmental Design Review at product planning stage, basic environmental design specifications are reviewed, and concrete policy of compliance with environmental laws and regulations and various environmental labels are determined. In addition on the Environmental Design Review at the design stage or later, progress situation against eco-targets is confirmed. Eco-targets of new products are determined with guessed highest environmental specifications at the product release timing, based on technological trends and competitors products.
