520 _a"If you're concerned about the impact of your company's products or processes on the environment, this book will introduce you to an emerging business practice called Design for Environment (DfE), which enables industrial organizations to increase their profitability and benefit the global environment as well." "This landmark guide shows you how DfE can provide a highly effective, life-cycle approach to new product and process development that takes into account the environment, human health, and safety. This approach considers the "cradle to grave" costs and benefits associated with the material acquisition, manufacture, use, disposal, and recovery of products." "You'll find many concrete techniques, guidelines, and examples that can be used to help educate product development teams about the practical aspects of DfE. Also included are valuable case studies from AT & T, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Pacific Gas & Electric, ARCO, Baxter Healthcare, Coors, Dow Chemical, and other companies that have adopted DfE practices." "An essential working tool for executives, managers, and engineers in a wide range of industries, this new book clearly explains how your company can develop successful, eco-efficient products and processes for the 1990s and beyond!"--Jacket.
