Making Sustainability part of the Design Procurement
Sustainability can often be an afterthought and applied to the finished design without consideration of the impact the design will have in assembly and during life-cycle assessment. Most stakeholders vanish after handover, and this can translate into sustainability being forgotten or ignored. As well as these concerns, methods are also needed to prevent greenwashing and bring performance into the design frame.
