Each chapter has been authored by one or more leading experts. Based on their own research and design experience, these experts provide a suite of tools and best practices for planning and implementing environmentally friendly designs that meet regulations. Moreover, you learn how to satisfy business objectives, such as minimizing cost and maximizing design utility, while meeting environmental objectives at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapters include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign for Environment (DfE) strategies, practices, guidelines, methods, and tools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProduct Design for Sustainability: A New Assessment Methodology and Case Studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLife Cycle Design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReverse Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign for Reliability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign for Maintainability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReuse and Recycling Technologies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign for Remanufacturing Processes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaterials Selection for Green Design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmploying TQM in Environmentally Conscious Design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout the volume, examples and case studies serve as blueprints, demonstrating how designs are devised and executed.
