In the past two years in my role as a sustainability advocate, I have written repeatedly on the topic of sustainability in product design. Much of the writing has occurred on this site (check out the sustainability category), but I have also written on the topic elsewhere.
Whether you are already sustainably inclined or just starting to acknowledge that sustainability is starting to matter in your industry, you should find something compelling in the articles below (in order of recommendation):
sustainable product design: one powerful principle
sustainable product design: a practical case
sustainability scorecard: Kaiser Permanente raising the bar
sustainable marketing guidelines from the FTC
