sustainable design
(also referred to as " green design", " eco-design", or " design for environment") is the art of designing physical objects, the built environment and services to comply with the principles of economic, social, and ecological sustainability. It ranges from the microcosm of designing small objects for everyday use, through to the macrocosm of designing buildings, cities, and the earth's physical surface. It is a growing trend within the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, urban planning, engineering, graphic design, industrial design, interior design and fashion design

Eco-design of products
Eco-design is a process that consists of taking environmental aspects into account when designing or improving a product. This concept is based on the following principle: all products have environmental impacts at various stages in their life cycle. The purpose of eco-design is to reduce these impacts while maintaining the user quality of the product.
The eco-design of a product involves incorporating environmental aspects in the product development process. This involves various stages:
- Manufacture with materials, components and production processes
- Distribution with packaging and logistics
- Use with energy consumption, servicing and maintenance
- End of life.

Экологическое проектирование изделий
Экологическое проектирование представляет собой процессе разработки или усовершенствования изделия при выполнении которого учитываются различные экологические аспекты. Смысл данной концепции состоит в том, что изделия воздействуют на окружающую среду на всех этапах своего жизненного цикла. Цель экологического проектирования заключается в снижении этого воздействия при сохранении потребительских качеств изделия.
Экологическое проектирование предполагает, что в процессе разработки изделия учитываются экологические аспекты для всех этапов жизненного цикла, к которым относятся:
- изготовление с учетом характеристик используемых материалов, компонентов и технологических процессов;
- дистрибуция товаров в соответствующей упаковке и надлежащая логистика;
- эксплуатация, сопровождающаяся потреблением энергии, операциями технического обслуживания и ухода;
- вывод изделия из эксплуатации.
