Part 1: Concepts and context -- Sustainability and design in context -- Part 2: Strategies, tools and approaches -- Environmentally led strategies -- Socially led strategies --Economically led strategies -- Part 3: In practice -- Short-use products: packaging, consumables and disposables -- Electronic tools and digital gateways -- Furniture and space related products --Transportation and mobility: products and services.

Summary: "Whether it is the effects of climate change, the avalanche of electronic and plastic waste or the substandard living and working conditions of billions of our fellow global citizens, our ability to deal with unsustainability will define the twenty-first century. Given that most consumption is mediated through products and services, the critical question for designers is: How can we radically reshape these into tools for sustainable living?　 As a guide and reference text, Product Design and Sustainability provides design students, practitioners and educators with the breadth and depth needed to integrate the most appropriate sustainable strategies into their practice. It establishes the principles that underpin sustainability and introduces a diverse range of social, economic and environmental design responses and tools available to designers. The numerous real-world examples illustrate how these strategies play out in different product sectors and reinforce the view that sustainability is the most positive opportunity and creative challenge facing designers today."--Back cover
