The eco design refers to something small, the design for the ecology to that small-scale product that aims to become mass-production, design that thrills, but in practice the same eco designer and buy it.
The design must be integral should consider all areas where it interferes.
Good design takes into account the nature, people and it is real and should be taken into account the economy, in the broadest sense of the concept.
While this is a theoretical way of looking at good design, the fact is that there are communities that practice good design for hundreds of years and do not take into account the theory, just do it because, for them, is the only way to go.
According to Cradle to Cradle approach we have three major fields of action, social , the ecology and economy . After the relationship between these fields arises ecosocial design, the focus ecolomico and work based on fair trade .
Social :
social field is concerned, that our product will be manufactured, used and recycled by people.
therefore should be safe for health workers and users.
should take into account the production processes and so respect the lifestyle of those who make them.
For example, today there are a lot of toxic products to users. Products containing lead, such as boilers, ceramic dishes, and toys. (Usually of Chinese origin)
There is also research that reveal the dangers of plastic bottles and PET bottles because of the use of antimony for a more efficient DESMOL produces birth defects (with continued use over a long period)
Ecology:
natural field, refers to the impact of the product in nature, not only at the time of disposal, but during use, transportation and manufacturing. At the same time must consider the nature as a resource for production, but the product as a resource for nature, ie if the product returns to nature must be a nutrient for it.
By way of example should be borne in mind that a monoculture is not sustainable fast-growing wood where it had previously installed a jungle, because without the forest, the imbalances that affect us reach our long-term. Sustainability is the use of wood so that the forest stays there.
Economy:
The field of economics is the most controversial and the field where it should be more careful.
Because it means to take advantage of nature to create capital, and relates to the ecology as an argument to create more sales.
refers to the elimination of the concept of discarding, the optimization process, the utilization of natural flows, etc.
however projects must be economically sustainable or at least to remain viable over time.
Keep in mind that a small change in mass is more than a great change particular. Many organic products are positioned as exclusive end, and little, well, its impact on the environment. This does not mean you should make large-scale centralized production, the designs may be suitable for social technologies, ie that can be produced locally and available resources.
The elimination of the concept of culling and efficient use of the products maintain the active exchange without the need for new production and resource extraction that means.
The economy is growing with the exchange of goods, not necessarily with new production.
as Petz said in a previous post "if we look at the etymology of words, the eco-lodge is a home study (nature) the economy is the household management."
