The “Laundry Detergent” example shows how modifying the design can conserve resources.

The packaging thus helps measuring out the right amount of laundry detergent to use. Cutting down on materials as well as using bio-based materials are further suitable approaches for using resources even better.

In this example, the three Eco Design Strategy elements “Design for Environmentally Sound Use”, “Design for Optimised Resource Use” and “Design for Sustainable Sourcing” all contribute to the effect.
