Design for Sustainability is our gold-standard design approach that keeps sustainability at the forefront of each stage of the product life cycle to minimize environmental and health impact, and simultaneously improve product performance.
DfS is comprised of three components: Development, Consulting, and Re-engineering.
Throughout the Product Development Process (PDP), DfS-Development ensures a comprehensive focus on sustainability when developing and engineering products.
With DfS-Consulting, we focus on sharing our expertise and experience with customers, collaborating on ways to apply green chemistry design thinking to their own research and operations approaches.
Our Re-engineering component leverages our industry-first framework based on our DOZN™ Quantitative Green Chemistry Evaluator and the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry to identify what is "greener" about our re-engineered Greener Alternative Products, and provide cutting-edge greener products and tools to more than 1 million customers around the world.
Our DfS scorecard quantifies sustainability improvements in our products. We evaluate products against our product sustainability criteria that were defined in order to cover the main sources of impact on human health and the environment and were grouped in seven impact categories. Assessed through a stand-alone characteristic or through a comparison with a baseline product, they form the basis for assessing the sustainability characteristics of our new products.
