Sustainability whose responsibility is it anyway? D i ? M f ? h C ?

• The DESIGNER has a responsibility to design products using sustainable materials and components. Th MUST l id h th i t b d d h t th i t b

Designer? Manufacturer? or the Consumer?

• They MUST also consider how they are going to be made and what they are going to be made from.

• Products SHOULD also be designed so that if parts break they can be easily replaced. How the product is disposed of should also be considered.

• Can parts be recycled easily?

• If products are DESIGNED and MANUFACTURED well, built to last and cheap to fix or REPAIR, they are also known as sustainable products.

• Sometimes the MANUFACTURER has to spend more money to make products from recycled materials.

• What DESIGNERS and MANUFACTURERS need to do is design and make products so that the disposal of a product is delayed as long as possible. This is known as PRECYLCING.

• We the CONSUMER decide when to replace or stop using a product.• As CONSUMERS we need to make decisions to buy or replace products we use. TechnologyAs CONSUMERS we need to make decisions to buy or replace products we use. Technology

and fashion trends also dictate a product’s life span. • FINALLY IT’S ABOUT PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT.
