# DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY

**How sustainability can be incorporated into product development right from the start**

The question today is no longer whether, but how companies can act sustainably. This Whitepaper shows how suitable methods and software tools can be used at critical points of a Design for Sustainability (D4S) to support successful implementation in companies. In this respect, companies should use suitable tools to ensure that the appropriate sustainable product variants are selected in the early phases of product development. 

## **Why is Design for Sustainability important for development?**

A key factor for the ecological footprint is the choice of materials. It is important for companies to take a structured approach and use suitable tools. The right tools enable the collection, combination and evaluation of all sustainability-relevant information with regard to materials and they put companies in a position to consider the environmental impact of future products at a very early stage in the development process. 

### What you can expect in this Whitepaper

- why design for sustainability is becoming important for product development
- how developers can design and evaluate a large number of variants early on in the process that are both economical and sustainable
- which procedure model CADFEM follows on the way to Design for Sustainability, which is oriented step by step to the specific requirements of the customer
