“Therefore, win-win opportunities for the environment and economy can be captured through improvements which reduce pollution in production processes (Porter & van der Linde, 1999). These authors argue that competitive advantages rely on the capacity for innovation; thus, “by stimulating innovation, strict environmental regulations can actually enhance competitiveness” (Porter & van der Linde, 1995, p. 98). As the Porter Hypothesis states, properly designed environmental policies that make use of market incentives can encourage the introduction of new technologies and reduce production waste.”

Shilpa, “Sustainable” & “Ecosystem” I like this concept! I think your strategy is a necessity in a design process. Thank you for sharing and reminding.
Usually, when people think about universal design strategy, they can think about perceiving or appealing mainly, but I think they should also take an approach for this ecosystem.
Sustainable design
= Designed from the perspective of social, economic and environmental perspectives
= Designed for long-term use
Sustainable design is a design that aims to be able to use for a long time under any circumstance considering technology, function, use, materials from the planning process in a narrow scope. In a wide range, it can be said that the design includes the realization of a future social line so that humanity and society can achieve sustainable development. A representative example of sustainable design is “LifeStraw” as you already knows.
Also, I’d like to share to share sustainable package design with you.
“The Disappearing Package is a collection of five concepts, developed for my masters thesis at Pratt Institute, that all follow a basic rule: When you’re done with the product, there’s no package left to throw away. Obviously none of these solutions are perfect, but that’s not what they were meant to be. Ideas like The Disappearing Package are the beginning of a conversation—one that will hopefully end in a world without packaging waste.”

I absolutely loved the disappearing package idea! How many times have we looked ar packaging and said, “your job is done. Now, disappear!” What an amazing find. Thanks for sharing Youngri! Lifestraw is a great example as well! In fact, after I wrote this post, I found so many great examples of sustainable design. Nike’s conceptual bio-degradable sneakers for one.
