Project Abstract
We project that the life of the product will be extended by between 50% and 100% and this will be quantified into materials savings.Savings in energy of 10%, equates to saving 46,473kWh per annum plus associated cost Waste reduction of 10%, equates to 10 tonnes of waste metal per annum? Material saving of 10%, equates to 59 tonnes of metal and 506 litres of paint per annum? Reduction of VOC emissions by 33% if high solid paints are used, equates to cut in VOC emissions by 802kgs? Eco-design principles can be applied to all aspects of produc
