Sustainability Consulting: The concept of sustainability is defined in terms of the ability of a system to endure indefinitely. The objective of Sustainable Product Design (SPD) is to optimize the impact of the product within the system it operates. SPD accounts for the environmental, financial, and social impacts and attempts to maximize product value while minimizing environmental strain.
