The 12 Principles of Green Engineering
Developed by Paul Anastas and Julie Zimmerman, the following list outlines what would make a greener process or product:
1. Inherent Rather Than Circumstantial: Designers need to strive to ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs are as inherently nonhazardous as possible.
2. Prevention Instead of Treatment: It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it is formed.
3. Design for Separation: Separation and purification operations should be designed to minimize energy consumption and materials use.
4. Maximize Efficiency: Products, processes and systems should be designed to maximize mass, energy, space and time efficiency.
5. Output-Pulled Versus Input-Pushed: Products, processes and systems should be “output pulled” rather than “input pushed” through the use of energy and materials.
6. Conserve Complexity: Embedded entropy and complexity must be viewed as an investment when making design choices on recycle, reuse, or beneficial disposition.
7. Durability Rather Than Immortality: Targeted durability, not immortality, should be a design goal.
8. Meet Need, Minimize Excess: Design for unnecessary capacity or capability (eg. “one size fits all”) solutions should be considered a design flaw.
9. Minimize Material Diversity: Material diversity in multi-component products should be minimized to promote disassembly and value retention.
10. Integrate Local Material and Energy Flows: Design of products, processes and systems must include integration and interconnectivity with available energy and material flows.
11. Design for Commercial “Afterlife”: Products, processes and systems should be designed for performance in a commercial “afterlife”.
12. Renewable Rather Than Depleting: Material and energy inputs should be renewable rather than depleting.
