The application of eco-design principles allows Mobility
Solutions to systematically address the immediate and longterm
environmental impacts of hardware products. Eco-design
principles sporadically existed in Mobility Solutions, but
through the PBEMS this is the first time they have been fully
aligned with other design principles and consistently implemented
during product realization. Through OneDFE, ecodesign
concepts are used to facilitate product innovations
that will meet or exceed cost and performance objectives while
reducing resource depletion and waste. The purpose of
OneDFE is to help developers consider environmental concerns
associated with hardware products throughout their
lifecycle, from raw materials extraction through end-of-life
handling and disposal.
