Exploring life cycle assessment and eco-design for young
design students.
Charlwood Design was the first Australian design studio to join the
Designers Accord which rallies for the integration of sustainable design
principles in all practice and production. Paul Charlwood drew on this model
when he established the Design for the Environment Partnership between the
Design Institute of Australia , Sustainability Victoria and RMIT’s Centre for
Design. This partnership led to the software tool Greenfly to assist designers
with eco-design strategies and the environmental impact of their products.
