Abstract
This paper attempts to give a brief overview of the concept of design for environment (DfE) as part of the concurrent engineering philosophy. DfE includes designing for recyclability, reuseability, durability, and maintainability. DfE also promotes the reduction of energy consumption and product emissions as a means of environmental consciousness. As part of this research into DfE, five Hunter Valley–based Australian businesses were used as case studies in an attempt to discover what role DfE plays in local Australian industry.
