Cradle to Cradle for End-user Computing Devices in Business
نویسندگان
چکیده
Whilst computers can and do contribute significantly to improving our use of sustainable materials and practices, computers themselves are responsible for the consumption of large amounts of such resources, contributing extensively to hazardous waste. The aim of this study is to develop a model for organisations to collect data regarding their end-user device implementation and identify areas for improving their performance and their sustainability in line with current Green Computing (IT) trends.

متن کاملExploring the Feasibility of Cradle to Cradle (Product) Design: Perspectives from New Zealand Scientists
This research project explores the feasibility of a Cradle to Cradle approach to sustainable product design in New Zealand. A framework for sustainable design was proposed by environmental chemist Michael Braungart and architect William McDonough who suggest that the current paradigm of “cradle to grave” product development is unable to provide a solution to the world’s current ecological crisi...
متن کاملManaging the Complexity of Physically Based Modelling in Virtual Reality
Physically based simulation has been used to a limited degree in virtual reality (VR) because of the performance demands imposed by the real-time requirement. Simulating complex physical models in VR is attractive as it adds a richness of detail to virtual environments which is valuable in a number of application areas. In order to successfully use physical simulation in VR it is essential to r...
متن کاملA Fair Accord: Cradle to Cradle as a Design Theory Measured against John Rawls’ Theory of Justice and Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperative
This essay explores a specific aspect of the role of attitude in design. The design of the built environment requires us constantly to make aesthetic and ethical judgments; every design decision has to be satisfactorily justified. Surprisingly perhaps, this requires a clear concept of justice against which a design can be grounded. Aesthetic concerns about quality spill into ethical concerns ab...
