چکیده
The design for the environment (DfE) tools are used to include the environmental objectives into all of the company’s processes, and their suppliers and customers if possible. This paper investigates the benefits of applying DFE tools in the graphic arts industry, specifically the book production process. A present book production process in a print shop was redesigned taking into account the quality, cost and the environmental impact. The results suggest that with the proper use of the DFE tools, significant improvements can be made in all of the abovementioned aspects of the book production process, and other print production processes as the technology is generally similar.
