SustainableMinds.com brings sustainable product design to the mainstream

Sustainable Minds™ an on-demand green product design software and information services company, has launched the first of its information services for product designers, design engineers, product managers, sustainability managers, marketers and executives committed to creating more sustainable products. SustainableMinds.com™ now features expert advice and an industry blog to promote awareness and open knowledge sharing to bring sustainable product design to mainstream product design.  “Governments, businesses and communities are demanding change.  Designers and manufacturers must start making greener products. The will is there, but the know-how is not,” says Terry Swack, CEO and co-founder of Sustainable Minds™ “Our goal is to increase awareness and deliver knowledge– not just to designers, but to all types of people who have input into product design and manufacturing decisions. The biggest shift required is to bring life cycle thinking and a whole systems approach to the beginning of the design process. Product teams need to understand the impacts of their design decisions holistically and early enough in the process so they can create a greener product from the start.” Each month, a Sustainable Minds™ expert or contributor will be featured in MCADCafe.com’s MCADWeekly (with 60,000 subscribers) providing sustainable design and manufacturing articles, updates and case studies.
