Abstract :
This paper discusses Ecodesign and sustainable design of products from the scientific, ethical, aesthetic and spiritual perspectives. It argues that if sustainability is to be worked towards, and if Ecodesign is to be applied to products and product manufacturing, then we must bring new considerations to the fore and include a more holistic understanding in our conceptions of products and processes
