Green 2

Front 1

Durability rather than immortality

Back 1

Targeted durability, not immortality, should be a design goal

Front 2

CHP

Back 2

Maximize mass, energy, space, and time efficiency
Renewable rather than depleting
Integrate Material and Energy Flows

Front 3

Power from fusion instead of fossil fuels

Back 3

Prevention instead of treatment

Front 4

Polymers can be used to control
the solubility of substrates, ligands, and catalysts
for reuse

Back 4

Design for separation

Front 5

Powder coatings instead of paints
Digital information rather than printed media

Back 5

Maximize mass,energy,space,and time efficiency

Front 6

High complexity corresponds to ___
while substances of minimal
complexity are favored for ___

Back 6

Reuse
Recycle

Front 7

Silicon computer chips have a significant level of complexity invested in them, therefore,

Back 7

May not be efficient to recycle a silicon chip in order to recover the value of the starting materials

Front 8

Environmental problems ranging from solid waste disposal to persistence and bioaccumulation

Back 8

Durability rather than Immortality

Front 9

Single-use disposable diapers

Back 9

Durability rather than immortality
Materials, including nonbiodegradable polymers,
represent the single largest nonrecyclable fraction
of municipal solid waste

Front 10

The tendency to design an eternal, global solution
(e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, PCBs) should be minimized
to reduce unnecessary resource expenditures.

Back 10

Meet need, minimize excess

Front 11

“One-pot” or cascading reactions

Back 11

Minimize material diversity

Front 12

By taking advantage of existing energy and material
flows, the need to generate energy and/or acquire
and process raw materials is minimized

Back 12

Integrate local material and energy flows

Front 13

Components that are technologically or
stylistically obsolete
remain functional and valuable and can be recovered for
reuse and/or reconfiguration

Back 13

Design for commercial afterlife
