节约型设计之辨

Understanding the Economical Design

节约型设计是基于构建节约型社会的环境而提出的,但在实践中容易产生种种不同的认识,有些认识存在着误区,与真正的节约型设计可能存在很大差距甚至相左的观念,比如认为节约型设计就是单一产品的原材料减量,节约型设计应该尽量使用低价材料,或者以降低成本为节约型设计的单一目标等等。实际上,节约型设计所提倡的,更应该是从循环经济模式的角度实现资源、能源最优化的设计;对企业、消费者、社会和环境都具有责任感的设计;对消费者的实际需求、使用环境有着周密考虑的设计;是真正能为实现节约型社会发挥各方面作用的设计。

The Economical Design is a conception coming from the construction of the Economical Society.When it’s put into using in the real word,some misunderstandings may happen.For example,someone probably looks it as the same idea of saving raw materials or using cheaper materials as substitutes in every product,or simply thinks the Economical Design as a way to get low-cost products.Actually,the Economical Design,means to realize resource optimization,not just for the single product,but for the overall Circular Economy system;to be the responsible design;to be the considerate design for the corporation,the consumer,the society and the enviroment.All in all,the Economical Design can be a functional part for constructing Economical Society.
