Bundespreis Ecodesign: Ecological products wanted

Logo: eco – Bundespreis ecodesign; source: http://www.bmu.de/produkte_und_umwelt/oekodesign/doc/48103.phpCan an office chair or a coffee pot save energy and resources? Indeed they can – provided they are developed according to ecodesign principles. These principles are about a product’s materials, whether it can be readily repaired and recycled, and how it can be used. Businesses and (amateur) designers can enter their products and ideas in the Bundespreis Ecodesign contest up until 30 April 2012. The BMU and UBA are tendering the contest for the first time.
