- Help is generally in LEDCs
- Organisation that works with trade unions in order to increase the rights of workers worldwide.
- Working condidtions
- Cultural Issues
- Valuing the responses of others to design solutions
- The impact of different cultures on modern products
- Environmental Issues
- Select materials that are appropriate and sustainable
- Reduce
- Use of chemicals
- eg. bleaches, CFCs
- Use of materials dangerous to the environment
- eg. toxic materials

- Reduce
- Life cycle of a product
- Energy and waste of production process
- Built in obscolecence
- Materials wastage
- Life cycle of a product
- Reuse
- Products that can be reused
- Same purpose
- Different purpose
- adapted for alternative use
- eg. wine glass could be a rose vase
- Products that can be reused
- Recycle
- Recyclable products
- Glass
- Plastic
- Metals
- Products that use recycled materials
- Disassembly
- Tertiary recycling
- Types of recycling
- Primary
- Same as reusing a product
- eg. refilling plastic bottle
- Secondary
- Taking something apart and making something else
- eg. making a pair of jeans into a bag
- Tertiary
- When products are broken down and reformulated
- eg. plastic bottles into fleece fabric
- Primary
- Recyclable products
- Rethink
- Is it possible to approach design problems differently?
- More sustainably?
- How?
- Utalising wastage products or components of old products
- Is it possible to approach design problems differently?
- Repair
- Try to fix and mend broken products
- Products
- Can they be fixed?
- Is it safe to fix this product?
- Refuse
- Issues relating to sustainable design
- Expensive
- Not yet cost effective
- Materials we should refuse to use
- Plastic
- Refuse to purchase unneeded prducts
- Issues relating to sustainable design
- Reduce

- Thermochromic
- Change colour in response to a temperature change
- eg. mugs that change colour when hot drink is present
- Change colour in response to a temperature change
- Photochromic
- Changes colour is response to a change in the light level
- eg. white indoors, colourful outside
- Changes colour is response to a change in the light level
- Phosphorescent pigment
- stores light energy and then provides an 'afterglow'
- 'Afterglow' - glows in the dark
- eg. safety signs
- stores light energy and then provides an 'afterglow'
