<h2>Design for Environment</h2>

<p>Design for Environment (DFE) means the systematic integration
of environmental objectives into product design. The purpose of DFE is to
satisfy the requirements of customers and other stakeholders in a way that
causes less environmental impact. In practice, DFE uses design practices leading,
for example, to:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>minimised material and energy use</p>
</li>
<li><p>maximised reuse and recycling</p>
</li>
<li><p>minimised use of environmentally relevant
materials</p>
</li>
</ul>


<p>The DFE objectives have an impact on the product design
specification along with other product features, such as performance, quality,
usability, and cost effectiveness. In Nokia Networks, environmental issues
are an integral part of NET Product Creation Process.</p>


<p>Environmental issues are also a criterion in designing
product packaging. Nokia designs its packaging to be recyclable and seeks
to reduce the amount and weight of packaging materials without compromising
the requirement for adequate protection.</p>
