The sustainability wheel is a holistic model
00:06
that illustrates the interconnectedness of the economic,
00:09
social and environmental aspects of sustainability.
00:12
It is a useful tool for businesses and organizations
00:15
to identify and address their sustainability challenges and opportunities.
00:20
Each spoke on the wheel is associated with a set of steps
00:23
or guidelines specific to that stage of the product life cycle.
00:27
These steps provide actionable recommendations for
00:30
incorporating sustainability principles into design decisions.
00:35
This wheel guides designers,
00:37
engineers and students through the entire life cycle of a
00:40
product from initial ideation to end of life recovery.
00:44
While considering environmental, social and economic aspects,
00:49
the sectors of the sustainability wheel are interconnected,
00:52
meaning that actions taken in one sector can have impacts on other sectors.
00:60
A case study on how the sustainability wheel was used is the
01:04
Mahoto sustainable showerhead.
01:06
Traditional showerheads use a significant amount of water and energy adding up
01:11
to hundreds of gallons of water and hundreds of dollars of energy.
01:15
The
01:16
Mahoto showerhead is a sustainable alternative
01:18
to traditional shower heads in that it
01:20
uses patented technology and construction to reduce water flow by up to 70%
01:26
without sacrificing water pressure or shower quality.
01:31
The
01:31
Mahoto showerhead also heats water more
01:33
efficiently than traditional shower heads,
01:35
which can save even more energy.
01:38
The component that makes it so unique is the metal construction
01:42
of the head itself which makes it easier to recycle.
01:45
The showerhead was designed using auto desk fusion and
01:49
won a European product design award in 2021.
