Welcome to my weblog!

Hello and thank you for visiting my brand new weblog! For my Ph.D. research, I intend to establish the state of the art within sustainable product design, and to determine exactly what it is that constitutes ‘best practice’ within the industry. This work will hopefully be suitable for incorporation within a new British Standard. I am planning to do this with a combination of a conventional literature review, followed by an extensive investigation into commercial practices through visiting manufacturers and recyclers. As part of my work, I will be interviewing key people, and examining the processes they use, with the intention of discovering the most useful and valuable concepts, methods, and design and management models appropriate for inclusion within the standard.
My work is a natural progression of several previous studies within the Cleaner Electronics research group, namely active disassembly for consumer electronics; active disassembly for end-of-life vehicles; and ecological footprint assessment of consumer electronics.
I am hoping that by running this blog throughout the research process, you and other interested people will feel inspired to join in with the discussions!
