Website: Energy-Efficient Product Development

In the Netherlands, the Energy-Efficient Product Development program has proven to be a successful approach toward reducing costs and improving energy efficiency in the private sector. The guiding principle of EEPD is to save energy in all phases of the life cycle of a product or service -- from raw materials extraction to disposal. This site, available in both English and Dutch, offers a general introduction to the program as well as 25 practical examples of its principles in action, mainly in Dutch industries.
