DfS Dashboard
Coming soon the Design for Sustainability (DfS) Dashboard
Every day, professionals like you – in the design, communications and purchasing arenas – make important decisions that have tremendous impacts on all of us. These impacts go far beyond the publishing, printing and packaging industries, to affect our economy, our environment and our society in many ways.
AIGA's partner, the Institute for Sustainable Communications built the DfS Dashboard to help develop and spread a better understanding of the pivotal issues that are raised by these design, specification and purchasing decisions. With an easy-to-use interface, the DfS Dashboard will enable you to model a comparison between two design/spec options. You will receive real-time feedback on the relative costs and impacts associated with each option you are considering, so that you can exercise greater responsibility over the decisions you make.
Model anything that you design, print, produce, use or purchase that is made of
- Paper,
- Paperboard,
- Newsprint,
- Corrugated, or
- Boxboard.
Save money, energy, water & trees, spare the air, preserve nature & improve message efficiency.
