<strong>The</strong> <strong>Sustainable</strong> <strong>Products</strong> Project<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Sustainable</strong> <strong>Products</strong> Project of the <strong>Lowell</strong> <strong>Center</strong> promotes the sustainable design and<br />
development of safer, healthier, and greener products through engaging stakeholders, conducting<br />
research and providing in<strong>for</strong>mation that can spark innovative, environmentally sound<br />
solutions. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Lowell</strong> <strong>Center</strong> <strong>Framework</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Sustainable</strong> <strong>Products</strong> is a tool to help evaluate<br />
the environmental, social, and economic impacts of existing products and to design new products<br />
that minimize these impacts. By defining the key elements of a sustainable product, the<br />
<strong>Framework</strong> helps companies develop a broader vision of what a sustainable product encompasses,<br />
identify opportunities <strong>for</strong> improvement, and assess progress in meeting that vision.<br />
