Here are five basic elements to think about when designing environmentally friendly POS items:
-
SIMPLIFICATION: You want to design for fewer components, which means less manufacturing and materials. This controls waste and is beneficial for storage and freight.
-
FLEXIBILITY: Create a POS system or element that can be easily updated or refreshed without having to dispose of the entire structure.
-
WEIGHT: Lower weight translates to fewer materials, less energy consumed in manufacturing and lower costs for freight and fuel.
-
STREAMLINE: Make the manufacturing stage less costly and decrease labor and material costs by limiting the number of elements and materials in the design phase.
-
RECYCLING: Be selective in specifying materials and substrates, as well as green materials. Think about the production processes for your design as well as the materials that go into it to assure materials can be easily recycled.
