1. Minimize Material Content:
• Dematerialize the product or some of its components
• Digitalize the product or some of its components
• Miniaturize
• Avoid over-sized dimensions
• Reduce thickness
• Apply ribbed structures to increase structural stiffness
• Avoid extra components with little functionality

2. Minimize Scraps and Discards:
• Select processes that reduce scraps and discarded materials during productions
• Engage simulation systems to optimize transformation processes

3. Minimize or Avoid Packaging:
• Avoid packaging
• Apply materials only where absolutely necessary
• Design the package to be part (or become a part) of the product

4. Engage More Consumption Efficient Systems:
• Design for more efficient consumption of operational materials
• Design for more efficient supply of raw materials
• Design for more efficient use of maintenance materials
• Design systems for consumption of passive materials
• Design for cascading recycling systems
• Facilitate the user to reduce materials consumption
• Set the product’s default state at minimal materials consumption

5. Engage Systems of Flexible Materials Consumption:
• Engage digital support systems with dynamic configuration
• Design dynamic materials consumption for different operational stages
• Engage sensors to adjust materials consumption according to differentiated operational stages
• Reduce resource consumption in the product’s default state

6. Minimize Materials Consumption During the Product Development Phase:
• Minimize the consumption of stationary goods and their packaging
• Engage digital tools in designing, modeling and prototype creation
• Engage digital tools for documentation, communication and presentation
