Provides recommendations for the process by which design and project teams seek to maximize material efficiency through design and describes what material efficiency in design involves and how the process of designing for material efficiency is implemented through the Strategic Definition and Preparation and Brief stages of a project.

This part of BS8895 gives recommendations for the process by which design and project teams seek to maximize material efficiency through design. It outlines what material efficiency in design involves and how the process of designing for material efficiency is implemented through the Strategic Definition and Preparation and Brief stages of a project.

NOTE1 This includes optimizing material use, increasing materials with a higher level of recycled content, designing out waste, and planning for waste reduction and recycling.

NOTE2 For an explanation of the need for designing for material efficiency, see the Introduction.

NOTE3 AnnexA demonstrates how other parts of BS8895 will cover material efficiency at other stages of a project.
