Autodesk has always considered sustainability for products and built world, as well as our own natural environment an important aspect of design to be considered. Looking down the road at what your choices in design make by saving resources, better products, and of course in many cases saving money.

Makeshift teamed up with Autodesk, Core77, and iFixit, to launch the student design competition Design for (Your) Product Lifetime.
“Designing to extend the product lifetime means considering the use, disassembly, repair, and recycling of your product.”
