what will I have to consider when designing products in the future

in the near future and as we can see today there is a strong awareness of environmental impact of products and companies are using environmental approaches to market their products, a good example is the innocent smoothie company. The Government also use this as an extra way of recieving tax, for example cars with higher exhaust emissions are given much higher tax prices, they are doing the same as what they do to tobacco prices, because its unhealthy, the Government are excused to add on high % of tax. To sum it unsustainable products are becoming more and more disliked and the only way to designing succesful products is designing the lifecycle instead of the product so that it dosn't simply go from cradle to grave but rather from cradle to cradle.
