Ms Anna Levin:

No. It is something that needs to be taken into the design stage. The drive for energy-efficient products was about working with the designers to make sure things are designed but it comes back to the same issue that they were looking at one measurement, which is watts per lumen. Even that is contested. When we look only at energy efficiency, we are not looking at the environmental impact, the materials, recycling, the disposal issues or the wider impacts on ecosystems. It was a well-intended process that has to some extent gone wrong.
