Abstract
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) use is increasing worldwide, since ICT has become a significant mechanism for researching, searching, communication, entertainment, shopping and information and more. However, the recycling of ICT products and the energy consumption of ICT is becoming a major problem for users and organizations nationally and internationally. Therefore, a solution should be applied to tackle and address it as a matter of urgency for the sake of the current and future generations. This chapter introduces and examines a New Participative Methodology for Sustainable Design. The sustainable design proposed in the New Participative Methodology for Sustainable Design was assessed via an online survey conducted in Australia. The survey outcomes confirmed the sustainable design step, and Australian users confirmed that through education and awareness, designers would learn more about sustainability and sustainable design.
