Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Science - Environment & Ecology / Environmental Protection
Swedish term or phrase: miljöutformning
I have so far only found Environmental Design for this term, but this does not really fit.

The context is "The producer will take into account MILJÖUTFORMNING when they produce their products."

environmental footprint
Explanation:
Also known as ecological footprint.

Without further context, this is only a guess. But this suggestion fits the Eng, as many environmental policies for manufacturers or environmental NGOs talk about production in this way. See (http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/business-english/... and (http://www.worldwatch.org/paper-production-levels-environmen...

And see http://wwf.panda.org/about_our_earth/teacher_resources/webfi...

But it is still easier to determine these things with the Swe source context!
