Ergonomics Miniseries: Avoiding Ergonomic "Greenwashing" (Ep. 2/3)

In this episode, Dr. Lauren Gant and Tony Ash, Product Marketing Manager at Allsteel, explore how ergonomic principles can be seamlessly integrated into product design, ensuring ergonomics is an inherent feature rather than just a marketing tool. Dr. Gant brings her expertise in ergonomics to the discussion, which covers the four key areas—fit, movement, comfort, and intuitiveness—and the use of data-driven methods like anthropometric data and pressure mapping to accommodate diverse users. The conversation also touches on balancing aesthetics with ergonomics, the rise of sustainability in product development, and the importance of creating durable, repairable products.
