Professor David  Harrison has research interests in sustainable design and printed electronics. Over the past decade he has lead a number of research projects inspired by the goals of environmentally sensitive design. These projects include the application of offset lithographic printing to the manufacture of  electronics.   New manufacturing processes arising from this project have been successfully patented and licensed. He  has also worked on the development of the concept of "Active Disassembly", where by features are designed into products  to permit them to disassemble at end of product life, facilitating recycling.  He is a Director of a spin out company, Active Fasteners, set up to commercialise this work.  Other recent projects supervised include work on ecological footprinting of products, eco innovation, and tools to calculate ecologically optimum product lifetimes.
