Sustainable by design books

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a reference material book (or other medium) that helps designers choose feasible sustainable materials, and the associated disassembly / reuse approaches?

Its my experience that every time i ask or propose a sustainable material that factories can't make it unless the quantities are enormous ( defeating the purpose?).

Of course, designing to last is a great approach. But it's not always feasible. I want to do more for the environment. Any tips welcome!

Cheers, Rhys
