With the continuous improvement of global awareness of environmental protection, enterprises are facing unprecedented challenges in the process of product research and development - how to ensure the excellent performance of products while maximizing their environmental friendliness. The grasp of this balance point is not only related to the sustainable development of enterprises, but also reflects their responsibility to society and the environment. At the beginning of product development, companies should first clarify their environmental goals, including reducing resource consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and improving product recyclability or degradability. The setting of these goals should be based on a profound understanding of current environmental policies, industry trends, and consumer demands, ensuring that product development direction aligns with the concept of sustainable development.

Thoroughly understanding and accurately analyzing the performance requirements of a product is the foundation for balancing performance and environmental friendliness. Enterprises should clarify the core performance indicators that products need to meet, such as functionality, durability, safety, etc., through market research, competitor analysis, and other means. At the same time, the impact of these performance indicators on the environment, such as energy consumption, emissions, etc., should also be considered.

The selection of defoamer materials is directly related to the environmental friendliness of the product. Enterprises should prioritize the use of renewable, recyclable, or bio based environmentally friendly materials to reduce their reliance on traditional high polluting materials. At the same time, a comprehensive evaluation of the material's performance is conducted to ensure that it meets the product's performance requirements. Whenever possible, develop new materials that are both environmentally friendly and high-performance through material innovation.

Energy efficiency is one of the key points in balancing product performance and environmental friendliness. Enterprises should adopt advanced energy efficiency optimization design methods, such as system optimization, structural optimization, control strategy optimization, etc., to improve the energy utilization efficiency of products and reduce unnecessary energy consumption. At the same time, pay attention to the lifecycle energy consumption of products, and strive to achieve maximum energy utilization throughout the entire process from design, production, use to disposal.

The recycling and reuse of products are important ways to achieve environmental protection. Enterprises should design product structures that are easy to disassemble and recycle, and encourage consumers to participate in the recycling of products. At the same time, establish a comprehensive recycling system to effectively recycle and dispose of waste products, reducing resource waste and environmental pollution.

Actively introducing energy-saving and emission reduction technologies during the research and development process is an effective means to improve the environmental friendliness of products. These technologies include but are not limited to clean production technology, energy-saving and consumption reducing technology, low-carbon emission technology, etc. Through technological innovation, reduce energy consumption and emissions in the production process, and enhance the overall environmental protection level of the product.

Following national and international environmental standards is a fundamental requirement for ensuring the environmental friendliness of products. Enterprises should closely monitor the dynamic changes in environmental standards to ensure that all aspects of product development, production, and sales comply with relevant standards. At the same time, actively participate in standard setting work and promote the industry to develop towards a more environmentally friendly direction.

Balancing product performance and environmental friendliness is a continuous process. Enterprises should establish a comprehensive evaluation system to regularly assess the performance and environmental friendliness of products at different stages. Based on the evaluation results, adjust research and development strategies and production processes in a timely manner, continuously optimize product performance and environmental friendliness. At the same time, encourage employees to propose innovative improvement suggestions and work together to promote continuous improvement and upgrading of the product.

In summary, balancing product performance and environmental friendliness requires companies to comprehensively consider environmental goals, performance requirements, material selection, energy efficiency optimization, recycling, energy conservation and emission reduction, standard compliance, and continuous evaluation and improvement during the research and development process. By comprehensively applying these strategies, enterprises can develop high-quality products that meet both market demand and environmental requirements, contributing to sustainable development.
