When developing products, engineers face challenges in solving technical, economical, but also ecological conflicts of objectives. A common technical conflict is the contradictory behaviour between stiffness and mass components. possibility to resolve this contradiction offered by multimaterial components, which are made possible a loadoptimised design. Taking example topology-optimised multi-material article shows method for taking impact raw material extraction into account selecting suitable designs offsetting performance index with results assessment calculations. These analysed order identify solution according technical-ecological
