    A systematic review of environmentally conscious product design
    (EnviroInfo & ICT4S, Conference Proceedings, 2015) Li, Zhongkai; Gómez, Jorge Marx; Pehlken, Alexandra
    Recently environmentally conscious product design (ECPD) is highlighted by research community, because of the global conscious about low carbon emission and sustainable development. ECPD cares about the environmental, social and economic impacts of products during their life cycle phases, with the destination to achieve product life cycle design for sustainability. Furthermore, information and communication technologies are important for the implementation of computer-aided eco-design. The theories, methods, software tools about ECPD during 2005 to 2015 were reviewed in this work. Five most related aspects including product eco-design, design for disassembly (DFD), design for recycling (DFR), material selection (MS), and eco-design software tools were analyzed as related categories. Eco-impact assessment was found to be a pre-step in ECPD followed by product eco-innovation. DFD, DFR, and MS helped to improve the energy efficiency and eco-friendliness of products. Eco-design software tools are focusing on CAD-integration, web-based and knowledge base-based characteristics. More eco-design software tools will be developed in specific industries and to handling products with composite materials.

    Modeling for sustainable product development strategies with general morphological analysis
    (INFORMATIK 2015, 2015) Li, Zhongkai; Gómez, Jorge Marx
    Sustainable product development is currently of concern by scientists within both academia and engineering. Despite existing literature proposed related to detailed aspects for design for sustainability (D4S), the modeling of life cycle driving forces for D4S in different levels remains insufficient. A morphological analysis (MA) approach was applied to explore the strategies in sustainable product development in this work. With the experts' brainstorming and MA framework, the results for solutions to D4S were obtained under the support program from the Swedish Morphological Society. The specific factors and states for six sustainable development scenarios were acquired and compared. Platform-based innovation, flexible manufacturing system, multi-material lightweight design, energy efficiency priority, disassemble to reuse, remanufacturing, recycling (3R), LCA and CAX software are identified as key strategies for D4S. The sustainability-improving strategies for companies with an eco-design basis, small to medium enterprises (SME), and governments are also briefly discussed respectively.
