| Abstract | Eco-efficiency is a prominent as well as promising approach for fostering sustainability by assessing the environmental impact and value of companies' activities simultaneously. A lot of indicators to assess both pillars - environmental and economic effects - are presented in different standards and guidelines. These indicators primarily refer to the "overall" evaluation of eco-efficiency at a company level. However, the concept of eco-efficiency seems to be fruitful for the sustainability-oriented analysis and design of single products and production processes as well. Since this task implies the need of other indicators, the paper presents a system of adequate technology, product and process-related indicators. A case study referring to moulds for injection moulding demonstrates the applicability and typical results of the suggested concept. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. |
