| Title | Re-considering product design: a practical "road-map" for integration of sustainability issues |

| Abstract | The proliferation of sustainability assessment principles, strategies, actions, and tools has created confusion about pathways forward for companies. It is unclear how existing approaches are complementary or distinct. How does a company assess current products and materials? How could designers create more sustainable products? What criteria, principles, approaches, and tools should be applied? Why? Is there a practical "road map" to guide product designers and product development managers in integrating sustainability issues into their decision-making processes? This article builds on previous frameworks for understanding the interconnections between various assessment principles, strategies, actions, and tools related to industrial ecology, human and labor rights, and corporate social responsibility [Waage S, Geiser K, Irwin F, Weissman A, Bertolucci M, Fisk P, et al. Fitting together the building blocks for sustainability: a revised model for integrating ecological, social, and financial factors into business decision-making. Journal of Cleaner Production 2005;13(12):1117-206; Robert K-H, Schmidt-Bleek B, Aloisi de Larderel J, Basile G, Jansen JL, Kuehr R, et al. Strategic sustainable development-selection, design and synergies of applied tools. Journal of Cleaner Production 2002; 10(3):197-214; Robert K-H. Tools and concepts for sustainable development, how do they relate to a framework for sustainable development, and to each other? Journal of Cleaner Production 2000;8(3):2,13-54]. Expanding on past work, this piece suggests a "road map" for application by product designers and product development managers. A four-phase process is offered for integrating systems and sustainability, perspectives into product design, manufacturing, and delivery decisions. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
