Predicting preliminary environmental product impact in concept development

Practicing Eco-design is recommended as early as possible in product development process. It is found that not so many Eco-Design methods and tools are applicable for concept development purposes. Further on, environmental impact assessment is often done in later design phases when product’s structure, material and fundamental features are already defined. By acknowlidging that product’s environmental impact could be predicted in conceptual design phase, designers could be given the opportunity to develop more environmentally conscious concepts and solutions, resulting in sustainable and eco-friendly products.
