摘要: This paper presents the third sub-theme of Ph.D thesis entitled “ The Role Industrial Designers Toward Environmental Concern for Sustainable Product Development and Ecodesign Strategy”. main focus this research is an analysis current development process environmental product concerns motivation/obstacles, encountered by designers, whilst integrating ecodesign into as part eco-redesign process. term “eco-redesign process” used in refers to environmentally improved products, other words, redesign existing order reduce impact. driver motivation/stimulus behind implementation ecodesign. Whereas barrier obstacles/difficulties implementing development. authors decided undertake project , because issue has not yet been discussed from designers’ perspective academic community Japan. Another reason that led us tackle these issues, was general lack insight role designers attainment more sustainable Since 1999 activities have increasing These include “The 1 st 2 nd International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design Inverse Manufacturing”, Seminar ’99", 3 rd 4 th WASTEC - Waste Control Technology Exhibition”, Eco-product Exhibition ‘99 ’99".
