To address such gap, this study proposes an exploratory theory-driven framework based on logic models support development cases objective is offer outlook into how implementation can potentially affect key performance outcomes. This paper a three-stage research methodology with six steps. Two full systematic literature reviews were performed, along two thematic analyses grounded theory approach aim developing case framework, which was then evaluated seven industry experts. contributes laying out ecodesign-instantiated model, readily available be adapted customized further test use practice. Discussions usefulness applicability directions future presented.
