Ecodesign—A Review of Reviews

摘要: With the intent of summing up past research on ecodesign and making it more accessible, we gather findings from 106 existing review articles in this field. Five questions terminology, evolution, barriers success factors, methods tools, synergies, guide clustering resulting 608 statements extracted reference. The quantitative analysis reveals that number has been increasing over time. Furthermore, most originate Europe, are published journals, address factors. For qualitative analysis, grouped according to question they address. We find several names for similar concepts exist, with being popular one. It evolved “end-of-pipe” pollution prevention a systemic concept, addresses complete life cycle. Barriers factors extend beyond product development team management, customers, policymakers, educators. tools available them is large, reviewing, testing, validation, categorization ones necessary. Synergies between other disciplines exist theory, but require implementation testing practice.
