Abstract

This paper presents the critical importance of integrating end-of-life strategies in the early states of design, i.e., product definition. We begin with an overview of research and practice on Design for Environment (DFE) in the United States. DFE has been receiving increasing attention in U.S. academia and industry, but the level of implementation remains low compared to Europe or Japan. The survey starts with a broad perspective on Industrial Ecology and proceeds to recyclability. The paper concludes with our recent research on incorporating end-of-life strategies into the product definition.
