McAloone, Timothy Charles

Research shows that over the past five years, industry has improved its understanding of the need to consider the environmental impacts of its products As a result companies are now beginning to incorporate environmental decisions into their design processes. It has been observed that companies follow a general pattern of change in order to continuously improve their eco-design capabilities. Many methods can be used to ensure that environmental considerations are included in the design process, some which may be complimentary to the existing process of design, and some which may contradict existing design practices. This paper explores the use of DFX principles during eco-design. Literature describing the use of DFX principles in eco-design is reviewed and used to investigate empirical evidence from designers in the electrical/electronics industry
