Sustainable consumption and ecodesign : a review
(2015) 22nd ISPE Inc. International Conference on Concurrent Engineering, CE 2015 In Advances in Transdisciplinary Engineering 2(Transdisciplinary Lifecycle Analysis of Systems). p.492-499- Abstract
Sustainable products have arrived on the market and faced competition with traditional products with one extra challenge: they normally tend to be more expensive than traditional ones. Customers are yet to pay more for these products as they are alerted for environmental impacts. However, the gap between knowledge and action is being decreased slowly. One of the factors for this sluggish behavior is that the standing economic equation does not cover environmental ibues. Traditional approaches for feasibility studies are yet to be changed, as initiatives such as the eco-cost emerge.

Sustainable products have arrived on the market and faced competition with traditional products with one extra challenge: they normally tend to be more expensive than traditional ones. Customers are yet to pay more for these products as they are alerted for environmental impacts. However, the gap between knowledge and action is being decreased slowly. One of the factors for this sluggish behavior is that the standing economic equation does not cover environmental ibues. Traditional approaches for feasibility studies are yet to be changed, as initiatives such as the eco-cost emerge. From a Product Development Proceb point of view, customer satisfaction and selling price are two very important inputs that drive the proceb from the early beginning and determine whether the resulting product will achieve market succeb or not. A more sustainable product tends to be more durable as it reduces scrap. Currently, the world economic chain is configured respecting the pace in which products are consumed, as consumers are accustomed with traditional products and their durability. As the world grows more sustainable, the economic chain will be sustainability-driven and therefore, require more durable products and services. Using a bibliometric approach, this article proposes a review of sustainable product development and its interface with these economical and customer perception ibues. First, research domains were prescribed and keywords were defined to narrow the search. Databases were selected and researched using boolean codes. The resulting list was finally reviewed and filtered, as to refine the search accordingly after defined criteria. Findings include (but are not limited to) a growth in the number of published articles year after year and also a list of journals with most publications in this research field. Finally, this article points new trends to be explored inside product development.
