“…Considering our aim is to implement the Green-Use (GU) Learning Cycles either on existing or on new products, it is important to explain the usefulness in product architectures already in the market. The insights given by a interactive approach to functional needs satisfaction can inform us where in the "use" phase the interaction between user and product can be improved without modifying the existing architecture, where can the product be partially modified (upgraded, as in [15]), or where the interaction can be exploited for our specific purpose of enhancing environmentally friendly use. B) Contextual needs: these extend the relationships between user and product to the specific context where the product is positioned.…”

Product design is now driven to the satisfaction of requirements all along the life cycle of the product, with an increased concern in environmental impact. A new concept, the Green-Use (GU) Learning Cycles, is proposed. It is used to determine the way a continuous, adaptive interaction between user and product can be established to improve environmental performance during use. It is structured by two levels of analysis (macro and micro) and a cyclic nature. These levels are the “Incremental user involvement levels”, and the “Environmental Impact in Use”. They are modelled around the notion of an evolution in cycles, from the initial state of the system product-user to a final stage which results in optimal use with minimal environmental impact. This work includes experimentation to support the new concept proposed, as well a method to use it.

“…This way of thinking can be relevant in engineering design to develop long-lasting product. Moreover, in engineering design, methods such as upgradability propose to increase the value lifetime of the product, improving a product step-by-step with the integration of upgrades (Pialot et al, 2012). In puppet design process, makers rarely explicit their process and often upgrade and repair their puppet without specific design methods.…”

Ecodesign has been widely explored in the development process of consumer and capital goods. This study focuses on the environmental assessment of puppets. The methodological approach is inductive and propose to adapt analytical tools from ecodesign to cultural goods specificities. First, a generic puppet design process emerged from interviews of 6 puppet makers. Then, a life cycle inventory study is performed and main environmental issues are discussed. Finally, crossfertilization between puppet design and engineering design are highlighted in research perspectives.

“…Therefore, a new design approach will be vital for this new design strategy.  To promote reuse of components  To ensure reliability of the multiple utilisation of component is not lower than the original requirements  To lead to savings in energy, production costs and volumes of virgin material in production DFA Design for Assembly [5,31]  To minimise the time required to reassemble the product  To prevent damage during part insertion DFD Design for Disassembly [5,36,37]  To minimise the time required to disassemble the product  For a complete disassembly DFU Design for Upgrade [38]  For upgrades particularly relevant to remanufacturing  For upgrading product functions to meet customers' requirements from time to time DFR Design for Durability [39]  To make sure components are robust enough to reuse DFMo Design for Modularity [26,40,41]  For ease of upgrading  For ease of serviceability  For ease of disassembly DFMa Design for Maintainability [41]  For enhanced serviceability  For ease of repairs and to provide longer life  To maintain quality of the product  To minimise disposal of non-working products However, the existing product design guidelines comprising eco-design requirements are still fragmented and not integrated to support the generation of a product for multiple life-cycles. It is now necessary to work at the interfaces of the various disciplines of Design for X (DFX) guidelines in order to address complex issues that are brought about by the requirements of multiple life-cycles.…”

Life-cycle thinking in the development of new products has led design engineers to rethink the way they design sustainable products. One of the most viable approaches is designing products for multiple life-cycles. For this purpose, a sustainable design tool that has a broader perspective in providing design guidelines to enhance end-of-life product recovery for multiple life-cycles is necessary. However, there are too many design requirements, some of which are conflicting. Designers are not supported by specific methodologies or tools to evaluate the weightage and importance of the design elements. Therefore, an extensive review of the design requirements of remanufacturable products was conducted in order to identify the design elements for multiple life-cycle products. A modified Analytical Hierarchy Process method was developed based on the design strategies in order to obtain the weightage that indicates the importance of each design element. The proposed approach is capable of refining and setting priorities in strategic decision-making during the design phase of a multiple life-cycle product. Verification of the strategic factors was based on an in-depth interview with an automobile engine remanufacturer. Based on the study, disassemblability and assemblability were found to be the two most important criteria in designing automobile engines for multiple lifecycles.
