Abstract
Nowadays, eco-products have become a real need in the world due to the awareness of the importance of preserving the environment. Consequently, companies have become faced to new requirements that should be taken into consideration from the design process. It is in this context that a new structured approach has been developed in this paper. It is based on fuzzy ontologies which make the comparison between many eco-design alternatives and the selection of the best one automatic and simple. The use of this artificial intelligent tool allows also the handling and the consideration of fuzzy and uncertain information in the design process which makes the studies in eco-design more efficient and precise. A case study is presented in order to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed methodology.
