Abstract
Producing eco-friendly products has become the need of the present due to the alarming conditions of global warming issues and depletion of natural resources. These issues have forced the industries to adopt the eco-design strategies in their production processes. Eco-design approaches are used by the designers to deal with these issues not only in the development of eco-friendly products but also in the development of sustainable buildings, eco-industrial parks and services. Efficient integration of the eco-design approaches in product development is still under question due to the uncertainties involved in the eco-design methods. This study provides an insight into the various eco-design methods and tools available for developing eco-friendly products. Different challenges and barriers to the implementation of eco-design have also been reported in this study. Further, the uncertainties associated with the implementation of the eco-design methods are discussed.
