Abstract :
The paper presents the latest development of new modules for the Design for Environment tool ECODESIGN PILOT. It shows how elements from QFD and from the TRIZ methodology can be combined with the ECODESIGN PILOT to create a powerful and easy to use approach for aiming at environmental innovative products which meet customers demands. A practical example is given to demonstrate the stepwise procedure.
