Eco-Design Pilot Improvement Based on TRIZ and ASIT Tools
Abstract
Eco-design is a relevant research topic because of the need of powerful and confirmed systematic methods that can support companies in their efforts to develop green products within acceptable time and costs. Eco-design Pilot, developed by ADEME and Vienna University of Technology, is one of the tools that seeks this purpose. It proposes measures depending on the nature of the environmental impact of the product. However, the assessment phase of the measures proposed by this tool is both subjective and does not stimulate the development of creative solutions. To overcome this major drawback, this paper seeks to rely on TRIZ and ASIT tools to better assess the proposed measures and develop creative ideas within a new framework for Eco-design Pilot measures assessment. This framework has been tested first on the Eco-design Pilot Improvement Objective and Strategy “Reduction Packaging”. As result, 31 realization ideas, that could be used by packaging designers in green context, have emerged from this application. A non-exhaustive research on packaging industry practices has shown that some realization ideas have already been applied to produce innovative solutions. In perspective, we will discuss other Eco-design improvement objectives and strategies in a quest for the framework generalization.
