	UNEP and Eco-design
		The manual "Ecodesign: a promising approach to sustainable consumption and production" was published in 1997: It provides companies with a step-by- step approach to ecodesign.
		It has been estimated that more than 40 universities world-wide are currently using the manual, whereas more than 100 universities have integrated the contents into their industrial design engineering or cleaner production curricula.
		In several cases the manual was adapted to the needs of local or national conditions, taking into account specific drivers and policies as well as including own ecodesign business examples, specific tools building on the cultural and political context regionally or nationally.

	Experiences with the Implementation of Ecodesign in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises
		The implementation of ecodesign is considered as one of the means to preserve, besides the environment, the competitiveness and the image of the company.
		The aim of this approach is that a company becomes acquainted with ecodesign in order to integrate ecodesign in a later stage in their product development process.
		Since ecodesign implies changes to products and processes and the establishment of more integral ways of product development, it is of great importance that the company has an open mind for innovation and for changes to products and processes.

	Ecodesign - A Global Issue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		However, nowadays there is a growing concern for the condition of our environment and therefore a trend has begun known as ecodesign, which meets the needs of the company while keeping the impact on the environment in mind.
		We will go through what the technical definition of ecodesign is and what some of the reasons for considering ecodesign might be.
		Ecodesign is still an emerging idea, but has come to the forefront because design with consideration of one's environment has become one of the most important aspects of the design process.

	Summary
		The new ecodesign model may be implemented in a management program for ecodesign, or be used separately as an independent tool in the product development process, see Figure B. Regardless of the program selected, certain preparations prior to using the new ecodesign model must be carried out.
		The new ecodesign model is built-up of separate modules to increase user’s flexibility, and some of the modules and activities related to the model may be excluded or added according to the specific needs of the user or company.
		The proposed ecodesign model was evaluated in an empirical case study at Sonesson Inredningar AB, a medium-sized mechanical industry with headquarter in Sweden.

	WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: Speculative Ecodesign for Osaka
		Recently, there's been a noticeable shift towards ecodesign in higher-profile competitions, including Metropolis' Next Generation Prize and the Coram Sustainable Design Award.
		The IDSA has recently done a lot to change this, educating entrants and adding a new ecodesign category for the 2006 awards.
		This has been the legacy of ecodesign, and is partly the reason that - depending on who you ask - "ecodesign" has characterized a weaker form of sustainable product design.

	The Journal of Design Research
		Most ecodesign might be described as starting small and simple, building confidence from the bottom of the design procedures up to more complex projects and all design processes.
		This is especially true for the discipline of ecodesign, which is ever strengthening its scientific and technical roots in striving for more precise and accurate environmental data, which may directly contradict the requirements of designers themselves.
		The research illustrated that industrial designers have a specific ecodesign role to play within product development and that this is generally most significant towards the earlier, more strategic and innovative practices of ecodesign, generally having a high level of conceptual input and result in new product concepts.

	WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: Ecodesign Crash Course
		Looking to fill the knowledge gap, David Bergman (who complied the Viridian Eco-Furniture List) and Erika Koering have put together Educating the Educators, a travelling seminar course for design teachers.
		It is to go beyond that first step and have ecodesign become an integral part of design education, to break down the separation and "niche-ing" of ecodesign.
		I can attest to its need - and as Metropolis notes, sustainability is only really officially taught in 14% of design programs, and many programs are simply paying lip service, or (cliched as this sounds) hurrying to catch up with european schools.
