Abstract

ECO-QUEST for Electronics, an ECOdesign QUESTionnaire for suppliers of the Electronics Industry, has been developed by the Delft Research Laboratory for Sustainable Product Innovation with support of some major manufacturers in the Electronics Industry. Basically it is a self-audit system to establish the relative environmental merit of goods and services of suppliers. The system has been organized in such a way that it does not take more than 30 minutes to come to a meaningful result. ECO-QUEST is a first and easy to understand introduction to more comprehensive environmental product analysis and is therefore also a basis for product improvements by Design for Environment.
