Abstract

This research project explores the application of the design approach of Eco-efficient Value Creation and the model of the Eco-cost/Value Ratio to practical cases, in order to advance the potential contribution of designers to accelerating the transition towards an environmentally sustainable society.
The Eco-efficient Value Creation approach is aimed at enabling designers to effectively create design solutions which combine a low environmental impact with a high customer perceived value, in order to achieve an increase in sustainable design solutions capturing market share over unsustainable design solutions currently on the market.
