Abstract
This book consists of 16 chapters which are grouped into four parts including tools, methods, LCA case studies and integrated approach for sustainable product development. Overview of this book is given with brief information of the 16 chapters. The scope of sustainable product development is presented. The sustainable product development process is detailed with explanation of the sustainable product development through the product lifecycle and its objective, as well as a three-tiers approach for sustainable product design. The integration of methods and tools through the product development process is described, and all the tools and methods presented in other chapters of this book are relevant to this integrated approach. At the end, the novel contributions of this book are highlighted.
