Abstract
Many eco design tools and product assessment methods have been developed to improve the environmental performance of products during design stage. Despite the efforts made at the product level, environmental impact in our society is increasing due to environmental impact associated with increased product volume. This article presents a new methodology for product life cycle design assessment to predict the total impact caused in the society by forecasting the market growth of emerging product technologies. A number of products were used to prove the validity of the proposed model and demonstrate the usefulness of the methodology.
