产品的大部分环境影响是在设计阶段决定的，因此，旨在改进设计并将可持续性考虑纳入产品开发的方法和工具的产生迅速增长。虽然这些方法和工具带来了可衡量的效益，但在大多数情况下，它们本质上是渐进的，而不是产生根本性的“X因素”改进。这突出表明，有必要对现有的可持续设计方法进行仔细分析，以确定其缺点，并更好地了解如何释放设计改进的全部潜力。本文简要概述了生态设计的演变及其向可持续设计的延伸。它评估了当前实践的关键影响因素，并确定了一些未来的研究挑战，促进其发展的下一阶段，可持续性将成为设计过程中无处不在的一部分。
The majority of the environmental impact of a product is decided during the design phase, and as such there has been a rapid growth in generation of methodologies and tools that aim to improve design and include sustainability considerations in product development. Although these methodologies and tools have introduced measurable benefits, in most cases they have been incremental in nature as opposed to producing radical ’Factor X’ improvements. This highlights the need for a careful analysis of existing sustainable design methods to identify their shortcomings and to enable a greater understanding of how to unlock the full potential of design improvements. This paper provides a brief overview of the evolution of ecodesign and its extension into sustainable design. It assesses the key influencing factors of current practice and identifies a number of future research challenges, promoting the next stage in its development in which sustainability will become a ubiquitous part of the design process.
