Abstract: This paper states the findings and highlights the questions which have arisen from the initial\nstages of a collaborative research project in ecodesign, between Cranfield University and\nElectrolux UK. It discusses the initial findings arising from combining a critical analysis of the\nliterature in this area with observations of industrial practice at Electrolux UK. It concludes that\necodesign at industrial design stages has under-utilised business potential. Future research\nshould attempt to determine how ecodesign can be incorporated into industrial design and be\nmanaged through a structured process, such as the Integrated Product Development Process at\nElectrolux.
