Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Cradle to Cradle (C2C), as an eco-effective approach to the circular economy, helps mitigate the environmental impacts of the linear economy; however, its implementation in product development remains challenging. Due to limited prior reviews, this research investigates the implementation of C2C in product development. Through a systematic literature analysis, we identify key topics and challenges and examine how eco-efficiency and eco-effectiveness are addressed. Based on these findings, future research should develop a framework for implementing eco-effectiveness in product development.
