This 2-volume book sheds new light on the forefront of ecodesign research, encompassing product and service design, smart manufacturing, and social perspectives. Featuring selected papers from EcoDesign 2023: 13th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing, it offers interdisciplinary approaches to foster sustainable innovations. Within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it underscores the necessity for the manufacturing sector to innovate for sustainable value creation, taking into account technological advancements, regulatory requirements, and consumer behavior. Additionally, it explores the concept of the circular economy, which originated in Europe and seeks to enhance resource efficiency by transitioning from a linear to a circular economic model. This book aims to unite professionals across the globe who are dedicated to advancing the field of ecodesign, and facilitating the exchange of knowledge across various disciplines and communities.

The first volume highlights the product life cycle design and management, sustainability assessment for ecoDesign, and circular economy. Readers will delve into the environmentally conscious design of products and services, life cycle management, sustainable manufacturing, EoL management and process technologies, green supply chain management, life cycle evaluation, and sustainability indices. Contributions from renowned scholars provide critical insights into ecodesign regulations compliance processes like EPD certifications; consumer behavior towards eco-labels; innovative business models for sustainability; participatory approaches for ESG initiatives; digital twins for real-time life cycle assessment; AI techniques supporting wastewater treatment; among others.
