This paper evaluates the advantage of design for environment such as reuse, remanufacturing, and upgradable designs. The ultimate purpose of this study is development of an adaptability evaluation method of product reusability, remanufacturability, and upgradability to support designer’s decision making of product/component lifecycle options at the early phase of design process. Thus, this paper speculates the appropriate perspectives of these evaluations and proposes conceptual evaluation method based on the viewpoints of society (low environmental load), manufacturer (low production cost and high profitability), and consumer (low lifecycle cost and high performance). Proposed evaluation method evaluates laptop’s adaptabilities of each lifecycle option quantitatively and shows that upgrading can satisfy the intents of three stakeholders described above. In addition, the agendas of this study are emerged. Particularly, evaluation perspectives with respect to product degradability, reliability, and palatability should be added. Additionally, improving evaluation method that can evaluate multiple perspectives comprehensively is also this study’s agenda.
