Examination of Life Cycle Design in Service/Product Design process Aiming at Circular Economy

Abstract

The authors have developed a method for designing products (IoT and DX systems) for realizing services in process of the creation and design of services.In this research, we examine the method of product design for environmental problem and the method of creating a business model considering the 3R (reuse, reduce, recycle) of the environment as a Circular Economy, which is currently attracting attention. Here, we develop a design method for environment-oriented product modules using environmental information. Furthermore, we will consider a method to build a business in product module units by combining it with service creation and design methods.
