“…The concept of green design or “Design for Environment” (DfE) originated in the early 1990s. The scope of the green design includes the objectives of environmental protection, human health and safety and sustainability of natural resources (Lewis et al , 2017). Environmental-conscious design and manufacturing (ECD&M) includes a social and technological aspect of the design of the product.…”

PurposeIn order to improve environmental performance, manufacturing companies around the world have started to seek green practices (GPs) to adopt in their operations. Environmental awareness of the stakeholders has put the pressure and changed the focus of manufacturers. The purpose of this article is to gather GPs used in manufacturing industries through a literature review. It also aims at exploring other elements related to GPs in manufacturing firms.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is exploratory in its approach. After searching relevant research articles from the online database, a review of 103 research articles has been conducted in the area of GPs in manufacturing industries.FindingsThis work attempts to offer a comprehensive list of GPs by studying the detailed relevant literature. This paper concludes that the concern of the use of GPs within manufacturing organisations is rising fast around the world, and research in this area is of great interest throughout the world over the last decade.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has reported several earlier studies by searching the online database through some selected keywords only, but it has not performed a subjective overview for screening and choosing the research articles. This paper explores and gives a concise description of the GPs in manufacturing that will be helpful for further studies of green manufacturing (GM).Originality/valueThis study provides a comprehensive literature review of GPs in manufacturing industries. This review should give benefits to other scholars and practitioners interested in studying GPs related to manufacturing industries. It might represent new opportunities for relevant research that would contribute to more knowledge of GM being gained.

“…There is a considerable body of knowledge and publications (including standards) for practical guidance about how to integrate environmental considerations into design processes via eco-design methods and tools, to design generic [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], and specific (EEE: Electrical and Electronic Equipment) categories of products [11,12]. In addition to this, many published research studies focused on the analysis and development of eco-design methods and the integration of eco-design tools in design processes for generic products [13][14][15][16] and LED lighting products [17,18].…”

“…Eco-design guidelines can be 'converted' into checklists so they can be used at each stage of the design process to check if the eco-design guidelines stated in the Product Design Specifications (PDS) are achieved in each design iteration of the process. There are many handbooks and manuals [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] that provide eco-design guidelines and checklists to reduce the environmental impact of generic or specific categories of products. Eco-design guidelines can also be based on compliance-related directives (e.g., WEEE [39], RoHS [40]).…”

To date, many studies have been carried out to develop new approaches and methods to eco-design products. However, these have not been implemented and adopted by industry as much as they should. A better understanding of real-world industrial eco-design and development processes, and the eco-design tools applied during these, could inform the development of more effective and applicable eco-design methods and tools, for generic as well as for specific product categories (e.g., LED lighting products). This paper addresses this issue by describing and examining a real-world process followed to design and develop a LED lighting product by a lighting manufacturer, via case study research. The case study involved direct participatory observation to gather the data and provided new insights about the stages of the design and development process, as well as the tools applied, which were examined and discussed to inform the improvement of existing methods and tools, or the development of better new methods and tools.
