Sustainable Development of Electrical and Electronic Equipment: User‐driven Green Design for Cell Phones

Abstract

Communication and cooperation with consumers are key to sustainable development. This article considers the environmental and user benefits of producing a sustainable product design that enable users' involvement and encourages the use of sustainable products to enhance environmental value. Depending on users' sensitivity to ecodesign for energy‐related products, six environment evaluation criteria may structure their perceptions of cell phone attributes (monitor, panel, battery, shell, modeling, lens and fingerprint). Innovative methods are needed for effective communication, as well as to encourage consumer participation in designing sustainable products that satisfy their needs. The design of product attributes appears able to enhance the sustainable development of products, through users' awareness of various environmental characteristics. This study thus proposes a unique method to understand product design structures and make cell phone design decisions that feature individualized designs.

Harnessing Difference: A Capability‐Based Framework for Stakeholder Engagement in Environmental Innovation

“…Evidence is presented to suggest that a secondorder value framing capability underpins an organization's capability to learn from its stakeholder engagement. Value framing is the capability to navigate between the different ways of seeing the world that exist between different social groupings so that organizations can think beyond the immediate boundaries of the innovation context they are looking at, to learn to understand the alternative value frames of (Oxborrow and Brindley, 2013); eco-efficiency (Kourula and Halme, 2008, p. 565); reducing environmental impacts of supply chain (Albino et al, 2012); efficient use of raw materials, energy, and other resources (De Marchi and Grandinetti, 2013;Liao et al, 2013); optimized consumption thorough use of renewable and recycled materials (De Marchi and Grandinetti, 2013;Liao et al, 2013)…”

“…The coordinator acts as a "multiplier" of environment-innovative industry solutions Developing engagement processes Bartlett (2009) Community Community profiling (e.g., census information, official stats, mapping and geo-data, interviews and surveys) can "go beyond the "surface meaning" of consultation data in order to uncover the "hidden" wants and needs" (p. Hoffmann, 2007;Jamali, Yianni, and Abdallah, 2011;Mathur, Price, and Austin, 2008;McDonald and Young, 2012;Spena and De Chiara, 2012). Users in particular need to be better incorporated into design processes by being involved earlier and more frequently (Liao, Lou, and Gao, 2013).…”

“…Financial performance (Dangelico, Pontrandolfo, and Pujari, 2013;Young, Hwang, Mcdonald, and Oates, 2010); market opportunities (Dangelico et al, 2013;Oxborrow and Brindley, 2013); access to new market segments (Gonzalez-Padron and Nason, 2009); increased revenues (Carrillo-Hermosilla et al, 2010); increased demand for products and services (Gonzalez-Padron and Nason, 2009); increased market share (Roy and Whelan, 1992); efficient processes (Lee and Kim, 2011); cost savings (Carrillo-Hermosilla et al, 2010;Gonzalez-Padron and Nason, 2009;Liao et al, 2013;Oxborrow and Brindley, 2013); pooling resources (Yarahmadi and Higgins, 2012); profitability (Kiron et al, 2013)…”

Research on the Combination Mode of Modern Product and Industrial Design under the Green Design Background

“…Therefore, multi-function products in actual use process tend to deviate from the original intention of product design, to reach the expected purpose. Losing interest in recent years, consumers for the multi-function products, not blindly pursue products of multi-functional, but pay more attention to the quality of the products, need more material function and spiritual general function of the perfect combination of products that tend to functional specialization simplification that hopes the product operation is simple, using a fast [1][2][3].…”

Conductive Thermoplastic Starch (TPS) Composite Filled with Waste Iron Filings

“…In the case of starch-based bioplastics, which have a limited conductivity with appropriate electrolytes, such as ammonium nitrate, this emerges as particularly reasonable [11]. This would offer more guarantees for the potential application in the chassis of cell phones as a conductive yet sustainable, material [12] or other possibilities, such as conductive packaging, which have still now been proposed with complex materials, such as polyaniline filled with titanium dioxide nanowires [13].…”
