“…The latest research on eco-design focuses on evaluation, human factors, and regulations. Studies focusing on evaluation aim to support product component selection for ecodesign (Chun et al, 2018), in order to improve the quality and increase the quantity of recycled aluminum (Soo et al, 2018), to improve the production process (Galli et al, 2018;Piccinno et al, 2018), to manage the production system (Auer et al, 2017;Kiurski et al, 2017) or to support project development (Tao et al, 2018).
