Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), there is a need to obtain an estimate of the impacts associated with social, environmental, and economic sustainable design. In fact, despite the various contributions to this effort in the literature in recent years, the community is still far from a reliable and shared standard. Consequently, this lack has a negative impact on social, environmental and sustainable innovative design.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect valuable contributions proposing approaches, methods and tools supporting eco-innovation in environmentally, socially and economically sustainable product/process design.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- The development of taxonomies of social, environmental and economic impacts to lead sustainable innovative design.
- The use of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to determine the repercussions that an innovative solution could have on social, environmental and economic impacts.
- The integration with artifical intelligence (AI) to support sustainable innovative design.
- The use of knowledge sources, especially patents, to support sustainable innovative design trough the technological forecasting.
- The quantitative assessment of the social, environmental and economic sustainability of the innovative solutions in the future perspective, e.g., through propsective life cycle assessment (LCA).
- Sustainable Supply Chain.
- Low-carbon technology.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
