Abstract
In the last few years the environmental focus in the product producing industry has shifted from the manufacturing processes to the products themselves, as these are accountable for all the environmental impacts in all life–cycle phases. The environmental properties of a product are determined in the product development stage; it is necessary to supply the product development function with methods/tools to assess the environmental consequences in product life–cycle and to support selection of environmentally friendly solutions.Keywords
