| Abstract: | Previously, a method for sustainable product development (MSPD) has been developed based on backcasting from basic sustainability principles. This study introduces templates for sustainable product development (TSPDs) as a complement. The idea is to help product development teams to arrive faster and more easily at an overview of the major sustainability challenges and opportunities of a product category in the early development phases. This approach is presented through an evaluation case study in which the TSPDs were used for a sustainability assessment of televisions at the Matsushita Electric Group. |
