Various eco-design tools have been developed which can be classified into quantitative, semiquantitative, and qualitative tools. Practitioners are reluctant to utilize quantitative tools in light of their time-demanding nature. Among the qualitative tools, checklists are simple tools that allow a quick and effective evaluation and consideration of environmental impacts over the entire life cycle of a product. A profound and better understanding of eco-design checklists is needed so that practitioners can apply them appropriately to their product development context. Various types of eco-design checklists are analyzed in the present study based on their attributes and classified in a structured way for their efficient utilization in product development contexts.
