A survey on sustainable product development

Abstract

The emergent field of sustainable product development has been rapidly evolving in several academic publications. Furthermore, sustainable product development is the basis for innovative products (and services). The analysis begins by identifying published studies within the last five years. A systematic mapping of the field evolution overtime is performed by identifying areas of current research interests and potential directions for future research. The findings will provide a roadmap for further investigations in this field.The emergent field of sustainable product development has been rapidly evolving in several academic publications.
