Application of product sustainability evaluation tool (ProSET) on car seat design configurations

In current global sustainability trends, so far, measuring on sustainability impacts of a product lifecycle is necessary as a preparation towards more sustainable products in the future. However, most of the proposed tools in literature have not been used effectively as a tool in decision-making on...

This paper reports on the application of Product Sustainability Evaluation Tool (ProSET) that was developed to assess the sustainability level of a product at the design stage. In this study, ProSET was used to evaluate car seat design configurations that taking into consideration various factors required for ensuring sustainability.
