Eco-innovation by Applying Design-Around concepts on Eco-ARIZ method

The study applied ARIZ method on sustainable design, and inserted design-around concepts on Eco-ARIZ. It started from collecting enough data of the patents, and analyzed the related data. The prior data must match with the first part “Formulation of system conflicts” of Eco-ARIZ tool, and transform into the information of Eco-ARIZ. Then, it must find the independent claims from the patents, and use the contradiction removing concepts with the design-around concepts to solve. After solving, it can help designers to find the possible resources from substances or fields in the environment. Finally, it can use Ideal Final Result (IFR) to check the innovative idea(s). An example is illustrated to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed paper.
