Measuring implementation and performance of ecodesign in the electronics sector

From the beginning of the ecodesign discipline it has been claimed by academic that its adoption in industrial contexts leads to improvement of competitive advantage by the organizations adopting it. At the same time, it seems that after more than ten years of ecodesign developments, the discipline is not as widespread as was expected and the benefits are still unclear. This paper empirically explores the rates of ecodesign implementation in the electronics sector and defines the different strategies adopted by organizations when doing it.
