Abstract :
This paper analyses essential background of an recently emerging trend of eco-design; global eco-product policies (legislations), market competition and eco-supply-chain management. In the light of this trend, an on-going project of international standardization is described, by highlighting its basic strategy; "load-sharing with data-sharing", as well as its expected contributions to worldwide harmonization and solutions for technical/information gaps to overcome.
