Abstract
The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) has recognized that industry and other key stakeholders need to embrace ecodesign thinking and practice. A national ecodesign initiative for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has been proposed to provide a structured approach of engaging and enabling these stakeholders. Design Wales were commissioned to work on Stage 1 of the initiative. This paper introduces the proposed models for implementing the ecodesign initiative in Wales along with the next stage of the development process.
