This study develops a structure for an assessment model for green design from the product-life-cycle standpoint. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is not only an environmental assessment concept and method but also an important evaluation standard of the ISO 14000. Therefore, applying the concepts of LCA and incorporating an assessment model and strategy into green-product design and development will help to develop the maximum environmental efficiency of green products. The methodology and procedures of this study adopt a review of the literature and research to develop a structure for green-design strategy under the LCA. Furthermore, the study establishes an assessment model for an improved idea for environmental design for designers while green-product development is in process. The integration of green-design strategy established by the analysis of the product-life cycle provides designers with effective methods and tools for green-product design. This study analyzes and establishes design principles under the life cycle for environmental industrial products to support industrial designers in guiding the direction of product development. In addition, the practical application under the assessment model in the study pragmatically ascertains the proper directions for green products in the future and clearly develops a green-design strategy for a company.
