Abstract
The paper describes the requirements of product designers concerning methods for environmental evaluation. It argues that indicators can be used for rough environmental evaluations and presents experience gained with the indicator-based Oil Point Method (OPM). This method is illustrated by means of three examples: A vacuum cleaner, two sweaters and a passenger car. The quality of the results is compared with two other methods for environmental evaluation.
