First,some fashional user_based design concepts were reviewd, and their shortcomings and disadvantages were futher analysed in today environmental sustainability context.Then taking into account of users behavior,emotion and concept impacts enacted throughout the use phase of products, a series of strategies were outlined,such as user-product relationship empathic design, service_based local common products design, edification design and participatory product redesign. These strategies will be helpful to prolong product lifecycle through establishing intimate emotion connection, reduce resource consumption through lowering the total amount of personal products,deeply change users’ daily behavior and enhance users’ environmental consciousness through educational function of product semiotic,and make users have a substantial role in product redesign to strengthen the reuse of the abandoned parts through open design and facilitating disassembly.
