Abstract
This is the synthesis of the presentation of the session entitled “Sustainable design of complex systems, products and services with user integration into design” of the LCM-2017 conference. This session was interested in sustainable design which is of high interest for a large range of stakeholders. Indeed, customer’s expectations, regulations and market pressure are some drivers that moves design teams towards the consideration of sustainable dimensions over the life cycle of an industrial system. Integration of users into the product design development becomes more and more crucial, for example, through service oriented offers, involving the users as effective actors of the product design. One of the weak point associated being that users may have bad or unexpected behaviour during use phase, inducing then increased impacts and placing the use phase as the main contributor. New approaches, methods, and tools used by or for industrial stakeholders in order to face such challenges were presented and discussed. The session started with product oriented presentations and proposals, and slightly moved to the concepts of service oriented design and integration of human into the loop.

PODeST is benefiting from synergy effects by making use of mass and energy balance data already acquired during the development and planning phase
The topics addressed in this session were completed with nearly twenty posters, addressing and illustrating the will to integrate environmental considerations early in the product design phase fitting the circular economy paradigm
Summary
Martin Kirchner (Evonik Technology & Infrastructure), presented the PODeST (Process Optimization and Development through Sustainability) project in which sustainability becomes a parameter for process development and optimisation. Identification of the potential opportunities and risks associated with new products and processes becomes of high importance, and Evonik’s Life Cycle Management
