The IEEE EHS and the Inverse Manufacturing
Forum are pleased to announce EcoDesign'99 : the First International Symposium on
Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing to be held on February 1-3,
1999 at Tokyo, Japan. Recent needs for environmentally Consciousness force us to establish
closed-loop life cycles of products. Inverse Manufacturing concept for environmentally
consciousness, which integrates indispensable elements for developing closed-loop product
life cycles (especially product remanufacturing and component reuse), such as life cycle
design (product design and process design), maintenance methodologies, advanced reuse and
recycling technologies, enterprise strategies, and public policies. The objectives of this
symposium are to present these topics pertinent to engineers, managers, and others engaged
in research, development, and manufacture of electronics, electrical and mechatronics
products. In addition to new approaches in research, this symposium emphasizes practical
case studies from the industry related to technical, strategic, economic dimensions.
