Systematic review identifies gaps in early design methods for electrical and electronic equipment, suggesting integration for sustainability.

This research aims to explore early-stage design methods in electrical and electronic equipment to enhance sustainability and circularity.
Systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines, resulting in analysis of 30 papers.
Comparative analysis of early design methods structured within the Double Diamond framework.
Bibliometric mapping and cluster analysis to identify gaps and thematic concentrations in EEE literature.
Early design methods prioritize ideation and prototyping but lack circularity principles like modularity and disassembly.
General product design literature integrates lifecycle analysis better but still misses EEE-specific sustainability challenges.
The study calls for enhanced interdisciplinary integration to align early design with circular economy objectives.

Hidalgo-Crespo et al. (2026) studied this question.
