1) The document reviews and classifies tools that have been developed to evaluate the environmental requirements of products and facilitate integrating environmental evaluations into the product design process. 

2) The tools are classified based on 6 criteria: the environmental assessment method used; whether other product requirements are integrated using a multi-criteria approach; whether the tool has a life cycle perspective; the nature of the results (qualitative or quantitative); the design stages where the tool can be applied; and the methodology used for integration. 

3) The goal is to provide designers a guide to selecting the ecodesign tool best suited for a specific case study by defining a taxonomy based on these classification criteria.
