Abstract Eco-design initiatives are gaining importance due to changing environmental conditions and the industry is developing different solutions. The purpose of this paper is the identification and evaluation of barriers related to the implementation of eco-design initiatives in pulp and paper industry. This study identifies the key barriers through literature research and provides information flow dependencies using design structure matrix through a case study of a company in Finland. This method differs from traditional management tools because it focuses on representing information flow rather than workflow. The findings provide policy recommendations to policy makers for managing eco-design implementation.
