Until now, the cork sector has not taken advantage of the properties of this material and has been fully oriented towards traditional applications such as stoppers for wines and other beverages. The diversification of the cork market, through developing new products with higher added value, is the reason why eco-ideation (using different creativity techniques) can be helpful in creating new products and solutions. The process of introducing eco-ideation was carried out during two interdisciplinary creative sessions and a product design stage. The results of the process were successful in terms of participation and the quantity and quality of ideas, which were characterised by searching, experimentation, participation and knowledge sharing. The versatility of cork fits perfectly with the creative methods of eco-ideation, as cork's good physical properties allow the diverse generation of new ideas for both applications and markets. The concepts generated in this study are in line with the approach of recognising cork's status as a natural, pure and noble material, taking advantage of the good properties of cork, and giving buildings unique traits due to the singular aesthetic of cork. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/CUD2015-11 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 5.715 2016 ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL 6 / 49 = 0.122 2016 Q1 T1 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 5 / 31 = 0.161 2016 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 17 / 229 = 0.074 2016 Q1 T1 1.659 2016 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2016 Q1 Strategy and Management 2016 Q1 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2016 Q1 Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering 2016 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion López-Forniés, Ignacio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6352-2023 Boschmonart-Rives, Jesús Gabarrell, Xavier 5002 305 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
