A product design support method and system are disclosed in which assuming that a globally distributed commodity is disposed of as a waste product by different recycle methods in different regions or countries, the recycle cost and environmental load accrued by different processing methods are quantified using the product design information thereby to assist in the design improvement. The product information and the regional recycle characteristics are input to determine the recycle method by region. Further, the recycle cost/environmental load by region are quantified based on the product design information using the basic unit information of the recycle cost and environmental load by region.
