“Circular economy” and “eco-design” are concepts that people not only understand but also demand. The scarcity of resources and their fluctuating cost forces us to transform linear production systems into circular ones, which implies the entire life cycle of the product. This study arises from this fact, to analyze the impact of eco-design on the circular economy. We developed a bibliometric analysis in the research community of Spain, analyzing the frequencies, typology, and evolution of knowledge. We define a conceptual framework of the two concepts, to reaffirm our results after applying the analysis in a very deep way. We carefully reviewed 86 articles that adhered to the defined variables. Both quantitative and co-occurrence analyses have been performed. This makes it possible to differentiate three clear fields of knowledge – the cradle-to-grave approach, energy efficiency and emission reduction, and the circular economy and eco-design group. The results are quite clear in the Spanish sphere, and it can be stated that there has been instability until 2016, that is, until the action of the European Commission. There are collaboration networks with other countries. The co-occurrence analysis indicates that, until 2016, these terms have given way to those of “circular economy” and “climate change,” without neglecting “eco-design,” as a tool for action, that, although it was published before, it is shown that they are complementary.

La gente no solo entiende, sino que demanda cada vez más conceptos como ‘economía circular’ y ‘ecodiseño’. La escasez de recursos y su fluctuante coste obligan a transformar los sistemas de producción lineales en circulares, lo que afecta a todo el ciclo de vida del producto. De este hecho, surge este estudio, para analizar el impacto del ecodiseño en la economía circular. Desarrollamos un análisis bibliométrico de la investigación realizada en la comunidad investigadora de España, analizando las frecuencias, la tipología y la evolución del conocimiento. Definimos un marco conceptual de los dos conceptos para reafirmar nuestros resultados tras aplicar el análisis de una manera muy profunda. Revisamos con detenimiento 86 artículos que se atenían a las variables definidas. Se realiza un análisis cuantitativo y un análisis de coocurrencia. Esto permite diferenciar tres campos de conocimiento: el enfoque “de la cuna a la tumba”, la eficiencia energética y la reducción de emisiones, y el grupo de la economía circular y el ecodiseño. Los resultados son bastantes claros en el ámbito español, y puede determinarse que ha habido inestabilidad hasta 2016, es decir, hasta la actuación de la Comisión Europea. Hay redes de colaboración con otros países. El análisis de coocurrencia, indica que estos términos, hasta 2016, han dejado paso claramente a los de economía circular y cambio climático, sin dejar de lado el de ecodiseño, como herramienta de actuación, pero que, aunque se publicó antes, se demuestra que son complementarios. Finalmente, queda claro que, a nuestro país, le queda todavía un camino por recorrer en la investigación de todo lo que supone la economía circular.
