It has emerged as a key approach for interior design companies seeking to become environmentally sustainable and globally competitive. Nowadays, in order to face increasing competition, interior design businesses must be different not only through innovation, but also crucially by positioning themselves with respect to eco-design practice, in order to improve green product innovation. Malaysian interior design companies are particularly lacking of eco-design practice and weak in green product innovation. Consequently, the interior design business sector is under incredible strain. It has failed to provide maximum advantages and to minimize economic and environmental problems of Malaysia. Even though the significant effects of eco-design practice on green product innovation in developed countries have been observed, the necessity of this strategic orientation is still overlooked by the researchers in the underdeveloped and emerging countries, especially in Malaysia. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of eco-design practice on green product innovation in the Malaysian interior design companies. This study used a quantitative method, and a cross-sectional study was carried out through self-administered questionnaires. The target population of this study was the designers in interior design companies in Malaysia. Stratified random sampling was used to select 285 designers of interior design companies as respondents. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0. This study found that eco-design practice of waste material recycling (WMR) had significant direct effects on the green product innovation in Malaysian interior design companies. Additionally, this study found that eco-design practice of manufacturing (EDM) had significant direct effects on the green product innovation in Malaysian interior design companies. Furthermore, this study found that eco-design practice of product end of life (EJDP) had also significant direct effects on the green product innovation in Malaysian interior design companies. The empirical findings of the present study provide the basis for recommendations for interior design companies in enhancing their green product innovation, and for policy-makers to design environment friendly interior design companies support programs. Moreover, this study tried to establish that the major challenges of adopting eco-design practices are unsuccessful integration of eco-design, lack of expertise in managing change in design procedures, and lack of technical know how about eco-design practices. Lastly the findings show that eco-design practices have a positive influence on green product innovation with the greatest impact being on environmental impact reduction.

| summary | Eco-design practice is a new approach to green product innovation. It has emerged as a key approach for interior design companies seeking to become environmentally sustainable and globally competitive. Nowadays, in order to face increasing competition, interior design businesses must be different not only through innovation, but also crucially by positioning themselves with respect to eco-design practice, in order to improve green product innovation. Malaysian interior design companies are particularly lacking of eco-design practice and weak in green product innovation. Consequently, the interior design business sector is under incredible strain. It has failed to provide maximum advantages and to minimize economic and environmental problems of Malaysia.
