Approximate Life Cycle Assessment of Design Concepts for Product Groups
Many companies are beginning to change the way they develop products due to increasing awareness of green product development. To copy with this trend, designers are being asked to incorporate environmental criteria into the design process. Recently Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used to support the decision-making for product design and the best alternative can be selected based on its estimat...
متن کاملUsing Life-cycle Assessment for Sustainable Consumption
The 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg called for a comprehensive set of programs focusing on sustainable consumption and production. According to world leaders, these programs should rely on life cycle analysis (LCA) to promote sustainable patterns of production and consumption. Cleaner production is a wellestablished activity and it uses LCA. UNEP, the European Unio...
متن کاملIntegrated Sustainable Life Cycle Design: A Review
Product design is one of the most important sectors influencing global sustainability, as almost all the products consumed by people are outputs of the product development process. In particular, early design decisions can have a very significant impact on sustainability. These decisions not only relate to material and manufacturing choices but have a far-reaching effect on the product’s entire...
متن کاملLife Cycle Sustainable Development: An Extension of the Product Life Cycle Assessment Framework to Address Questions of Sustainable Consumption and Development
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the flagship analytical tool in the Industrial Ecology “toolbox”, with a history of 30 years of practical application in both industry and government, and a global and growing body of practitioners in industry and academia. LCA points to opportunities for: a) consumers to select products which are “greener” (that is, less environmentally damaging from an overall p...
متن کاملModular Product Design: A Life-Cycle View
This paper discusses the incorporation of modularization into mechanical designs. The research uses a definition of modularity that incorporates the potential of modularity based not only on the form/function structure of a product but also life-cycle processes such as manufacture, assembly, service, and recycling. Modularization, due to the functional independence it creates, has been called t...
