Implementing life cycle assessment in product development

摘要: The overall aim of this paper is to provide an understanding the environmental issues involved in early stages product development, and capacity Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) techniques address these issues. aims outline problems for designer evaluating benignity a from outset, framework decision support based on performance evaluation at different design process. barriers that prevent developers using LCA are presented, as well opportunities introducing criteria process by meeting designer's information requirements life cycle stages. This can lead in-depth attitudes towards subject area, possible future directions development. This introduces Environmentally Conscious Design method, presents trade-offs between degrees freedom solutions. frameworks strategies also addressed. collects experiences ideas around state-of-the-art eco-design, literature personal experience, provides eco-design assessment strategies. end result presentation define measurement techniques, environment needed throughout system.
