Frage Antworten
Through what stages should product impacts be assessed?
What is are the Environmental inputs or outputs? Raw materials and energy resources
What is Life-Cycle Inventory? Standards which companies have to meet to have a suitable performance of sustainability
What is the standard for Life-Cycle Inventory? BSI and ISO 1400
What is are the Economic inputs or outputs? Products, components or energy that are outputs from other processes
What does a process tree do? Indicates materials and their impact
How does a process tree work? Establishes the inputs and outputs of industrial processes (energy used and energy wasted)
What do the boxes represent? Inputs and outputs of that part of the life cycle
What is Cleaner Design? Designing to reduce the products impact on the environment for its ENTIRE LIFE
What are the key things for designers to consider when designing sustainable products? (hint: there are 6) 1-Easy to take apart 2-Second use or function 3-As few materials and possible 4-Avoid finishes 5-Easy to separate components 6-Mark materials to sort

What are the five factors making up product sustainability in 'The Total Beauty of Sustainable Products'? 1-Cyclic 2-Solar 3-Safe 4-Efficient 5-Social "Carla Sits Sensibly Every Summer"
Describe 'Cyclic' (hint: there are 3 points) -Made from biodegradable or organic materials -Continuously recycles -Decreases waste and pollution
Describe 'Solar' (hint: there are 3 points) -Only use renewable energy -NOT just solar panels -Anything using photo-voltaic cells
Describe 'Safe' (hint: there are 2 points) -All releases are 'food' to other systems -No unnecessary pollution
Describe 'Efficient' (hint: there are 2 points) -90% less energy, materials and water than 1990 -e.g. extracting less raw materials

What stages must be considered in a Life Cycle Assessment? 1-RAW MATERIALS 2-MANUFACTURE 3-DISTRIBUTION 4-USE 5-END OF LIFE
How must RAW MATERIALS be considered in design? -Recycled/recyclable materials? -Fewer materials? -Reduced environmental impact?
How must MANUFACTURE be considered in design? -Fewer components? -Lighter materials? -Materials easier to machine? -Efficient lay planning? -Less energy use? -Simplifying processes
How must DISTRIBUTION be considered in design? -Reduce packaging? -Less polluting transport? -Shorter journey's? -Compact loads? -Alternative fuels?
How did Coca-Cola make its can more sustainable? -Light-weighting design -Reduced end diameter, same body diameter -Same volume of liquid -Less waste -Less lorries -Efficient lay planning
How must USE be considered in design? -More durable product? -Reused or refilled? -'Green' credentials for marketing? -Promote efficient use?
