DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS UPON PRODUCT END-OF-LIFE OPTIONS
Journal Title: Journal of Industrial Design and Engineering Graphics - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents some considerations about the necessity of evaluating the environmental impact of a product during its entire life. The present situation (economic, social and ecologic) imposes solutions to reduce this impact as a result of an analysis performed during all stages of the life cycle. This paper focuses on design solutions with consequences in the last stage, the end-of-life. Reusing products, with, or without remanufacturing and recycling the materials from products that cannot be reused represent some options analysed in this paper. The end-of-life options should be known even from the beginning of the design process and should be included as design objectives or, at least as constrictions. Considering them as human needs would naturally include them in the requirements list.
