Life Cycle DesignExercise Outline
Outline
1. Problem Statement: Designing a new product – “Silla Verde”
2. Review of the major life-cycle impacts of “Silla Roja” and
requirements by the UK partners.
3. Derivation of LCD options using previously provided
information.
4. Conclusion

Life Cycle DesignProblem Statement: „Silla Verde“
Exercise
• Opportunity to market one of their products on the high premium price, environmentally conscious market.
• 5 major product specifications required by the retailers in Europe.
• Improvement of the environmental performance of “Silla Roja” and design of a new product: “Silla Verde”.

Life Cycle DesignRequirements by the UK Partner
Exercise
1. Reduction in the total energy requirement.
2. Limitation on the use of environmentally unfriendly materials
and materials depleting natural resources from sensitive
areas.
3. Process adaptations regarding the surface treatment.
4. Adaptations relating to assembly for reparability and
reusability.
5. Improvements of the life span such as enhancement of
durability.

Life Cycle DesignDevelopment of Life Cycle Design Strategies
Exercise
Given the previous findings regarding the life
cycle impacts and the retailers’ criteria:
What can be the strategy option(s) to be followed
for the design of “Silla Verde”?

Exercise
There could be some more design opportunities which are not covered by the retailers’ criteria!
What can be the other design options that can improve environmental performance of “Silla Verde” considering the whole life cycle?

Exercise
2. Selection of low-impact materials
• Purchase of non-tropical wood.
• Elimination of volatile organic solvents.
• Selection of low-impact textile material Elimination of use of chlorinated artificial fibres.
• Elimination of use of leather Elimination of chrome in wastewater
• Elimination of vinyl chloride glues.
3. Reduction of material usage
• Total energy content along the LC < 5 .
4. Optimisation of production techniques
In Workshop II
• Decrease in the emissions (e.g. VOCs) during coating and varnishing.
• Optimisation of the use of chemicals during the coating of wood.
• Shift from use of glued joints to use of nails for the assembly.

5. Efficient Distribution System
• Reduction of the weight of packaging by decreasing the size & amount.
• Use of recyclable packaging (one of these: cardboard, paper, polyethylene, polypropylene).
• Improvement in the logistics for distribution
• Choosing an energy efficient transport system (shipping instead of air freight transport).
• Reduction in transportation distance Local purchase? European market?
7. Optimisation of the initial life-time
• Guaranteeing the use of the furniture for ~30 years through replacement of parts Modular Design?
• Options for replacing the chair-top after a certain wearing period.
8. Optimisation of end-of-life system
• Creation of second-hand market through collaboration with local bodies.
• Search for environmentally friendly disposal routes.
