  1. Topic 3 Green Design Principles of Green Design Life Cycle Analysis Strategies for Green Design Presentation by: Name

  2. Task • Working in pairs/groups and using the following slides and their titles, you are going to research and complete each of the tasks • Definitions and detailed explanations are required supported by examples • Add a bibliography to your slide show and give sources for any images used in the slide show

  3. Green Design • Designing objects, environments and services that will help with sustaining the economical, social and mostly ecological state.

  4. Renewable Resources • A natural resource that this constantly replaced/replenished by natural processes at a rate that is faster or the same as the rate of consumption.

  5. Non-renewable Resources • A natural resource that cannot be replaced/replenished at a rate that can sustain the consumption rate.

  6. Reasons for Green Design • Icreasing efficiency in the use of materials, energy and other resources. • Minimizing damage/pollution. • Maximizing product life. • Consumers can continue using the product as usual but can reuse old products / sort trash for recycle.

  7. “Take back” legislation • It holds manufacturers responsible for the environmentally safe recycling or disposal of their end-of-life products. • Manufacturers are expected to provide a plan to ensure that such products are collected and processed.

  8. People’s Attitude to Green Issues • Eco-warriors actively demonstrate on environmental issues • Eco-champions champion environmental issues within organisations. • Eco-fans enthusiastically adopt environmentally friendly practises as consumers • Eco-phobes actively resent talk of environmental protection.

  9. Eco-Footprint • It is the foot print of all the materials / you use and that have an impact on the environment.

  10. Life Cycle Analysis • Lice cycle analysis is the viewing and consideration of the product through all the stages of its life. When look at the product we need to see what life cycle it has and if the Four Rs fit in it.

  11. Eco Labelling • A label on a product that shows what eco friendly process / materials are used in the product itself or its manufacturing process.

  12. Design for Manufacture (DfM) • It is design considering and concerning the cost and difficulty of making the product. Also specifically to be more cost, energy and time effective in the long run with the product being built on a large scale.

  13. Design for Materials • Design keeping in mind the cost, availability and quantity of materials used.

  14. Design for Assembly • A process where products are designed keeping in mind ease, cost and time for the product to be assembled.

  15. Reuse, Repair, Reconditioning & Recycling • Reuse is when you take a product at the end of its life cycle and use it again for its original purpose. • Repair is fixing a damaged / defective product for reuse. • Reconditioning is the fixing and restoration of old products for reuse. • Recycling is when you salvage the parts of a product at the end of its life cycle to make something new out of them.

  16. Recycling Materials • Plastics – Plastic Bags, Bottled Water. • Paper – Newspaper, Envelopes, Cardboard. • Metal – Tin Cans, Razors.

  17. Design for Disassembly • Designing a product taking into account that someday it will need to be recycled / repaired, and with that in mind creating something that will be easy, quick and cheap to disassemble for recycling / repairs.

  18. Strategies of Design for Disassembly • Designing components made from one material • Using thermoplastic adhesives that lose their properties when reheated • Designing snap fittings instead of welding and glueing
