Life Cycle Design Exercise Requirements by the UK Partner 1. Reduction in the total

Life Cycle Design Exercise Requirements by the UK Partner 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 Design Strategy Options - Examples Exercise 2. Selection of low-impact materials •

Life Cycle Design Strategy Options - Examples 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.

Life Cycle Design Strategy Options - Examples Exercise 5. Efficient Distribution System • Reduction

Life Cycle Design Strategy Options - Examples Exercise 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.
