Abstract

The eco-efficiency assessment is a powerful metric to introduce two components of sustainability assessment in the industrial companies' decisions making: the concurrent consideration of economic and environmental performance. The application of the eco-efficiency concept and of the normative documents is not an easy task, mainly because there are myriad environmental related indicator to consider and acquire. This barrier is higher in the realm of plastic injection molding, where each mold is unique, requiring a recurrent effort of data retrieving for such one-of-a-kind molds. To overcome this barrier, an integrated framework to support the eco-efficiency calculation on a life cycle perspective for a specific type of products, injection molds, is proposed in this chapter. It retrieves a small but representative selected set of eco-efficiency performance indicators. A tool was developed to apply the proposed framework and the results of its application to four real industrial case studies is discussed.

多视角生态效率评估促进塑料零件生产的可持续性

生态效率评估是一个强有力的指标，引入可持续发展评估的两个组成部分，在工业公司的决策:同时考虑经济和环境绩效。生态效率概念和规范性文件的应用不是一件容易的事情，主要是因为有无数的环境相关指标需要考虑和获取。在塑料注射成型领域，这种障碍更高，因为每个模具都是独一无二的，需要为这种独一无二的模具进行反复的数据检索。为了克服这一障碍，本章提出了一个集成框架，以支持特定类型产品的生命周期角度上的生态效率计算，注塑模具。它检索了一个小而有代表性的生态效率绩效指标。开发了一种工具来应用所提出的框架，并讨论了将其应用于四个实际工业案例研究的结果。
