Abstract

Environmentally-conscious product design using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) deserves the utmost attention to save and sustain our planet’s lives, flora and fauna. The choice of materials during the design stage needs to address environmental concerns from their sourcing to production and ultimately going up to the disposal stage. A good majority of industrial products are still not designed, focusing the environmental concerns. The inclusion and practice of the LCA approach during product designing are in a nascent stage not only in India but even over the rest of the world. Nowadays, polymers share a major chunk of the volume of goods produced worldwide and thus have a significant effect on the environment. The available design books or nomographs guide the selection of materials considering several criteria but not considering the related environmental issues. This paper attempts to bridge this gap only for the selection of polymeric materials by providing some easily interpretable and visually ready reckoners in the form of 3-D nomographs. These 3-D nomographs, graphical representations developed using the Solidworks software, echo the material’s Environmental Impact (EI) potential on an axis with some two material properties (e.g., tensile strength and density) on the other two axes. 3-D nomographs are suitably transformed into 2-D nomographs without the loss of any information. EIs on these nomographs were computed using SimaPro software. The potential EI of any product and the overall environmental burden due to them can be significantly reduced, and more so when they are mass-produced, by selecting the right materials using these nomographs. Such an approach will help in fulfilling long-term sustainable development goals of society and the globe.
工业产品环保设计中高分子材料选择规范
使用生命周期评估(LCA)的环保产品设计值得最大的关注,以拯救和维持我们星球上的生命,动植物。在设计阶段的材料选择需要解决从采购到生产,最终到处置阶段的环境问题。绝大多数工业产品仍然没有设计,关注环境问题。在产品设计中纳入和实践LCA方法,不仅在印度,甚至在世界其他地区都处于初级阶段。如今,聚合物在全球生产的产品中占据了很大一部分,因此对环境产生了重大影响。现有的设计书籍或规范指导材料的选择,考虑了几个标准,但没有考虑到相关的环境问题。本文试图通过提供一些易于解释和直观的3-D图形形式的计算器,仅为聚合物材料的选择弥合这一差距。这些使用Solidworks软件开发的三维nomographs图形表示,在一个轴上反映了材料的环境影响(EI)潜力,在另外两个轴上反映了材料的一些两种特性(例如抗拉强度和密度)。在不丢失任何信息的情况下,将三维图适当地转换为二维图。使用SimaPro软件计算这些nomographs上的ei。通过使用这些nomographs选择合适的材料,任何产品的潜在EI和由此带来的整体环境负担都可以显著降低,在大规模生产时更是如此。这种做法将有助于实现社会和全球的长期可持续发展目标。
