| Popis: | This project focuses on the design of a field hockey stick based on reducing the impact upon the environment mindset. In this way, at the beginning of the work, this sport and the material needed to practice it is presented. The development of products that respect the environment is one of the main goals currently in companies and that’s because day after day more people are aware of the problem that we have been causing for many years to our planet environmentally and now that must begin to change radically. A company have eco-efficient products or services when it can offer that products or services at a competitive price in such a way that it satisfies human needs, increase the quality of their life and reduce the environmental impact of its products or services. So, the design and production of products that respect the environment is the key for companies. The most used methodologies to design products that respect the environment are Design for Environment and Life Cycle Assessment. By integrating DFE mindset into the design and development process, companies achieve to create eco-innovative and ecoresponsible products and services. Besides, Life Cycle thinking is closely related to DFE methodology as they share values and objectives. Regarding DFE methodology, the step-by-step approach is to design a product that meets requirements for quality, cost, manufacturability and consumer appeal, while at the same time minimizing environmental impacts. On the other hand, Life Cycle Assessment is a standard quantitative tool defined by the ISO 14040 series for analysing the environmental impacts of a product during all stages of its life cycle. These are the reasons why I will use these two methodologies during this project to design that new product, Design for Environment and Life Cycle Assessment and in one of the following sections they will be depth defined, more specifically in the theoretical content section |
