The eco-design needs to take into consideration the full life-cycle of the product with special focus on dismantling and second life of the components. Eco-design of products bases on the interaction of value chain stakeholders and is part of the LCPA (Life Cycle Performance Assessment). Different product and process concepts are compared and assessed to find the optimal ecological (LCA) and economical (LCC) solution.
LCA-LCC for eco-design
Objective
Methodology
For LCC (Life Cycle Cost calculation) the NPV (Net Present Value) is the key part. All other considerations are built around. The Screening LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is the implemented assessment method for the ecological assessment. Both methods are part of the BAL.LCPA software. BAL.LCPA is an commercial tool which will be connected to the DigiPrime platform as a service. Assessment results will be generated and will be returned to the platform based on process and product information.
The service intends to prove that new products made from used raw materials will lead to a better and greener environment.
