Eco-Design Application to Drive Sustainable Manufacturing

Eco-design is an eco-innovation as an early integration of environmental aspects in development processes to be sustainable decision making. Reduction of electrical power consumption is one of sustainable manufacturing aims to reduce fossil carbon emission. Such aims can be gotten by application of eco-design for both product design and technological path. Power meters (Kwh) are installed to monitor electrical power consumption of welding machine consumption for oil filter shells manufacturing in a developing country. Power curves of welding process are drawn to find the area under the curve to be further studied to be an insight that enables application of sustainable technological path and eco-design. To see the ability of the current design to include environmental protection aspects as engineering requirements to decrease power consumption and consequently fossil carbon emissions. Current design is studied for robust extraction of interchangeability features, such features can be employed to certain multiple lifecycle of the product at the end-of-life where another lifecycle can be certain by purposing the end-of-life product to be used for the same function or different one. Both of disassembly and eco-design are tried to be applied together to help using of end-of-life shells to service as alternatives products which can be helpful, especially for developing countries of nonindustrial infrastructures. Sustainable manufacturing and both of power consumption and fossil fuel and CO2 emission decreasing are of strong relationship that is proven based on literature of sustainable manufacturing review.
