The main objective of this course is to achieve competence and academic skills in the field of eco design and sustainable product development. The goal is mastery of the methodologies to define strategies to improve products and reduce the harmful effects of products on the environment, and understanding of the impact of products on the environment throughout its life cycle and innovative approach to obtaining environmentally improved products.

By completing this course student acquires ability to: • analyse life cycle of a product using tools for life cycle assessment • implement ecodesign strategies into design process and product development • suggest measures for improvement of environmental performances of the product • implement legislative in the field of ecology into design process • design and develop sustainable product

Introduction into Eco-design, basic concepts and terminology, the impact of products on the environment. Eco-Design strategy, product modeling, recommendations for the selection of materials with low impact on the environment, the impact of production technologies, transport and packaging, as well the phase of product use and product end-of-life on the ecological impacts. The assessment of product life cycle, methodology of environmental impact, practical examples. Environmental communication and the EU measures for environmental protection, directive, eco-labels and declarations. Application of Eco-Design for the improvement of existing products. Design for disposal and recycling of waste products, design for waste minimization, design for dismantling of old equipment.

Terminology of Eco Design. Examples of impacts of products on the environment. Examples of eco-design strategies. Examples of analysis of product life cycle in terms of Eco-Design. Examples of improvements of existing products. Examples of disposal and recycling of used goods. Eco Design computer tools, training and work in a computer tool EcoDesign Pilot + Assistant + EEG, obtaining an improved product through several stages which include the identification of products, Eco Design strategies and concrete measures for improvement.
