2. Sustainable development
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

3. Sustainable development goals

4. Life Cycle Assessment Methodology
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a technique for assessing the potential environmental aspects and potential aspects associated with a product (or service), by:
compiling an inventory of relevant inputs and outputs,
evaluating the potential environmental impacts associated with those inputs and outputs,
interpreting the results of the inventory and impact phases in relation to the objectives of the study

5. Life Cycle Assessment Methodology
Advantages of LCA include:
Detailed and flexible
Directly accounts for environmental impacts including scarcity and toxicity
Limitations of LCA:
Expensive
Requires value judgment on environmental priorities
Requires extensive detailed knowledge to conduct and interpret

6. EcoDesign
Ecodesign means producing goods and services that meet your customers' needs while:
using the minimum levels of resources
having a minimum impact on the environment and society

7. EcoDesign Benefits Limitations
lower production and labour costs and greater efficiency
reduced material and resource costs
lower waste disposal costs
improved functionality and quality of products
increased market share
improved environmental performance
improved customer and supplier relationships
easier and lower cost of compliance with legislation
easier disassembly and increased potential for recycling
most suitable product design life
a better working environment and business culture for your staff
a useful marketing tool and encouraging innovation and product development
consumers' low level of understanding on ecodesign
cost - and whether your clients or customers are prepared to pay that cost
difficulties to clearly demonstrate the benefits to buyers so that they choose your product
risks of trying new materials and approaches
finding alternative ways to make money out of longer-life products
difficulties using ecodesign on mainstream products instead of just high quality and niche products
targeting the right stage in the product's lifecycle or supply chain so you get the greatest environmental paybacks for your investment
integrating principles across business approaches and supply chains where the opportunities can be greater than singling out 'eco-products', which in some cases don't succeed

8. EDIP(Environmental Development of Industrial Products) methodology
EDIP methodology proposes the use of LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), previously described, being this the key tool to help in the decision making concerning environmental issues by the designer. Thus, while the LCA is generally considered as an environmental assessment tool, the EDIP makes an effort to adapt and integrate it into the product development process
The method consists of 6 phases:
Goal definition - identifying the specific assessment task to be solved in product development and the potential environmental scenarios related to the decisions taken during that stage of product development
Scope definition - identifying the methodological requirements for the assessment task in question and the scope of the systems to be studied
Inventory analysis - compiling an inventory of the environmental exchanges from the studied systems
Impact assessment - assessing the resource consumption and environmental impacts of the environmental exchanges identified in the inventory
Sensitivity analysis - identifying which parameters are essential, their uncertainty and the significance of their variation
Decision support - providing support to the different types of decisions to be taken during product development

9. Life Cycle Cost Analysis
Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is a tool to determine the most cost-effective option among different competing alternatives to purchase, own, operate, maintain and, finally, dispose of an object or process, when each is equally appropriate to be implemented on technical grounds.

10. Life Cycle Cost Analysis
Disadvantages
Time consuming - Life cycle cost analysis is too long because of changes of new technology
Costly – The longer the project lifetime, the more operating cost will be incurred
Data relevance – LCCA accuracy is based on the relevance and accuracy

11. Life Cycle Cost methodology
Advantages of LCCA
Improves forcasting-the application of LCCA allows the full cost associated with a procurment to be estimated more accurately
Improved awarenees – provide management with an improved awareness of the factors that drive cost and the resources by the purchase
Performance trade-off against cost – LCCA considers other factors like quality of the goods and level of service to be provided
