Eco-Design Concepts based on CO2 Recycling and tool for Environmental Performance Declaration

초록

Ecodesign method for low-carbon product is proposed here. The propsed method consists of two elements:ⅰ)gathering lifr cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emission of a product through considering its end-of-life trearment technology, ⅱ)a recycling calculation method of a product based on its GHG emission at the end-of-life stage and not vased on weight. Under strong requirement of the green growth and sustainable development ober the world invluding environmental regulation and standard, ISO 14064, Eup, WEEE and so on, Eco-product applied the ecodesign prodedure has to prove its Eco-performance. Railway industry can not stay and sustain its better position any more than other transportation industry. Most of the industry except Railway industry is struggling to develop its product more encironmentally friendly and get the 3rd party certification like Eco-labelling and Carbon footprint. To get encironmental certification, LCA purpose of this project is to facilitate railway vehicle manufacturer obtaining the environmental certification termed Korea EPD. By doing so, the environmental performance evaluation tool would be developed and modelled within the LCA framework and therefore applied especially for rail vehicle.
