5. FUTURE PROJECTS

2

To introduce the environmental parameter into the design of products, processes and/or activities

in an effective manner for a cluster of SMEs

The environmental parameter becomes a business opportunity!

ECO-DESIGN: KEY MESSAGE 1. Context of research

ISO 14062: INTEGRATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS IN THE DESIGN

AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

4

Design for dismantling

Design for

reuse or recycling

Design to limit consumption

energy

Design to limit consumption

resources and products

Design for

limit releases

Improving using parameters

1. Context of research

5

Purpose of the approach is

To help a cluster of SMEs to identify and formulate a

problem in eco-innovation way.

To help a cluster of SMEs network to integrate

environmental (and societal) concepts during the

creativity process.

2. Problematic

ECODESIGN AND PROBLEMATICS

HOW TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA TO AVOID TRANSFER PROBLEMS

GLOBAL MULTICRITERION

ALL STEPS MANY INDICATORS IMPACT

OF LIFE CYCLE (POLLUTION AIR, WATER, GROUND)

WHY? EXAMPLES WHY? EXAMPLES

Plastic is difficult

to recycle at end

of life Choose plastic

instead of steel: car

lighter, less fuel

consumption

Zinc use in place

of aluminum:

more contribution

to eutrophisation

1. Context of research

ECATRIZ: HOW IT WORKS INTRODUCTION OF A KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT TOOL

- FROM THE TRIZ MATRIX WHICH IS A DATABASE OF SOLUTIONS (PRINCIPLES)

THAT HELP TO OVERCOME CONTRADICTIONS.

- CLUSTER OF ENGINEERING PARAMETERS INTO ECO-EFFICIENCY PARAMETERS

2ND STEP : GENERATION OF IDEAS FROM ECA TRIZ

MODIFICATION OF (NATURAL RESOURCES, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION OR SALE,

WASTE, COLLECTION, USE AND LOCAL ACTIVITY) WILL ALLOW ME TO REACH THE

OBJECTIVE.

REMOVE (NATURAL RESOURCES, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION OR SALE, WASTE,

COLLECTION, USE AND LOCAL ACTIVITY) WILL ALLOW ME TO REACH MY GOAL.

INTEGRATION OR ACTION LINKING (NATURAL RESOURCES, PRODUCTION,

DISTRIBUTION OR SALE, WASTE, COLLECTION, USE AND LOCAL ACTIVITY) WILL ALLOW

ME TO REACH MY GOAL

THE IDEA GENERATION PHASE IS TO BUILD STIMULATING SENTENCES

FROM 6 WORDS (OBJECTS) AND 3 ACTIONS (TOOLS) PROMOTING LIFE

-Lines represent tasks that impact a given task, and

-columns represent which tasks depend on a given task

Use computer tools to give priority to tasks whose lines carry the maximum "X".

ECO-DESIGN OBJECTIVES OF THIS WORK

-DESIGN OF BUSINESS MODELS BY AND FOR ECO-INNOVATION.

-SHOW THE CONCEPT OF ECO-DESIGN FOR GLOBAL OR SECTORAL USE (EXAMPLE

OF SME).

-NEW AVENUES FOR INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION AND EASE OF APPROPRIATION (FUN

COMMUNICATION ETC ...)

-INTEGRATION OF ENVIRONEMTAL ASPECTS INTO THE FAMILIAR PRODUCT

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

-STEP-BY STEP PLAN THAT GOES THROUGH ALL STAGES IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

-WIN-WIN SITUATION: BENEFITS FOR BOTH BUSINESS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
