綠色生命週期設計中產品回收再生特性之永續性評估模式研究

A Study of Sustainabili Assessment Model for the Characteristics of Recycling Materials in the Life Cycle Design

本研究從綠色生命週期設計觀點中發展產品回收再生特性之永續性評估模式。從永續性（sustainability）的角度而言，回收再生的目標即在維持未來所需資源的長期供應然而，自然資源經過一連串的加工製造過程後，產品原料的回收再生性質乃對環境產生負荷並對產品品質有所影響。因此若能於產品開發設計之早期階段，即將原料之影響性融入產品的綠色生命週期設計之中，則可增進產品原料回收再生之效益。本研究所採行的方法與步驟是針對相關主題的文獻加以研討，探討綠色生命週期設計之相關重要研究，其後規劃評估模式發展架構；並應用電腦輔助產品環境評估工具Simapro3及綠色生命週期中各階段評估表格與設計參考原則分析產品回收再生原料之各項特性以及評估產品原料選擇價值性；並透過專家學者的意見諮詢，共同來評估模式建立之可行性，最後作評估模式的產品實例應用與說明。

This study develops a sustainability assessment model for the characteristics of product recycling materials from the life cycle design point of view. According to the concept of sustainability, the goal of recycling is to maintain a long-term supply for the resources needed in the future. However, after the natural resources run through conversion or manufacturing process, their nature might be destroyed. Then the recycling of those materials perhaps affect environmental load and product quality. If the potential influence of materials and the method of green design of products could be taken into account on the early stage of product development, the effectiveness of recycling material will be highly increased. The methodology and procedure of this study begins with important literature review about the life cycle design and then plan the developing structure of assessment model. In addition the characteristics and the value of selection of recycling materials are analyzed by the computer-aided environmental assessment tool named 'Simapro 3', assessment forms and referring guidelines on different stages of life cycle. Furthermore, the study evaluates the possibility of establishing an assessment model by consulting experts and scholars. It also establishes the guidelines for selection of recycling materials and a sustainability assessment model in life cycle design of products. At the end of study, it illustrates the application of this established assessment model and evaluate its developing potential.
