Parâmetros ambientais para ecodesign (pae): aplicação da ferramenta em produtos de madeira, metal e papel

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the parameters of Environmental Labeling Programs (Type-1 Labeling) in order to systematize the data and information, facilitating the decision making in the design process. The study is based on the importance of the Life Cycle Thinking approach currently in the practice of the design, as well as the need for quantitative targets to achieve environmental goals. The methodology is based on the application of the Environmental Parameters for Ecodesign (EPE) tool. Firstly, a bibliographic revision on the sector of wood, metal and paper products was performed. Secondly, all environmental labeling programs members of the Global Ecolabelling Network were analyzed in order to apply the EPE tool. The result presents the implementation of the EPE tool for the categories of wood, metal and paper products.
