| Abstract | As industries are embracing circular economy, wood in manufacturing companies stands out as a representative example of renewable resource. Especially in the building sector, the wood is known as a highly durable material with versatile design possibilities. One of the well-known methods for better understanding the production process of a product is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. In case of early design stages and regarding estimation of environmental impacts of a product, the simplified LCA study stands out. A simplified LCA is used for quick assessment with realistic approach to the product design. This type of study is suitable when we are planning to use already available data. Interpretation of the LCA results can potentiate improvement in the design of the product, and also it can serve as a good foundation and guidance into the transition to a cleaner energy and usage of the less environmentally harmful materials. Wooden exterior doors are a complex product that consists of numerous elementary components and large number of auxiliary materials and products. Reviewing the literature which deals with this topic it is evident that more and more designers and engineers have recognised the LCA as an important tool in identifying the product with better environmental performances. The purpose of this paper is to study the possibilities of the simplified LCA in the early design stages that can improve production process of a wooden exterior door. The emphasis is also on improving the eco-efficiency of the product which is right step to sustainable innovation. |
