TRANSCRIPT
Cooperative Effort on Process Emissions in Manufacturing
UPLCI – Unit Process Life Cycle Inventory
Goal
Join and coordinate international efforts to document, analyse and improve the environmental footprint for a wide range of available and emerging manufacturing processes with respect to their direct and indirect emissions.
Objective & Scope
1.Study the environmental footprint of discrete part manufacturing processes. 2.Develop a methodology that allows to provide data in a format useful for inclusion in LCI databases. 3.Identify opportunities for improved process design in close cooperation with machine tool developers. Derive design rules and guidelines in support of eco-design of machine tools. 4.Draft a proposal for a machine tool eco-label system.
