Material Election and Ecological Design for Furniture Products Based on the Principles of Green Manufacturing

Abstract

Based on the principles of green manufacturing, the ecological system of furniture design consists of the ecological furniture design analysis, implementation, evaluation, as well as supporting and maintenance. Compared to the traditional furniture material election, the material election subject to the green manufacturing presents a new philosophy. The principle of furniture material election subject to the green manufacturing involves the combination of technical principle, economical principle and environmental principle. This article also discusses the minimization of life-cycle cost of furniture material election subject to green manufacturing.

Research on the Recyclable Design of Wooden Furniture Based on the Recyclability Evaluation

“…Munteanu [36] believes that eco-design is to combine environmental protection standards with the life cycle of products, by maximizing the conservation and recovery of natural resources through an eco-design approach, supporting the entire life cycle of products from a circular economy perspective, using recyclable materials and promoting eco-innovation to reduce the negative impact of materials on the environment, while also taking environmental, social, and economic benefits into account. Zhang et al [56] discussed the life -cycle cost minimization of furniture material selection with the goal of environmentally conscious manufacturing. In order to improve the environmental protection performance of furniture in the life cycle, so that the life cycle of furniture covers design, manufacture, delivery, use, disposal, and other links, the ecological design of furniture with environmentally conscious manufacturing as the main body combines environmental concept with ecological furniture design.…”

Energy Consumption for Furniture Joints during Drilling in Birch Plywood

“…The term “eco-design” refers to the integration of various disciplines, including ecological engineering, ecological restoration, green architecture, and others [ 1 ]. Eco-design must consider all aspects of the product’s life cycle, including shipping, machining, waste generation overall, and the product’s end, in addition to materials and aesthetics [ 2 ].…”
