Résumé : |
Ecodesign for leather products implies that the different potentiel environmental impacts of the main material, leather and finished products must be taken into account considering its whole life cycle, apart from the general design criteria (i.e. technical, functional, aesthetic or economic). In this paper, a bag made of leather was taken as a case study. A sustainability assessment methodology, given the major concern on carbon footprint (CF) and environmental risk assessment (ERA), were combined to derive complementaty criteria for the ecodesign of leather products, thus the effect of ecological properties of leather on finished products were analyzed. It was concluded that the key to leather product ecodesign is to choose leather.
Leather's ecological properties directly determine their values of carbon footprint and environmental risk assessment. It was shown that, the process, clean-energy usage and the waste disposal have impacts on carbon footprint. Different countries and processes resulted in great gaps in leather's carbon footprint. Banned azo colorants have the most carcinogenic risk amongst the hazardous compounds used in the leather industry. Thus, the leather is crucial in the process of ecodesign for leather products, the ecological criteria and supplier selection are rigorous.
On the premise of aesthetic design, the perspective provided by the indicators of different nature was balanced to accomplish a fair evaluation. The selection of leather produced under sustainable criteria and the reduction of the materials consumption was recommended, since the area requirements would be minimized and the absence of hazardous compounds would ensure safety conditions during the use stage. |
