Abstract

In a context where environmental questions have been gaining increasingly importance, for both the present legislation and consumers’ requirements, several strategies can be adopted by companies that wish to achieve sustainability. The verification list for the “Design for The Life Cycle” is an approach that provides the qualitative evaluation of improvement opportunities in a certain product, in terms of its eco-efficiency. This paper presents the evaluation of the product “Santa-Cruz” Sundial, produced by a Brazilian games’ company. An analysis of multiple aspects of the product was made, these being: sizing, materials, production, usage, maintenance, package, final disposal, among others. This assessment was made by assigning the following classification to each one of these criteria: A - ideal situation (the standard was considered in its overall); B - situation to explore (There are opportunities of improvement); C - Urgent need for action (the standard was never considered or the solution is yet unknown for it).
