The Research on Eco-design and Eco-efficiency of Life Cycle Analysis

This paper focuses on utilizing the life cycle analysis and other assumptions. For the life cycle cost section, the market price of one set of front loading washing machine is considering the cost for each life cycle stage that could be acquired from the data sources. Additionally, the LCC analysis could compare the initial investment options of the current front loading washing machine which calculated by a series of formulas and identified the minimum cost in each life cycle stage. According to the LCA and LCC results during the entire life cycle stages of the front loading washing machine, the procedure of eco-design could improve the hotspots of ecological impacts and reduce the pending expenses through some radical measures. Therefore, reducing energy consumption and improving the recycling rate would immensely enhance the hotspots of the redesigned product.
