Ecodesign as a new possibility in teaching technical subjects in secondary schools

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article&apos;s main goal is to provide a new tool for teaching technical subjects in secondary schools. Specifically, it is ecodesign as a systematic process of designing and developing a product, which, in addition to features such as functionality, safety, technical feasibility, etc., places great emphasis on achieving a minimal negative impact of the product on the environment, mainly from the point of view of the life cycle. Life cycle assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impacts of production, services and technologies. The LCA method is internationally recognised and can be applied in all spheres of human activity. LCA is used when comparing products and services, when planning processes in the field of the company&apos;s environmental policy, and when creating strategic plans in various industries. One of the fundamental and recognised factors that negatively affect our planet is global climate change, affecting not only stable global ecosystems but also human communities. The article uses studies prepared according to the international standard ISO 14040 Environmental management requirements. In the article&apos;s introduction, the product&apos;s production process is described as a system that is managed with respect to the environment. A manufacturing company must manage aspects not only of its own production and non-production processes but also aspects related to the impacts of its products throughout the entire life cycle of a specific product. In addition to the production phase, the life cycle also includes aspects of extraction of raw materials, purchase or production of materials, transport, distribution, logistics and the phase of product use, including preventive maintenance and subsequent disposal or recycling. The next part of the article summarises the theory on the integration of environmental aspects into the product design process using the ecodesign methodology. In conclusion, the article compares metal and plastic 3D printed products and considers the usual requirements for product properties such as functionality, quality, safety, price and appearance. The connection of ecodesign and environmental management systems is an effective implementation of a preventive approach to the identification of risks of products, activities and services and the subsequent setting of preventive measures, which will clearly show the students the importance of Ecodesign as a tool.
