Challenge 3 Assignment 3: Making EcoDenim Co Sustainable Products in Line with EU Norm After watching the videos, discuss in groups or individually the following questions in order to develop a more sustainable product lifecycle analysis. For each stage of the product lifecycle, you will receive a score ranging from 1 to 5 based on the sustainability practices implemented. Add your points for each stage and then sum them all up at the end (you can find the scoring guide in point 6). The evaluation includes key aspects such as material selection, production processes, distribution, consumer use, and end-oflife management. At the end, the scores will be consolidated into an overall sustainability rating, reflecting the total points achieved across all stages, where 1 indicates minimal impact and 5 represents the highest level of sustainability. Stage 1. Product Design x Sustainable material selection: – What alternative materials can be used (e.g., recycled fibers, organic fibers)? – Is it possible to use certified materials (e.g., GOTS for organic cotton)? – Do selected materials reduce the use of toxic substances? – Can the weight of the product be reduced without compromising durability? – Can the product be designed for easier recycling? x Sustainability Score (1-5): 1. Product Design: Scoring (1-5) / This section evaluates product design practices focused on sustainability. When scoring this section, students should specify the points considered, such as: – 1-2: No sustainable or alternative materials are considered, and there is no focus on design for recycling. – 3: Some sustainable or certified materials are introduced, but there is room for increasing their usage. – 4: Certified sustainable materials are used, and the product is designed with weight reduction and recycling optimization in mind. – 5: The design is fully optimized with sustainable materials, and the product is made to facilitate recycling at the end of its life.
