Eco-design processes in the automotive industryStaniszewska, Ewelina (Avtor) Klimecka-Tatar, Dorota (Avtor) Obrecht, Matevž (Avtor) eco-design processesautomotive industrysupply chain managementbusiness processescleaner productionenvironmental impactslogisticsEvery year approximately 70 million passenger cars are being produced and automotive industry is much bigger then just passenger cars. The impact of automotive industry on the environment is tre-mendous. From extracting raw materials through manufacturing and assembly processes, exploitation of the vehicle to the reprocessing irreversible, extensive environmental damage is done. The goal of this study is to show how implementing eco-design processes into supply chain management can re-duce the impact of automotive industry on the environment by e.g. reducing the use of the fuel, in-creasing the use of recycled materials. Focus is on evaluation of current state, environmental impacts and potential improvements for design, raw materials, manufacturing and distribution and end-of-life phase.Printing House the Managers of Quality and Production Association20202024-12-18 13:25:02Znanstveno delo91395UDK: 005.5COBISS_ID: 45480707DOI: 10.30657/pea.2020.26.25ISSN pri članku: 2353-5156sl
