The life cycle analysis of copper forgings of construction machinery is to evaluate and analyze the various links from raw material procurement, processing and manufacturing, use and waste treatment to understand the environmental impact and resource consumption that may occur in the whole life cycle. At the same time, through the optimization of all stages of the life cycle, environmental impact can be reduced, resource utilization can be improved, and the goal of sustainable development can be achieved.
Specific life cycle analysis and optimization measures are as follows:
- Raw material procurement stage:
- Select high-quality copper materials that meet environmental protection standards to reduce environmental pollution;
- Conduct supply chain management to ensure that raw materials are not obtained in illegal or destructive ways during the procurement process.
- Processing and manufacturing stage:
- Adopt advanced production equipment and processes to improve production efficiency and reduce energy consumption;
- Control the production of waste water, waste gas and waste in the production process, and reduce environmental pollution through reasonable treatment and recycling.
- Use stage:
- Provide instructions and training to properly use and maintain copper forgings to extend their service life;
- Regular inspection and maintenance of copper forgings to reduce the occurrence of failure and damage;
- Encourage energy saving and emission reduction, such as controlling vehicle working hours, optimizing working routes, etc.
- Disposal stage:
- Adopt compliant waste disposal methods, such as recycling, remanufacturing, etc.;
- Conduct proper waste disposal according to relevant national policies and regulations.
In addition, we can also learn from the life cycle evaluation method, through quantitative evaluation indicators and models, systematically analyze the environmental performance of copper forgings in different links, so as to better implement optimization measures, achieve the effect of reducing environmental impact and improving resource utilization. At the same time, strengthen the construction of environmental management system within the enterprise, formulate sustainable development goals and action plans, and promote the virtuous cycle of environmental protection and economic benefits.
