Abstract

The so-called “green” product is a relative concept. Because artificial products will more or less consume resources and energy and affect the environment. If a product can be thought of in the “earth way” at the beginning of design, including products and services, it has a lower impact on the environment than the traditional method in the past to achieve the goal of sustainable use. Be green products and the modular design in the green product design method, in addition to extending the life of parts, if its main parts can have a longer life, other components can be modularized according to their average life. Make the parts in each module have the same life, make the best use of them when replacing, and can replace and repair some parts after damage, reduce waste of resources and cost, and achieve the purpose of green design. This study only discusses the modular design for the environment, and discusses the feasible design schemes of its modular design from the green assembly and disassembly methods in its modular design, and then builds the green modular design assembly with case studies and disassembly design principles, and a set of green design assembly and disassembly evaluation benchmarks. According to this method, the best green modularization feasible design scheme of this case is designed.
