Ecodesign of steam turbine elements can contribute to reducing the environmental impact of traditional power generation systems. The article identifies and analyzes environmental parameters in the life cycle of the steam turbine diaphragms. The identification of ecodesign variants, as part of conceptual design, creates the opportunity to choose optimal life cycle parameters related to minimization of material and energy consumption, as well as waste reducing. At the stage of conceptual design, three design solutio...

The article deals with a study focused on the production of products with an emphasis on the use of environmentally friendly and recycled materials. Eco-design and the environmentally friendly product lifecycle are being increasingly taken into account and given greater emphasis considering the limited raw material resources of the planet. The properties that must be met by newly selected material were determined by the material analysis of selected products and their components. It was not just for the sake of ex...

The study focuses on the design of interior flower pots, which, thanks to a simple idea and suitable selection of materials, can present the contemporary possibilities. Thanks to the database of materials, a school project was developed during which students and their teachers designed interior flower pots that included a description of selected materials and other added features. Designs that met the requirements of the assignment the best were selected for presentation in this article. The individual types of in...
