Abstract

Tire is one of the important parts in car which is it plays an important role in automotive industry. In recent years, much progress has been made whether in the physical or chemical understanding as to measure the endurance value of the tires. The objectives of this project is to study and do a research about the tire making process and also analyze the car’s tire by using Design for Sustainability approach and techniques. The analyzing of the tire in this project was included the factor of weather and road surface. From the result, it can be seen that tire’s endurance increases when the properties of tensile strength and elongation is increase. In a short meaning of Design for Sustainability (DFS), it is the process of designing goods and services that takes into account all the dimensions of sustainable development and particularly environment, economic and social factors. DFS also includes in concept of Ecodesign, Design for Environment (DFE), and Industrial Ecosystem. For this project, the analysis or method that was used to achieve all of the objectives are Sima-Pro software (Life-Cycle Assessment), CES Edupack software (material selection), questionnaire and also gathering information from many resource of literature review. In the end, the collected data from all of the analysis will be concluded what is the better material but in many condition such as about hot weather, cold weather, cost and also road surface
