Abstract

Design for Environment (DFE), covers any design activity which aims at improving the environmental performance of a product. For further study of Design for Environment, Nokia N70 mobile phone housing was selected as a component to be research. The objective of this research is to analyze the current electronic components by using Design for Environment (DFE) and Design for Sustainability (DFS) approaches analysis. This report describes research about sustainable and environmental impact of mobile phone component. By using Solidworks Sustainability analysis software, the original part of Nokia N70 mobile phone housing was analyzed to know the environmental impact level. New improved design and material selection process was implement in order to eliminate component disposal and to minimize the environmental impact of the product by reduce and modification part and suitable selection material. Finally, the comparative analysis can be made to determine whether the new design have improvement or not.
