Among these issues, three major directives of environmental protection that promoted by European Union (EU) is the best example; which include waste electronics and electrical equipment (WEEE), restriction of hazardous substance (RoHS), and directive of eco-design requirement of energy-using products (EuP). Hence, the eco-design which integrates the environmental aspects into product design is the effective approach to improve the environmental performance of the products. In the above-mentioned directives, The EuP is set up to establish the framework of eco-design of environmental that focuses on energy-using products. Furthermore, EuP is also set up to gather and quantify the relative environmental protection characters of products into the eco-profile. This eco-profile can increase the competitiveness of the products. This study takes router as an example and focuses on the router life cycle (Cradle-to-Gate). Life cycle inventory (LCI) is employed to assess the environmental performance ofrouter, and then set up the program of improvement. From the bill of material (BOM) of router, the key suppliers can be selected. According the results of examination and inference on the products and the spare parts of the key suppliers which weight are more than 80%, it reveals that the PC material is the main material among the input of router during the production stage. Considering the environmental impact by the whole life cycle of objective product, it shows that the three impact indicators; total energy, the total amount of greenhouse gases and waste; have the relative large number. Finally, following the information of eco-profile, the feasibility and benefit evaluation of eco-design can be discussed for further step.
