UniBo Motorsport, the motorsport team of the University of Bologna, is currently addressing the transition toward sustainable manufacturing, a key challenge that requires balancing high performance with environmental responsibility. In collaboration with one of its industrial sponsors, the team conducted a detailed analysis based on ISO 14067, focusing on the carbon footprint assessment of steering system components and adopting the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. These standards enabled the identification of the main requirements for an integrated Environmental Management System (EMS), primarily through the evaluation of manufacturing processes, the selection of alternative materials, the optimization of machining operations, and the definition of improved, sustainability-oriented design solutions for mechanical components.

摘要

UniBo Motorsport, the motorsport team of the University of Bologna, is currently addressing the transition toward sustainable manufacturing, a key challenge that requires balancing high performance with environmental responsibility. In collaboration with one of its industrial sponsors, the team conducted a detailed analysis based on ISO 14067, focusing on the carbon footprint assessment of steering system components and adopting the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. These standards enabled the identification of the main requirements for an integrated Environmental Management System (EMS), primarily through the evaluation of manufacturing processes, the selection of alternative materials, the optimization of machining operations, and the definition of improved, sustainability-oriented design solutions for mechanical components.
