Agenda1. Welcome & introductions (all)

2. Overview of main concepts regarding materials supply risk from the ADS DfE perspective - Andy Clifton (Rolls Royce) and Cyrille Peignot (EADS)

3. How BSI Standards might be able to help At the design stage using BS 8905 and BS 8887 - Ben Sheridan & Sarah Kelly(BSI) Ecodesign using BS EN ISO 14006 – Monika Green from BSI During the operational stage of the supply chain using BS 8903 – Monika Green

(BSI)

4. Open discussion What are the main problems regarding materials supply risk? To what extent do the existing standards help with the problems? What further standardisation needs to take place? What case/pilot studies can take place to further inform the above?

5. Agree next steps and future plans Should we meet again? Who else needs to be involved? When?

Working with industry to develop approaches in:A. Design

i. Selection of the most sustainable materials option(s) – using BS 8905 Framework for the assessment of the sustainable use of materials

ii. Designing in the ability to remanufacture – using BS 8887 Design for manufacture, assembly, disassmble and end-of-life.

B. Managing sustainable sourcing of materials within the supply chain – using BS 8903 Principles and framework for procuring sustainably.

• Derived from BS 8900 Guidance for managing sustainable development;

• Sets up a framework to use materials more sustainably;

• Includes environmental, social and economic aspects over the entire life cycle of the material/product (inc. end of life);

• Applies to ALL materials classes;

• Applies to ALL application sectors;

• Includes requirement to consult with stakeholders.

Uses of BS 8905

• Used by Nissan and Luxus to incorporate post-industrial recyclate into production process.

• Also used by Nissan to help comply with the End of Life Vehicle Directive.

• Can be used by the packaging industry to reduce waste for the product as a whole through careful selection of packaging materials.

• Can be used by fashion industry to encourage reuse and recycling of textiles.

Why use standards?

BS 8887 is used to reduce costs, optimize processes, gain customers and facilitate regulatory compliance

It's a good sales tactic for us to be able to say that our

products are completely recyclable at the end of life and that end of life is a long

way off

To take something apart, it's got to be easy to put

together. So, the easier it is to put a product

together, the quicker it can be manufactured, which means more profit for us

One of our drivers isn’t so much the environmental side, although that’s a great benefit, what we

believe is that there is a great cost benefit for being

environmentally friendly

The standard talks about the principles that are

insisted upon by customers. Customers want things

designed such that they can be serviced and will have a

residual value

By separating products into their various parts, the cost of WEEE disposal is greatly

reduced

ISO 14006 – Environmental management systems – Guidelines for incorporating ecodesign

10

• Designers not traditionally covered by EMS

• 14006 about how to manage environmental aspects at design stage

• Intended for those that have an EMS, but can help in integrating ecodesign in other management systems.

• Design requirements from ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 included in document and then are elaborated on with ecodesign specific guidance.

11

• Provides a common language and approach to sustainable procurement

• Is the first publication that explains in detail ‘how to do’ sustainable procurement

• Is generic: covering any sector and any type of procurement activity

• Offers practical advice, examples and web links demonstrating how to adopt and embed sustainable procurement.

Sustainable procurement process overview

Fundamentals: the higher level organisational and procurement policies and strategy that provide the strategic context to support sustainable procurement practices. Procurement process: an overview of a generic and typical procurement process highlighting the sustainability issues that should be dealt with across various parts of the process.  Enablers: the ways of working, competencies, practices and techniques that the organisation needs to have in place to support the procurement activity. Many of these mirror the basics of good procurement.
