Abstract- Nowadays, environmental problems have aroused public awareness about the trade-off between economic growth and environmental conservation. In this regard, sustainable product development plays an important role for balancing the demands of social productivity and the conservation of natural resources. In the realm of sustainable development, life cycle assessment (LCA) is an important tool to assist in ensuring proper sustainability through assessing the environmental impacts of product designs. In this research we are emphasis on how we can optimize our product design by evaluating environmental impact.
