본 논문에서는 싸이클론 청소기들의 성능 및 환경성 평가를 실시하고, 결과를 분석하여 환경에 대한 영향을 최소화하기 위한 개선방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 환경성 평가에는 제품의 원재료 취득, 제조, 운송, 사용 및 폐기 과정에 대해서 제품이 환경에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하는 전과정 평가(life cycle assessment, LCA)를 간략한 형태로 이용하였다. 2가지의 싸이클론 청소기의 성능을 각 제품의 전력량, 흡입력, 소음, 온도를 관련 규정에 따라 측정하여 비교하였으며, 환경성 평가를 통해 전과정 중 사용단계의 에너지 소모가 가장 많다는 결과를 얻었다. 이를 바탕으로 사용단계의 에너지 소모를 줄이기 위해 싸이클론 청소기 내부에 배플(baffle)을 설치하고, 유지/소모품인 필터의 교환 주기를 늘려 사용단계의 에너지를 감소시키는 개선 방안을 제안하였다. 또한, 싸이클론 청소기의 불필요한 원료 물질 및 부품을 제거하고 상대적으로 재활용률이 높은 원재료 물질로 대체하는 방안을 고려하여 청소기의 중량은 줄이고, 재활용률은 높여 전과정에 대한 에너지 소비를 낮춘 친환경 청소기에 관하여 연구하였다.

This study is the 2nd report following "A Study on the Characteristics of Material in the Korean Up-cycling Fashion Brands (Part I)" that handled the development of upcycling props using the characteristics of upcycling material. The 2nd report analyzed product types and materials focusing on 21 foreign upcycling fashion brands. It analyzed the characteristics of upcycling fashion materials using the case analysis of coffee bean bag and waste denim based on external characteristics and internal characteristics. We then classified the external characteristics into environment/economic feasibility and availability/mixture and the internal characteristics into historicality/story and originality/scarcity. Five bags were designed and produced for the actual commercialization of fashion products based on such characteristics of materials, with the use of coffee bean bags and waste denim as upcycling materials. This study is differentiated from existing research by its suggestions for the utilization of fashion product upcycling coffee bean bags and waste denim. Also, upcycling fashion products could be competitive products in eco-friendliness and originality that can be a driving force for the sustainable development of fashion industry through the differentiation of existing fashion products.

To realize the traceability of sustainable textile products, this study presents a low-carbon process through energy savings in the textile material manufacturing process. Traceability is becoming an important element of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which confirms the eco-friendliness of textile products as well as supply chain information. Textile products with complex manufacturing processes require traceability of each step of the process to calculate carbon emissions and power usage. Additionally, an understanding of the characteristics of the product planning-manufacturing-distribution process and an overall understanding of carbon emissions sources are required. Energy use in the textile material manufacturing stage produces the largest amount of carbon dioxide, and the amount of carbon emitted from processes such as dyeing, weaving and knitting can be calculated. Energy saving methods include efficiency improvement and energy recycling, and carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced through waste heat recovery, sensor-based smart systems, and replacement of old facilities. In the dyeing process, which uses a considerable amount of heat energy, LNG, steam can be saved by using "heat exchangers," "condensate management traps," and "tenter exhaust fan controllers." In weaving and knitting processes, which use a considerable amount of electrical energy, about 10- 20% of energy can be saved by using old compressors and motors.
