Abstract(s)
Em Portugal, as alterações climáticas têm contribuído para
o aumento de incêndios e pragas, resultando numa redução
das áreas de cultivo do pinheiro-bravo, contribuindo para a
escassez da matéria-prima. Esta diminuição tornou-se
preocupante, uma vez que a procura por estes materiais
continua a aumentar. Outro aspeto preocupante é o uso de
resinas com formaldeído na produção de derivados de
madeira, ás quais podem ter consequências graves para a
saúde humana. Com a crescente preocupação com a
sustentabilidade ambiental, a procura por materiais
alternativos que possam reduzir o impacto ambiental e
permitir práticas de design mais conscientes tem-se tornado
cada vez mais relevante. Por isso, esta investigação
desenvolve uma alternativa aos derivados de madeira
tradicional. O objetivo é encontrar soluções que permitam
reduzir a dependência do pinheiro-bravo e reduzir o
impacto ambiental do formaldeído na produção dos
derivados de madeira. O novo material é produzido a partir
de plantas invasoras existentes em Portugal e sem utilização
de formaldeído. Foram realizados não só análises de casos
de estudo como também a utilização do método MDD para
obtenção das propriedades físicas, mecânicas e
organoléticas do material selecionado, de forma a
demonstrar a sua viabilidade como substituto dos derivados
de madeira. Os resultados obtidos pemitem fortalecer a
posição do novo material ecológico como uma alternativa
sustentável e impulsionadora na sua adoção no mercado do
design de produto.
Procurando evidenciar as propriedades do material
desenvolvido conclui-se esta investigação fazendo uma
proposta de aplicação em design de produto - uma bio-urna.
In Portugal, climate change has contributed to an increase of wildfires and pests, resulting in a reduction of areas suitable for growing Pinus pinaster, leading to a scarcity of raw materials. This decrease has become concerning as the demand for these materials continues to rise. However, another danger aspect is the use of formaldehyde-based resins in the production of wood derivatives, which can have serious health consequences for the population. With the growing concern for environmental sustainability, the search for alternative materials that can reduce environmental impact and enable more consicious design practices has become increasingly relevant. Therefore, this research explores the possibility of substitute wood based panel in product design. The goal is to find solutions that can reduce the dependency on Pinus pinaster and mitigate the environmental impact of formaldehyde in wood based panel production. The new material, is produced from invasive plants that are more prevalent in Portugal and from renewable sources reducing dangerous impact of formaldehyde in composite wood. Thus, the research included the creation of a bio urn as a case study, where an eco-friendly material was incorporated. Not only were case studies analyzed, but the MDD method was also employed to obtain the physical, mechanical, and organoleptic properties of the selected material, demonstrating its viability as a substitute for wood derivatives. The results obtained strengthen the position of the new eco-friendly material as a sustainable alternative and a driving force for its adoption in the product design market. Looking to promote the material property as developed, conclusion the investigation of bio-urn design application.
