Abstract
On the extended use situations, the laptop (notebook) causes ergonomic issues, and therefore is described by technical studies as a product highly harmful to the body health. The use of an adjustable table is demanded to raise the screen to the user eye-line height in order to alleviate this problem. However, the manufacturing of the laptop stand causes high environmental impact, still requiring the production of other complementary peripherals for the stand to be effective. Applying the Life Cycle Analysis highlighted a great opportunity of innovation during the evaluation of the manufacturing process of the UpTable portable laptop stand, providing solutions for both the ergonomic issue and the manufacturing sustainability. Proposed manufacturing process eliminates the peripherals redundancy and promotes economy of supplies with no prejudice to the portability that characterizes the device.
