Integration of Recycling Considerations Into Product Design — A System Approach

  • Chapter
Information and Collaboration Models of Integration

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 259))

Abstract

This paper presents an integrative approach for design-for-recycling of products. A system approach is suggested integrating the product's recycling features, the recycling process and the product logistic support during the product's life cycle. Design-for-recycling is defined as a design for ease of product recycling and maximum output. Rules dedicated for design-for-recycling are given particularly to the disassembly process of a product during the recycling stage. The design approach is demonstrated by investigating a washing machine as a representative of a “white” household machines family. The recyclability of the machine is evaluated, where different design-for-recycling rules are applied in order to improve the machine recycling characteristics.
