Resumen de Recycling-oriented information management: A prerequisite for life cycle engineering
D. Spath, M. Hartel, C. Tritsch
Today's development of technical products that are fit for the market is characterized by the necessity to take the complete life cycle of a product into consideration at an early stage in decision-making processes. This information on the product life cycle and corresponding support mechanisms must be supplied accompanying the developmental stage but also for planning disassembly/recycle processes. This contribution presents a computer-aided tool for product development with disassembly and recycle adequacy, with an emphasis on the life cycle oriented assessment of product alternatives. Based on a joint database and integrating current marginal conditions, an approach for determining the economically optimized disassembly extent is subsequently described as basis for future-oriented recycle processes. The described software tools will support the recycling-oriented information management from product development up to disposal of technical products,
