Recyclinggerechte produktgestaltung als grundlage fur ein optimales stoffrecycling

Abstract

For aiding and optimizing the recycling of residue materials (post-consumer recycling) it is necessary that the products are designed in a recycling-conform way, i.e. that they are prepared for the eventual reutilisation of the materials after the end of the product use. From the analysis of the recycling system and of the design process, guide-lines for a recycling-conform product design are derived and explained by examples; the chances are discussed whether they can be carried out in practice.
