In a circular economy (CE), the economic and environmental value of materials is preserved for as long as possible by keeping them in the economic system, either by lengthening the life of the products formed from them or by looping them back in the system to be reused. The notion of waste no longer exists in a CE, because products and materials are, in principle, reused and cycled indefinitely. Taking this description as a starting point, the article asks which guiding principles, design strategies, and methods are required for circular product design and to what extent these differ from the principles, strategies, and methods of eco-design. The article argues that there is a fundamental distinction to be made between eco-design and circular product design and proceeds to develop, based on an extensive literature review, a set of new concepts and definitions, starting from a redefinition of product lifetime and introducing new terms such as presource and recovery horizon. The article then takes Walter Stahel's Inertia Principle as the guiding principle in circular product design and develops a typology of approaches for Design for Product Integrity, with a focus on tangible durable consumer products. The newly developed typology contributes to a deeper understanding of the CE as a concept and informs the discussion on the role of product design in a CE. Keywords:circular economy closed loop eco-design product design product durability remanufacturing Conflict of interest statement: The authors have no conflict to declare.

Abstract. This paper discusses the techniques used for optimization in manufacturing system. Although problem domain is focused on sustainable manufacturing, techniques used to optimize general manufacturing system were also discussed. Important aspects of Design for Remanufacturing (DFReM) considered include indexes, weighted average, grey decision making and Fuzzy TOPSIS. The limitation of existing techniques are most of them is highly based on decision maker's perspective. Different experts may have different understanding and eventually scale it differently. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to determine available techniques and identify the lacking feature in it. Once all the techniques have been reviewed, a decision will be made by create another technique which should counter the lacking of discussed techniques.In this paper, shows that the hybrid computation of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is suitable and fill the gap of all discussed technique.

“…Product design, apart from the remaining life of components, can also affect the optimal product recovery decision. Certain product designs favor recovery, resulting in lower recovery costs while some product designs incur higher recovery costs making the product less favorable for recovery [4]. Therefore, the evaluation of product designs is an important aspect of EOL product management.…”

This paper proposes an Advanced-Remanufacturing-to-Order-Disassembly-to-Order system which receives sensors and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags embedded End-Of-Life (EOL) products. The received sensors and RFID tags embedded EOL products are disassembled to meet the components demands, remanufactured to meet the products demands and recycled to meet the materials demands. The objective of the proposed model is to determine how many EOL products should be disassembled, remanufactured, recycled, disposed of or stored to meet components, products and materials demands. The model also evaluates different design alternatives of the received EOL products for the ease of disassembly and remanufacturing based on four criteria viz., total profit, quality level, number of disposed items and material value. Linear physical programming is used to solve this multi-criteria decision making problem. An example of Air Conditioners is considered for illustration of the proposed model.
