“…Given such broad sentiment, this paper focuses particularly on the recyclability of product green design in the following three areas: ease of disassembly, usage of toxic materials, and reusability of resources (Calcott and Walls, 2005), i.e., design for recycling (Kriwet et al, 1995). A prevalent definition of recyclability has been known as a rate or percentage of recyclable material in a product composition (Duchin and Lange, 1994;Huisman et al, 2003). This definition of recyclability has been adopted in this paper.…”

This paper demonstrates that a proper design of environmental-regulation pricing strategies is able to promote Extended Product Responsibility for green supply chain firms in a competitive market. A differential game model comprising Vidale-Wolfe equation has been established in light of sales competition and recycling dynamics as well as regulation related profit function. Analytic solutions of Markovian Nash equilibriums are provided with the necessary condition derived from Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. We found that governments should opt to gradually raise regulation standards so that rational manufacturers will gradually improve its product recyclability, and, in turn, Extended Product Responsibility will get promoted.

“…The AHP-based evaluation considered environmental impact, cost, and reclaimed materials as the major criteria for strategy determination. Huisman et al [11] described 'the quotes for the environmentally weighted recyclability' (QWERTY) approach, which focuses on the determination of environmentally weighted recycling scores. The concept describes the environmental performance of recycling of waste products.…”

The significant environmental cost associated with management of products at the end-of-life has resulted in the emergence of 'producer responsibility' legislations to encourage increase in recovery and recycling practices. In the case of electrical and electronic equipment, one such legislation, namely the 'Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive', requires manufacturers to assume financial and legal liability for recovery and recycling of their products at the end-of-life. The current recycling applications of electrical and electronic waste are often developed on ad hoc basis and mainly attributable to the hidden economic value within used products. However, owing to stricter regulations on end-of-life product recycling, it is now essential to evaluate the recycling costs and environmental benefits of reclaimed products and materials as well as the selection of appropriate recycling strategy. The present paper describes the initial investigation in the realization of a computer-aided recycling process planner for electrical and electronic products. The assertion made is that such a systematic approach to producing bespoke eco-efficient recycling process plans for individual products will significantly improve the value recovery from recycling activities.

“…[14] Conclusion 2: There are several types of mass losses during the product treatment cycle producing the secondary raw material [15] [16]: -During the grinding, due to oxidation for reactive metals, -Through the imperfect liberation of the associated materials, -During the melting to produce ingots Conclusion 3: The mass losses during the grinding / sorting / melting are not insignificant and vary depending on the metal. Conclusion 4: the rate of liberation of the associated materials, as for ferrous metals, copper and aluminum, is different for ELVs (99, 89, 88%) [2] and WEEE (94, 78, 82%) [16]. It is lower for the electronic products.…”

is an open access repository that collects the work of Arts et Métiers ParisTech researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. AbstractThe designers of products subject to the European regulations on waste have an obligation to improve the recyclability of their products from the very first design stages. The statutory texts refer to ISO standard 22 628, which proposes a method to calculate vehicle recyclability. There are several scientific studies that propose other calculation methods as well.
