Recycling of technical structures: The recyclability of refrigerators
Recycling of technical structures: The recyclability of refrigerators
Abstract
Consumer goods often consist of multi-material structures whose connections be-tween different materials fulfil important functions for production and use. In recycling, these structures must be disconnected in order to achieve high recycling rates for the individual materials. In this context, the BMBF project Circular by Design uses refrigerators/freezers to investigate which parameters can already be influenced during the design stage in order to optimise liberation during recycling without impairing the function and durability of the object in the use phase.
Keywords: recycling; design for recycling; design for repair; design for dismantling; liberation; multi-material structures
