Modelling and Recycling-Oriented Assessment of Household Appliances

The paper looks at the recycling-oriented analysis of selected household appliances in the CAD 3D environment, carried out on the basis of recycling-oriented product models, as a form of briefly-discussed eco-design. The recycling-oriented product model (RmW) and measures of recycling-oriented product assessment are explained. A software tool facilitating the creation of recycling-oriented models for selected products and calculation of assessment measures for the analysis are presented. Two examples of recycling-oriented product assessment with the use of the developed method and tools are shown.
