This document discusses the importance of design for recycling (DFR) for electronics manufacturers. DFR involves designing products to be more easily reused or recycled at end of life through strategies like using recyclable materials, easy disassembly, and labeling of components. DFR is important for competitiveness, reducing costs, and compliance with increasingly strict e-waste regulations. The document provides examples of how DFR principles can improve recycling processes and outcomes.

Design for Recycling 11/03/12 HOBI International, Inc. Proper consideration of a product's environmental impact during the product's design phase is of paramount importance for American electronic manufacturers. Not only to avoid increased regulation and potential environmental liability, but, also, to maintain competitiveness in a marketplace full of increasingly environmentally conscious consumers. Why is DFR Important? 11/03/12 HOBI International, Inc. Why is DFR Important? A competitive issue At the heart of the decline of competitiveness is the failureto create industries of the future-- Gary Hamel, London Business School A bottom line issue Once industrialists think about it at all seriously, they almost inevitably see the financial advantages of investments in environmental technology-- Hugh Faulkner, Business Council for Sustainable Development

Design for Recycling Two elements Design for Reuse Reuse--The ability to take an item after it has been expended and inject it back into the production or repair process in its initially designed form. Design for Recycling Recycling--The ability to take an item after it has been expended and return it to usefulness in an alternative form or as a commodity.

How can design for reuse and design for recycling be incorporated into the initial product design process? By giving the designer an awareness of the reuse/recycling processes, design decisions can be made that will minimize the product's end of life cycle environmental impact. In many cases these decisions will not impact overall product cost, especially when overall product life costs are considered. In some cases, these decisions can only be made by tradeoff analysis.
