Abstract: Design for recyclability (DFR) is an efficiency way to
improve the recyclability and the environmental performance of products.
A new design method based on recycling element is put forward. The
method takes the product as a set of recycling elements and realizes the
design for recyclability process by the design of recycling elements and
the design of the interface between recycling elements. Based on the
introduction of the concept of recycling element, the design for
recyclablity process, including the design of basic recycling elements,
the design of the combined elements and the design of interfaces between
the combined recycling elements, is analyzed. At last, an example is
given to show the design process.
Key words: Design for recyclability (DFR) Basic recycling element
Combined recycling element Recyclability
