Design for (dis) assembly
Design for (dis)assembly is an important step for all CE objects, from mobile phones to skyscrapers and even products engineered to work within the bio-cycle. When the concept of (dis)assembly is applied at the design phase it will result in cleaner, categorised and traceable material flows. It also has the added advantage of ease of maintenance/repair allowing products to exist for longer within a market. Furthermore, when the object passes its designed 'use period' the parts retain value allowing them to have reason to re-enter the system.
