Research topic 161 / 200
Products are difficult to disassemble and sort by material
Different materials are joined together, requiring complex disassembly for subsequent processing.
Three-step solution method
- Map parts, connections and material composition to identify barriers to disassembly.
- Work with relevant teams on separable structures and clear material labeling.
- Use teardown prototypes to record tools, steps and how cleanly parts separate.
Key Deliverables
- Material composition diagram
- Disassembly concept
- Teardown log
Verification Approach
Compare disassembly steps, separation completeness and material identification.
