![]() The parameters were obtained from existing DFA time estimate tables. A case study is performed to determine if DFA parameters could be utilized to determine product recyclability. If such design decisions could be made earlier in the design process, when the design space is less bound, recyclability could be considered earlier. However, many of the existing recyclability indices are only available after design and manufacturing decisions are made. This assists the designer in making design choices related to the product's end of life. ![]() ![]() These indices can be used for comparative analysis of the recyclability of different products. Several design for assembly (DFA) rules and parameters can be used to gauge the recyclability index of product designs. Designing products for recyclability is driven by environmental and economic goals.
