Basics
- The management of a product's "End-of-Life"
- Essentially what to do when it is no longer Reusable
Workflow
Flowchart
Direct Recycling
- Direct to relevant Recycling Workflow (Can be done if it is a single material (ie a metal canister) )
Disassembly Required
- Disassemble
- Useable Component Recovery
- Direct Recycling of Relevant Parts
Upcycling
Destructive Recycling
Biological
RDF
- Gasification / Pyrolysis of the remaining RDF at the end of the other above processes
- This is then used to create new products/materials that are reclaimed from the above system
- Clinkers / Slag can be utilized as Concrete Aggregate
- Ash / Bottom Ash / Fly Ash can all be utilized as chemicals in cleaning/industry or in Cement mixes
- Also, if done with pure Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer , the resulting slag should be near pure glass, and thus may be able to be reused quite easily
- This is then used to create new products/materials that are reclaimed from the above system
