Example text

It is important to consider the entire practice, as there might be low hanging fruit also outside the core behaviour. If it has been possible to calculate the actual impact of the behaviours, this information can be used after the project to estimate the achieved improvements and thereby the successfulness of the behaviour changes. Step 1: Study and Measure the Base-Line Practice This step explains how to choose the right methods to gather the most relevant information for a specific project, and why that is an important decision.

However, in many cases different unit processes are combined into one machinery. It is a challenge to determine which part of the energy allocates to which process. It could be possible to exchange unit processes to describe a filling process, however presumably this description of a filling system is not always realistic. The amount of energy, consumables and emissions are dependent on the types and combinations of machinery. The machinery is dependent on the packaging that needs to be filled and the content of the packaging.

The method estimates the recyclability rate and the disassembly time of a product based on the product’s structure, material composition, and EoL scenario. In order to generate design alternatives for increasing the rate while maintaining the disassembly time, sensitivity analysis is conducted on the product by changing its material composition and EoL scenario. Based on the analysis, the method suggests candidates for modifying design which have higher effect on the recyclability. The rest of this paper is organized as follows: Section 2 outlines the concept and procedure of the method.
