PLM and Eco-Design of Electronic Products According with Circular Economy Principles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article is focused on new application of eco-design in the field of electronics. The concept of circular economy is a new trend in manufacturing technologies. It is not clear when an electronic product, being the last phase of lifecycle, will be defined as a waste. According with principles of circular economy there is no waste, only resources. The designer needs to design the electronic products taking in consideration the amount of resources which is the outcome of PLM. The Waste of Electronic and Electric Equipments (WEEE) is used as an input for another industrial process. Thus, the cycle is completed, nothing is lost and there is no pollution.
