Abstract
Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams, yet only a small fraction is properly recycled. Many challenges in recycling originate in product design; for example the choice of materials and joining methods. This paper presents the first version of the Design for Recycling of Electronics Guide, developed to bridge
the gap between design and recycling practice. Based on case studies, shredding experiments, and method reviews,it provides practical guidance to help designers anticipate and improve recyclability during product development.
