本文提出了新的回收设计(DFR)策略，该策略被整合到一个新的软件工具中，将致力于汽车碎纸机残渣回收的新兴技术的使用与拆卸策略的设计结合在一起。延伸的生产者责任迫使制造商在其生命周期中保持产品责任。因此，制造商面临着以对环境负责的方式处置产品的压力。汽车工业尤其参与了这些过程，特别是欧盟指令规定了报废车辆的最低重复使用率和回收率。这一框架为越来越多地使用回收工具和做法的专用设计提供了动力。目前的报废车辆处理体现为两个行业：拆解和粉碎。如果直到最近拆解仍是DFR的一项关键战略，汽车业一直在投资开发自动化技术，以促进汽车碎纸机残渣的回收，作为更多劳动密集型拆卸活动的替代方案。然而，现有的DFR工具强调将拆卸设计作为主要的DFR策略，基于产品将在其生命周期结束时进行拆卸的信念。本文介绍了一种新的方法，包括材料的粉碎后分类和后续回收，并描述了一种新的DFR工具，该工具通过充分结合拆解、粉碎和粉碎后的活动，识别旨在实现给定回收和再使用率的经济最佳回收策略。
This paper presents novel design for recycling (DfR) strategies that were incorporated in a new software tool, combining the use of emerging technologies dedicated to automobile shredder residue recycling, together with design for dismantling strategies. Extended producer responsibility enforces manufacturers to maintain product responsibility along its life cycle. As a consequence, manufacturers are under pressure to dispose of products in an environmentally responsible manner. The auto industry has been particularly involved in these processes and, in particular, European Union directives stipulate minimum reuse and recovery rates for end-of-life vehicles. This framework provides a motivation for the increasing use of dedicated design for recycling tools and practices. The current end-of-life vehicle processing is embodied by two industries: dismantling and shredding. If until recently dismantling was a key strategy in DfR, the auto industry has been investing in the development of automated technologies to promote the recycling of automobile shredder residue, as an alternative of more labour-intensive dismantling activities. However, existing DfR tools emphasize design for dismantling as a major DfR strategy, based on the belief that a product is to be disassembled at the end of its life. This paper introduces a new approach that includes, as an end-of-life processing strategy, postshredding sorting of materials and subsequent recycling, and describes a new DfR tool that provides the identification of economically optimum recycling strategies aimed at achieving given recycling and reuse rates, by adequately combining dismantling, shredding, and postshredding activities.
