Making decisions early in the design process to ensure easy and effective recycling or reuse often involves designing products for disassembly. Materials need to be easily, quickly and cost-effectively taken apart at end-of-life to separate into components and sort by material. The more complex the product, such as electronics, the harder this task becomes.
