Disassembly and recycling cost analysis of waste notebook and the efficiency improvement by re-design process

► The notebook disassembly and recycle benefits were evaluated using Prodtect. ► The time for disassembly was reduced after introducing the eco-design practice. ► The recycle revenue was increased with the Prodtect-modified re-design process. ► The mass of the recycled parts can be significantly reduced. ► This is the first reported-study for notebook recycle evaluation using Prodtect.
