CIRCULARITY OF PLASTICS THROUGH ECODESIGN: THE CASE OF FRENCH WEEE

Abstract While innovation in waste treatment processes continue to advance, plastics are still often put aside comparison other materials. It is especially the case for WEEE-plastics: as they included complex equipment, their recovery disregarded, aid of critical metals and rare earths. The recycling hindered by low re-integration rate these materials, due concerns around quality availability. Ecodesign EEE thus seems be a robust solution. This paper details two approaches assess product design, respectively evaluating recyclability implementation predefined ecodesign guidelines. Based on methods, construction standard recycled France presented. definition includes mechanical properties, but chemical, logistics, regulatory aspects also at stake. Eventually, indexes indicators selected, method formal proposed. goal this study provide ways overall usability plastics, along with design circularity methods integrate them new manufactured products.
