Standardize Material Types | ||
Utilize fewer types of plastics and parts to make sorting and subsequent recycling easier and cost effective (reduces manufacturing costs). | ||
Use Recycled Content Materials | ||
Develop a way to integrate recycled content materials into products as opposed to relying on virgin materials or purchase recycled content materials from other vendors for use in products. | ||
Use refurbished/reconditioned parts | ||
Implement a reuse system to accept used systems. Some materials can be separated and reused. Materials can be separated more easily if material types have been standardized. | ||
Remanufacture products | ||

Make sorting secondary materials easier | ||
Label materials (like plastic resins) with moldings to make sorting and reclaiming secondary materials easier at the time of disassembly. |
