Life cycle management – End-of-Life
Research Project, 2011
– 2016
The project investigates strategies to improve the life cycle sustainability performance of products through end-of-use management. The project process involves:
- understanding the current end-of-use status by reviewing and mapping the current product-material flows;
- assessing the potential for environmental improvement through end-of-use strategies for different product categories; and
- development of an end-of-use management strategy, involving remanufacturing, product-service offerings, recycling and others
