: Can anybody help? I am a final year student at the
: university of Leeds, beginning a study into the new
: EC legislation on the take back of waste electrical
: and electronic equipment (WEEE). I am approaching
: this study from the design stage, examining companies
: policies and strategies for designing products that
: are easily dismantled for recycling.
: I am considering the materials used in products
: in particular the mixtures of polymers, the amount of
: toxic or hazadous substances, the amount of recyclable
: materials and non-renewable materials. I am also
: considering the choice of metal finishes used in
: product manufacture. I am considering the materials
: used in view of material recovery, whether that is
: in terms of product re-use, recycling material content
: or energy recovery. I would be most appreciative if
: there is a manufacturer or designer reading this who
: could send me some information. I am looking for
: information on the products themselves and if possible
: information on the decision making tools used to
: decide which products should be incorporated into
: the final product.
: Many Thanks
: Antonio.
