10 FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE PROS and CONS of REUSE Construction criteria (kind and variety of parts and materials used, suitability for disassembly, cleaning, testing) Quantitative criteria (amount of returning products, timely and regional availability, ) Value criteria (value added from material/production/assembly) Time criteria (e.g. planned product life time versus effective life time, ) Innovation criteria (replacement of products a long time before they reach their economic end of life) Disposal criteria (efforts and cost of alternative processes to recycle the products and possible hazardous components, ) Criteria regarding compatibility of reused devices with standards of newly EEE (competing or cooperation with OEMs, ) Other criteria (market behavior, liabilities, patents, intellectual property rights, ) VDI 2343 PART Reuse - Technical aspects-
