Design for Disassembly

Design for Disassembly (DfD) is an approach in product design that focuses on making it easy to take apart a product at the end of its life cycle. This includes selecting materials and assembly methods that allow for efficient disassembly without damaging components. The goal is to facilitate repair, recycling, or repurposing, thereby reducing waste and conserving resources. DfD promotes sustainability by ensuring that valuable materials can be recovered and reused, rather than ending up in landfills. Ultimately, it supports a circular economy where products are designed with their entire lifecycle in mind.
