Design for recycling Sample Clauses

The 'Design for recycling' clause requires that products or materials be created in a way that facilitates their eventual recycling. This typically involves specifying the use of recyclable materials, minimizing the use of mixed or hazardous substances, and ensuring that components can be easily separated at the end of the product's life. By embedding these requirements into the design phase, the clause helps reduce environmental impact and supports compliance with sustainability regulations, ultimately making it easier to recover and reuse resources.
Design for recycling. For all product models first placed on the EU market after 1 January 2012: • Plastic parts >100 g shall be manually separable into recyclable plastic streams with commonly available tools. • Product shall utilize commonly used fasteners for joining components, subassemblies, chassis and enclosures. • Non-separable connections (e.g. glued, welded) between different materials shall be avoided unless they are technically or legally required. • Product plastics shall be marked by material type (ISO 11469 referring ISO 1043, resin identification code, SPI, DIN, or country specific). Marking requirement does not apply to plastic parts weighing less than 25 g or with surface area less than 50 cm²; tape; plastic protective and stretch wraps and labels; or plastic pieces when due to shape marking is not possible. Exempted are plastic parts contained in reused complex modules. An exemption from the criteria in sections 5.1 and 5.2 will be acceptable for models that are sold in small numbers (less than 5,000 units per year), on the ground that the cost of implementing the criteria is disproportionate to the sales of the product. Exceptions should be reported to the Independent Inspector (see Annex C for reporting template).

Design for recycling. 5.2.1 Design for recycling for hardware For all Products: • Plastic parts >100 g shall be manually separable into recyclable plastic streams with Commonly Available Tools • Product shall utilize Commonly Used Fasteners for joining components, subassemblies, chassis and enclosures • Non-separable connections (e.g. glued, welded) between different materials shall be avoided unless they are technically or legally required • Product plastics shall be marked by material type (ISO 11469 referring ISO 1043, resin identification code, SPI, DIN, or country specific). Marking requirement does not apply to plastic parts weighing less than 25 g or with surface area less than 50 cm²; tape; plastic protective and stretch wraps and labels; or plastic pieces when marking is not possible due to shape. Plastic parts contained in reused complex modules are exempted. 5.2.2 Design for dismantling for recycling and recovery for hardware: Signatories shall ensure that joining, fastening or sealing techniques do not prevent access to the following components (when present) in a non-destructive extraction method without requiring proprietary or not Commonly Available Tools: • Batteries • Printed circuit boards greater than 10 cm² • Ink and toner Cartridges • Plastic containing brominated flame retardants • Liquid crystal displays greater than 100 cm² • External electric cables • Electrolyte capacitors containing substances of concern (height > 25 mm, diameter > 25 mm or proportionately similar volume) Accessing such components shall be facilitated by Signatories documenting the sequence of dismantling operations needed to access the targeted components, i.e. each of these operations, the type and the number of joining, fastening and sealing
