Abstract :
This study presents the results of a disassembly assessment that was carried out during the design and development of the “iameco II” as part fulfilment for the European Ecolabel for Personal Computers. The “iameco II” (pronounced `i am eco´) shown in Figure 1, aims to be the first Energy Star Class B category computer to secure the European Eco-flower.
