Abstract

Due to new legal requirements producers nowadays have an increasing responsibility to close the substance flow loops. Substantial ecological and economical optimization potentials exist for the extended Supply Chain Management between supplier, manufacturer, re-manufacturer and recycler. Critical for an efficient design and implementation is a mutual information basis for the product design phase, and the end of life phase that enables coordinated planning
