Abstract :
A new concept for design for disassembly, “active disassembly”, is critically reviewed. The disassembly process is characterized both by disassembly energy and disassembly entropy. Disassembly energy is supplied indirectly but efficiently by a certain mechanism built-in the product or by releasing a potential energy built-in the assembly which may be triggered by a smaller energy. Active disassembly combining the quantitative evaluation of disassemblability provides a new possibility of design for disassembly
