Abstract

In their pursuit of a transition towards a circular economy, manufacturers are challenged to implement abstract principles of circularity in product development. Therefore, this paper mentions strategies to enhance resource-effectivity by design. The specific industry case of Remeha, a manufacturer of domestic boilers, focuses at the strategy of resource circulation. To apply this strategy, product engineers are supported with information about relations between product characteristics and reverse cycle processes. A design support tool is developed to represent this information through substantive guidelines for development decisions. A usability test with the target group has verified that this tool provides applicable insights on developing new product solutions.
