Download (6 MB) - Manufacturing mechatronic products is associated with high energy demand, critical raw materials, and complex manufacturing conditions. One way to solve this problem is through a circular economy, which makes it possible to conserve resources and ensure sustainable development. For instance, waste is prevented by reusing and repairing existing products. If this is not possible, the products are broken down into their basic materials - the raw materials - so they can be reused. Researchers from Paderborn University and the Fraunhofer Institutes (Paderborn) and ÜBerlin) are currently working to extend this principle to an integrated circular product development process for intelligent technical systems.
