The public perception of the average UK scrap yard is one of a dirty, oil covered, German Sheppard guarded no go zone. This image is not totally unfair, as over the last four decades since the times of the TV. series ‘Steptoe and Son’ very little changed in the way these places were run.

Product Description”This book adds much to the already evolving field of Design for Environment; but it goes far beyond most works on this subject by surrounding the central notions of life cycle assessment with a scientific body of knowledge and with a more practical slant reflecting the reality of the organizations in which product development occurs. Through a focus on plastic products, the authors show the importance of making ties between basic technical knowledge and the process of life cycle engineering. Their approach offers a practical, deliberate way to make ecologically and economically sensible decisions about product reuse and recycling and other critical dimensions of….
