We consider recycling as a complex, non-mechanical function during the design phase, and its impact on the main structural function of a component by applying the novel spiral development method. The integration of the function is defined and included at the requirements and the design phase. Here, the recycling-as-a-function approach aims to design by meeting the recycling criteria.
