exclusively with secondary supplies from end-of-life modules [25]. The value of take-back
and recovery in this case is enormous. The magnitude of these benefits is determined by
the effectiveness of optimizations made to product lifecycles through eco-design, and the
greatest benefits are gained when lifecycle optimization for circular economy starts at the
earliest possible stage in development of technologies, using a multidisciplinary approach
with collaboration between parties involved in all stages of product lifecycles.
