Abstract: Abstract The scarcity of resources means that recycling is becoming increasingly important to minimize environmental damage and to compete in the global marketplace. However, recycling rates are still relatively low, especially for plastic products. This is mainly because there is an information gap between the product design and end-of-life phases. We want to develop a decision support tool that provides the designers of plastic products with important information and supports design decisions based on ecological, but also economical and functional criteria. To achieve this, we apply a design science research approach and rely mainly on expert interviews results.
