Regulation of responsibilities in end of life management has taken Design for Disassembly and Recycling (DfDR) into the spotlight, but conclusions and proposals for its application have been generated with a particular focus on individual products. General DfDR indications and strategies also exist, but their scope is so broad that they must necessarily be exposed in very conceptual and abstract terms. Analysis of such general strategies is therefore complicated. This paper studies different products and the approaches generated in order to reduce their end-of-life environmental load. Three different electric and electronic product groups have been chosen. Differences can be stated as to their mechanical and electric or electronic complexity: inherently mechanical products, complex electro-mechanical products and inherently electric or electronic products.
