“…The assessment set-up was inspired by the procedure described by de Fazio et al [13]. A research protocol consisting of eleven steps is shown in Table 3 to ensure transparency and comparability of the disassembly procedure.…”

“…This paper introduces a new soft-faced-mallet (SFM) tool as a new friction t category. Even though the tool meets the de nition of de Fazio et al, it is observed in the practical attempt that mallet use requires caution while positioning to focus on the right part before tapping [13]. As a result, a tool positioning time of 2.5 s is assigned to a friction t type 2 SFM.…”

“…Type 1 is not de ned as a mallet action always requires the whole hand. De Fazio et al also state that MOST sequences for friction ts do not need a removal task, as the part is already removed within the disconnection sequence [13].…”

“…The spudger, similar to a at screwdriver, is chosen to represent any hand tool different from the human hand to loosen friction ts or snap ts. For these intensities, tool positioning times are differentiated, namely 1,4 s for type 1 and 2 and 2,5 s for type 3 [13]. Positioning times differentiation was introduced by Peeters et al [43].…”

“…This nding is based on the practical tests and the data card for screwing and loosening byZandin [61].Next, friction ts are the dominating fastening method in electric bicycle motors. The applied force to a component has the most signi cant in uence on disassembly time[13]. Three force intensities based on MOST have already been de ned in the original method by Vanegas et al[55].…”

In 2021, sales of electric bicycles in Germany increased compared to the previous year, leading to a 43% share of electric bicycles in the total bicycle market. The German Bicycle Industry Association (ZIV) expects this growth to continue and that by 2025 every second bicycle sold in Germany will have an electric motor. Therefore, due to the increasing popularity, both the built-in resources and the possible treatments after the use phase need to be considered regarding sustainable market development. In this context, remanufacturing is one promising end-of-life strategy that enables a new life cycle of products and components, thus reducing the consumption of natural resources and minimizing waste production. The used products are restored to their original conditions by disassembling, cleaning, sorting, reconditioning, and reassembling. Thereby, disassembly is a decisive process step as it creates the prerequisites for all further steps in the process chain and significantly determines the economic feasibility of a remanufacturing process. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate the ease of disassembly of electric bicycle motors and thus determine their suitability for remanufacturing. To evaluate the disassemblability, the ease of Disassembly Metric (eDiM), a quantitative assessment method for evaluating disassembly effort, was adapted to the needs of the electric bicycle motors. The method was finally applied to five electric bicycle motors from established manufacturers and assessed their ease of disassembly. The results showed that the electric bicycle motors can be disassembled without significant damage and classified as suitable for remanufacturing based on their disassembling ability.

The role of electronic waste management solutions and message framing in influencing consumer behaviours: Exploring the crowdfunding context

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Electronics waste (e‐waste) is the fastest growing category of hazardous solid waste in the world. While the generation of e‐waste has recently attracted the attention of a number of researchers, currently, there is little awareness on its management, monitoring, and control among the consumers of crowdfunding platforms. This is surprising because the supporters (backers) of crowdfunding are usually considered as disruptive innovators by other stakeholders. In this light, this research explores the role of e‐waste management solutions and the formulation of “message framing” in influencing consumer behaviours in crowdfunding contexts. To do this, this study involves an in‐depth investigation of fund‐raising campaigns focused on e‐waste, which were promoted between 2009 and 2020, through Kickstarter's reward‐based crowdfunding platform. The results show that environmentally sustainable projects focused on waste reduction and pollution prevention are generating increased funds and triggering the interest of a number of crowd investors who are willing to finance such laudable initiatives. At the same time, the findings suggest that the fundraisers' elaborate framing messages on environmental protection and on the preservation of the natural eco‐systems can increase the likelihood of the success of their crowdfunding projects. This contribution contributes to both environmental management and to the crowdfunding literature. In conclusion, it offers practical implications for sustainable entrepreneurs who may resort to crowdfunding platforms to raise finance to decrease the accumulation of e‐waste from the planet, as well as for other stakeholders including governments, policymakers, and public agencies.
