“…For an end-of-life electronics company (located in the UK) that refurbishes and recycles used electronics, it is of importance to trace products through the different processes that are carried out. Traceability is required to ensure that processes are adhered to (e.g., data erasure, functional testing), in particular when adhering to publically available standard processes (e.g., PAS 141 Quariguasi- Frota-Neto et al, 2014). The traceability has been achieved using an RFID system where each asset is assigned an ID by attaching an RFID tag to it, and each tag has a different EPC(Electronic Product Code) (Sharpe, 2016).…”

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) system technology is a key element for the realization of the Industry 4.0 vision, as it is vital for tasks such as entity tracking, identification and asset management. However, the plethora of RFID systems’ elements in combination with the wide range of factors that need to be taken under consideration along with the interrelations amongst them, make the problem of identification and design of the right RFID system, based on users’ needs particularly complex. The research outlined in this paper seeks to optimize this process by developing an integrating schema that will encapsulate this information in a form that is both human and machine processible. Human readability will allow a shared understanding of the RFID technology domain; machine readability, automated reasoning engines to perform logical deduction techniques returning implicit information. For this purpose, the novel RFID System Configuration Ontology (RFID SCO) is developed. Hence, non-RFID experts are enabled to identify the most suitable RFID system according to their needs and RFID experts to retrieve all the relevant information required for the efficient design of the corresponding RFID system. The RFID SCO is validated and tested successfully against real-world scenarios provided by domain experts.

“…A British Standard, PAS141 [62] has been developed, specifically focusing on inspection and preparation for reuse of WEEE to provide consumers with confidence that the second-hand goods it covers reach a level of quality and safety [63]; PAS141 is comparable to the Revolve standard developed in Scotland. Reconditioned and remanufactured products face similar barriers to second-hand items with consumers.…”

Discarded electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is a rapidly growing waste stream. This has increased, in part, because advances in technology have contributed to shorter product lifetimes. As such, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has received increasing attention from policy makers. Previous research has revealed the large proportion of end-of-life consumer electronics disposed of through residual waste collections and destined for landfill disposal or incineration. This represents a missed opportunity for extending their lifetime by facilitating recovery for repair or reuse. This paper outlines current policy context, explores routes for end-of-life EEE in the UK and examines opportunities for product life extension through reuse. A series of semi-structured interviews were undertaken to determine if current collection system for end-of-life equipment in the UK adequately encourages increased repair and reuse in line with UK Government's waste reduction programme, or whether there is excessive focus on recycling. The findings are reported to discuss if UK policy framework is adequate to embed legislative requirements and improve current practices and whether the current system promotes awareness and understanding by householders sufficient to encourage behaviour change.
