<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To assist design improvement by quantifying, assuming that a globally distributed commodity is disposed of as a waste product by different recycle methods in different regions or countries, the recycle cost and environmental load accrued by different processing methods using the product design information. <P>SOLUTION: In these method and system, the product information and the regional recycle characteristics are input to determine the recycle method by region. Further, the recycle cost/environmental load by region are quantified based on the product design information using the basic unit information of the recycle cost and environmental load by region. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
