摘要
In order to discuss the optimal resource circulation strategy of refrigerators, actual resource recovery experiments and a life-cycle simulation were carried out. The combined processing of disassembly and shredding had the most high recovery rate, more than 80 wt.% of a refrigerator, while the disassembly can recover only 30 wt.% of components as a re-usable component. An alternative strategy, the elongation of life span, had a good performance in improving the resource circulation characteristics. The two-life scenario can decrease the environmental load by twice that of the conventional recycling scenario. However, the elongation of life span does not become a successful resource circulation strategy until the old refrigerator was up-graded to a low-energy consumption type after one life-span running.
