Course subject(s) Module 3 Design for Recycling at the Material Level

Complete the following steps:

  1. Read the information about the complexity level tool in module 3.
  2. Examine the images of each part (on the following pages) closely.
  3. Answer the following questions:
    • What is each part’s complexity level, according to the tool? Explain why.
    • Which of the 5 parts is the easiest to manufacture out of a recycled grade and would therefore be the best starting point for applying recycled plastics in this design? Explain why.
