The Influence of Different Recycling Scenarios on the Mechanical Design of an LED Weatherproof Light Fitting

The Influence of Different Recycling Scenarios on the Mechanical Design of an LED Weatherproof Light Fitting

This paper analyzes the high relevance of material selection for the sustainable development of an LED weatherproof light fitting. The research reveals how this choice modifies current and future end of life scenarios and can reduce the overall environmental impact. This life cycle assessment has be...
