A Permit Market Approach to Foster Sustainable Manufacturing of Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Philipp Bohr, Timothy Gutowski

In the course of this project, an analysis of plausible regulatory incentive schemes to foster sustainable manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment is conducted. The main emphasis is on closing material loops via reuse, remanufacturing and recycling. This will be complemented by a balanced accounting for related environmental aspects and considerations of eco-efficiency.
