Abstract

This paper explores the Design for Disassembly (DfD) methodological approach in the furniture design process. Design for Disassembly is a product design strategy that enables a product to be disassembled for easier maintenance allowing cost-effective recovery of reusable components and materials, which are important for optimizing products for reuse and recycling at the end of their life cycle. The modular concept further enhances this approach by allowing for interchangeable parts enabling customers to repair and upgrade their furniture without needing a complete replacement. Furthermore, this paper provides an overview of Design for Disassembly approaches on furniture development as an effective tool for significant reduction for new raw materials using recycled mahogany material that result from adopting these practices. The main aim of this research is to support the current and future development in the field of disassembly, promoting a more sustainable utilization of resources, contributing to a circular economy and minimizing the environmental impact of furniture manufacturing.

Modüler mobilyalarda geri dönüştürülmüş maun malzemesi kullanılarak sökme yöntemi için tasarımın entegrasyonu

Abstract

Bu çalışma, mobilya tasarım sürecinde Demontaj İçin Tasarım (DiT) metodolojik yaklaşımını incelemektedir. Demontaj İçin Tasarım, ürünün daha kolay bakım için demonte edilmesini sağlayan ve yeniden kullanılabilir bileşenlerin ve malzemelerin maliyet etkin bir şekilde geri kazanılmasını sağlayan bir ürün tasarım stratejisidir; bu bileşenler, yaşam döngülerinin sonunda yeniden kullanım ve geri dönüşüm için ürünleri optimize etmek için önemlidir. Modüler konsept, değiştirilebilir parçalara izin vererek bu yaklaşımı daha da geliştirir ve müşterilerin mobilyalarını tamamen değiştirmeye gerek kalmadan onarmalarını ve yükseltmelerini sağlar. Ayrıca, bu çalışma, bu uygulamaları benimsemekten kaynaklanan geri dönüştürülmüş maun malzemesini kullanarak yeni hammaddeler için önemli bir azalma sağlayan etkili bir araç olarak mobilya geliştirmede Demontaj İçin Tasarım yaklaşımlarına genel bir bakış sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, demontaj alanındaki mevcut ve gelecekteki gelişmeleri desteklemek, kaynakların daha sürdürülebilir bir şekilde kullanılmasını teşvik etmek, döngüsel ekonomiye katkıda bulunmak ve mobilya üretiminin çevresel etkisini en aza indirmektir.
