Abstract:
A recycling method of collecting used products or machines from the market, processing the collected machines to produce recycled machines as new products, and providing the recycled machines to the market, the recycling method comprising:a classification step of classifying the collected machines on the basis of classifier unit information including definitions on classifications and specific classifier units for classifying the collected machines in accordance with recycling process levels; a fractionation step of decomposing and fractionating the classified machines on the basis of fractionator unit information including definitions on decomposer/fractionator units for further decomposing and fractionating specific machines of the collected machines classified in the classification step and on fractionated basic matters including decomposed and fractionated basic units, components and materials; a physical action step of applying a physical action to the fractionated basic matters on the basis of physical action information including definitions on a physical actor unit for applying a physical action to a specific basic matter selected from the fractionated basic matters and on a physically acted basic matter after application of the physical action; a recycled material production step of producing a recycled material on the basis of recycled material producer unit information including definitions on recycled material producer units for producing recycled materials from the physically acted basic matter and on standard values of recycled materials; a recycled component production step of producing a recycled component from the recycled materials on the basis of recycled component producer unit information including definitions on recycled component producer units for producing recycled components from the recycled materials and on standard values of recycled components; and a recycle unit definition step of creating the classifier unit information, the fractionator unit information, the physical action information, the recycled material producer unit information and the recycled component producer unit information, and transferring each of the information to the classification step, the fractionation step, the physical action step, the recycled material production step and the recycled component production step, respectively.
