Modular design subdivides a system into smaller parts called modules, which can be independently created, modified, replaced or exchanged between different systems. Identify modules
Locate unrecyclable components and materials and unify in one module to be easily removed
Locate materials with a certain recycling method and unify in one module to ease recycling. Strive to design for mono materials in these modules.
Locate components that do not change throughout all generations and unify in one module
Locate components which are subject to a stress, wear, corrode, stain, break or fail and unify in one module
Locate components with a high cost and unify in one module
