Experiment process:

• Finding and salvaging dismantled components

• Designing prototypes

• Constructing prototypes at workshop

• Evaluation

18

Process:

Processes are mapped in flow charts with data input for LCA evaluation 

LCA evaluation:

Comparing repurposing with alternative scenario where new 

components are used.
