Product recovery Strategy
This is the process of separating the component parts of a product to recover the parts and materials.
This is reusing a product in the same context or in a different context.
example
Reusing is utilising an object more than one time.
This takes into account of conventional reuse where the object is used again for similar purpose, and new-life reuse where it is used for an innovative purpose.
An example of reusing is using disposable plastic or glass bottles to drink water from over again.
It's about using the materials from obsolete products to create other products.
Advantages
It decreases the consumption of unsullied raw resources, trims down energy usage, lowering air and water pollution by dropping the need for “usual” waste discarding, and lastly lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
It's the processing used materials into novel products in order to avert squandering potentially functional materials.
Is the reconstruction or renewal of any part of an existing structure or device.

Reconditioning is rebuilding a product so that it is in an “as new” condition, by repairing it, cleaning it, or replacing parts.
A re-engineered product has been significantly redesigned, with improved engineering, from its original form.
Reducing the overall size, weight and number of materials is a simple way of reducing the overall environmental impact of a product.
