➀ The ZIRKEL consortium developed automated disassembly and material recovery methods for electric motors and high-voltage batteries in vehicles, focusing on resource efficiency;

➁ Fraunhofer IWU created a robot-assisted system using AI and machine vision to dismantle components even when dirty or worn, generating detailed disassembly guidelines and design recommendations for recyclability;

➂ Key insights emphasize integrating 'Design for Recycling' into product development to enable economically viable circular systems, with practical solutions like unified screw connections and magnet recovery techniques.
