Abstract :
To support quantitative foundations for assessing priorities for ecodesign, a structured methodology is presented to analyse uncertainties from issues affecting end-of-life routes. A range of end-of-life scenarios reflecting likely developments such as in technology, economy and legislation are drawn. By translating scenarios into model parameters of a calculation module, effects from various developments can be assessed and ranked in order to gain insight in those issues that should receive priority and those that should not
