In order to avoid costly retrieving of equipment on their end of life, the designers should state the recovery, remanufacturing and recycling procedures, before specifying their structural characteristics. Taking into account effectively the recycling capacity of equipment even since the design stage, enhances both the industrial ecology by rational use of natural resources and energy and the waste reducing. The remanufacturing of the technological equipment may be significantly increased by their projecting and design towards remanufacturing, looking for the principles of durable development.
