→ od:genericSuggestion → "During the end of life, reduce the energy required for disassembling the product, by making its components more easily separable or self-separable (i.e. active disassembly) when subjected to the action of fields, physical effects or substances, in order to reduce or eliminate the need of dedicated operations and machineries and their energy consumption. This is possible thanks to the behavior of the internal structure, materials and shape of these components to external stimuli."@en
