The Recyclable Design Challenge: Strengthening the Case for Early Intervention

Experts contend that incorporating recyclability considerations into the initial design phase of furniture production is crucial for maximizing resource efficiency and minimizing waste. They argue that early design choices, such as material selection and joinery techniques, significantly impact the ease and cost-effectiveness of later recycling efforts. Therefore, they recommend prioritizing recyclable design principles from the very beginning of the product development process.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the experts’ argument?
