| Research Abstract |
When reconditioned parts taken from used products are incorporated into the product newly manufactured, the environmental impact when the product is manufactured becomes small because the manufacturing frequency of new parts decreases. It is necessary to withstand a longer service life for the reuse of components, which may increase the environmental impact. In this study, probability distributions for physical lifespan of reuse-intended parts by which the environmental impact is minimized are obtained by a life cycle simulation technique.
