Description
Used tablet computers come from tablets that are discarded during consumption (not intended for reuse or remanufacturing of the whole machine). The process represented in this dataset is that after entering the dismantling workshop, the used tablet computer is decomposed using manual and mechanical physical processes to form dismantling products such as materials or parts, and manual disassembly uses manual, pneumatic, and power tools to dismantle all components or parts that can be directly removed (excluding chargers, power cords, headphones and other accessories).
Activity Description
This dataset represents the process of obtaining valuable recycled products through the disassembly of used tablet computers, including energy consumption and the generation of waste components.
