Recycling and disposal are one of the most complicated topics in the lifecycle of a mechanism, especially in case of previous generations of machines that were designed without taking any care of post exploitation period. In the current work, the ‘feasibility points’ of recycling units, methods of recycling as well as pricing formation for recycling materials, reviewed and proposed by several world universities and scientific bureaus and applied by major world brands have been analysed. The general principles that should be rated as a basis when designing and creating new mechanisms, as well as the actions which we consider as a necessary supplement to the existing rules of the lifecycle of assemblies and which should be applied in practice, were introduced by authors in the ‘Management of parts and components for units and assemblies in mechanical engineering industry and its impact on the environment’. It was discovered that even modern assemblies, not to mention previous generations, are being designed without taking into consideration any possibilities of easy recycling the used materials. The number of components of mechanisms, which are being repaired as assemblies, is continuously increasing, while maintainability and repairability of separate parts is decreasing. Taking into account the state of the art in the field, the new approach for promoting the reusing natural resources and decreasing the harmful effects of obsolete components of mechanisms on the environment is proposed. Thus, using the fast-moving parts that in post operational period can be easily detailed by type of a material will ensure more efficient consumption of natural resources. Our research and developments significantly reduce the costs of recycling and these materials become competitive comparing to the new ones. Taking into account the state of the art in the field, the new approach for promoting the reusing natural resources and decreasing the harmful effects of obsolete components of mechanisms on the environment is proposed.
