Introduction The transition to a circular economy is driven by the imperative to reduce waste and optimize resource use. Central to this transformation are Digital Product Passports (DPPs), envisioned as a digital tool to store, track, and communicate essential product sustainability and circularity data. However, to make circular practices like reuse, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and recycling viable at scale, DPPs must include detailed, relevant information tailored to disassembly schemes. This is particularly critical in hybrid human-robot cooperative systems, which aim to balance scalability, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. As circular strategies become embedded into manufacturing and policy, this study explores the disassembly information required in DPPs and proposes a novel metric—Re-DiM—to quantify the ease of disassembly within such systems. Disassembly Pathways in Circular Economy: Challenges and Opportunities Effective disassembly is the cornerstone of circular acti...
