19.1 Valorisation of the equipment
Our Functional Units are composed
of recyclable elements.
The tables (§ 19.5) give information
and figures for the types of mate-
rials, their quality and their methods
of valorisation.
They enable the following:
− Calculation to be made of the
capacities for valorisation,
− Optimising the valorisation pro-
cess,
− Evaluating the cost of valorisation.
The indications given in tables
(§ 19.5) facilitate co−operation bet-
ween users and companies specia-
lised in elimination to valorise the
product at the end of the product’s
service life.
