Abstract
Small waste electrical and electronic equipment (SWEEE) consists of crucial metals for the realization of their functions. If recycled properly, SWEEE becomes a critical element of urban mines in Japan, which provide stable supply of such crucial metals to manufacturers. Simulation and visualization of the flow of SWEEE at the end-of-life stage are useful for the strategic design of urban mines. The paper introduces a simulation and visualization technique of the recycle flow of SWEEE with life cycle simulation. In particular, the visualization technique provides a novel view for analyzing simulated recycle flow resulting from life cycle simulation.
