Abstract
To identify the use of simulation models in design for circular economy (DfCE) this paper reviews prior work in this domain and classifies them according to the primary application objectives. Our review suggests there is limited prior work utilizing unit-level manufacturing process simulation models for DfCE. To this end, our paper illustrates a methodology for supporting DfCE using unit manufacturing process simulations through modeling the effects of design and manufacturing parameters on product CE performance.
