The Main IdeaThe Main Idea
The reuse of goods is economically and ecologically superior to the recycling of materials.
Although feasible, a change to utilization-focused economies requires a change in corporate and governmental mind-set.

Waste-reduction and Waste-reduction and Resource-saving StrategiesResource-saving Strategies
Reuse– Slowdown of material flow from production to
recycling or disposal– Waste prevention– Reduced environmental effects from transport
Recycling– Does not affect speed of material flow through
economy

Reuse vs. RecyclingReuse vs. Recycling

Economic Incentive (?)Economic Incentive (?)
The smaller the loop, the more profitable it is.
In a free market, the ‘invisible hand’ would guide manufacturers toward reuse.
Instead, they focus on recycling.Will extending life of goods cause the
economy to break down?

ClaimsClaims
Stahel makes many claims but backs up few– “One important difference is that the smaller
loop, the more profitable it is(Table 1)”
One would expect table one to support this claim

Data PresentedData Presented
Article published 1994
The only data presented is dated 1976, 18 years prior to publication
The data used to back Stahel’s claim is not even real, and to complicate is presented in non-intuitive metric

Stahel’s main pointStahel’s main point
In order to enter into a reuse economy Stahel requires a change in these “basic economic concepts”– A change in the notion of economic value from “exchange value”
to “utilization value”– A change in the notion of risk from entrepreneurial to pure risk– A different attitude toward ownership where the status of
utilization becomes dominant over that of property– A change in the function of the point of sale from a one-time
point-of-no-return in the transfer of liability and full ownership to a point of service that includes periodic negotiation

Stahel’s main point contStahel’s main point cont
Stahel’s proposed “reuse economy” does not follow the idea of the brain doesn’t change so technology must
Stahel’s plan requires vast socioeconomic changes that go against the grain of present day society
To justify the necessity of these changes Stahel provides no evidence but his own commentary

Engineering PracticesEngineering Practices
Stahel does provide a list of many good engineering practices which should become common practice
These are located on page 188
This list is the true value of Stahel’s article
