This three-sentence summary provides the essential information about determining the percentage of a technical object's total mass that is reusable and/or recyclable:
The document outlines the process for a group to analyze the percentage of reusable and recyclable material in a technical object by first listing its total mass and then calculating the mass and percentage of its material components that are reusable, recyclable, or composite. Data on the object's material categories will be recorded including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites to determine the total percentage of its mass that can be reused or recycled.
