This papers focuses on Recovery Conscious Design for electr(on)ic products. It presents a new tool that has been developed following requirements from industrial partners. The tool is made of quantitative Recoverability Indicators calculated on the Bill of Materials of the sub-assemblies of the product. The indicators can be used to track recoverability problems in the product. It is shown through the simulation of the application of the new tool on a case-study that it could be very beneficial at various stages of the product design in order to drive the product design process from a recoverability perspective.
