About 20% of environmental impact comes from plastics combined. From the High-tech Radar Systems factsheet in the Overijssel manufacturing transition route analysis. The manufacturing study for Overijssel by New Economy (2020) reports this for radar systems. In high-tech radar systems most value sits in components, which is lost in recycling.
Component retention and life extension keep the value of radar systems intact. This is relevant for manufacturers of high-tech systems, OEMs and organisations in circular electronics.
