In order to realize a sustainable society, economically feasible recycling is essential. Such a system requires effective utilization of product and recycling process information for environmentally conscious product design and efficient, high quality recycling. A prototype of an ecological information system that enables information exchange between manufacturers and recyclers has been developed. Basic functions have been examined and future objectives for practical installation are being discussed
