Single-use cameras within a multi-use concept - ecological (non)sense!?

On behalf of Agfa-Gevaert AG the Fraunhofer IML was partner in developing the APS film with lens camera "Agfa Easy" in the fields of eco-design and reverse logistics. An eco-balance-methodology-based comparison between the preceding and the new camera model reveals an overall ecological benefit for the reuse concept. The benefit of reuse of parts and materials outweighs the negative ecological impact of worldwide reverse logistics by far.
