To reduce waste, we are initiating actions and recycling methods. Our study will focus on the automotive sector, which generates different types of waste, recyclable and non-recyclable. The article explores the innovative integration of product lifecycle management (PLM) from the beginning of life (BOL) to the end of life (EOL) stages, with the goal of creating a comprehensive recycling process. The automotive sector serves as a compelling case study to showcase the practical application of this holistic approach. The study illustrates how aligning BOLandEOLinPLMcanlead to sustainable practices in the automotive industry. The results reveal a remarkable synergy between designing eco-friendly products, efficient manufacturing, and responsible disposal. The article emphasizes the significant environmental and economic benefits of optimizing the entire product lifecycle by connecting these stages. The article presents an automated model embedded within the PLM tool as a notable outcome, reflecting the combined process. The automated model embodies a futuristic vision that seamlessly integrates sustainable practices into product development and management, highlighting the immense potential for industries to contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.}, title={Automating the Recycling Process in PLM: A Case Study from the Automotive Sector}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/133030/PDF/328_3k.pdf}, keywords={PLM, Recycling, BOL, EOF, waste, automation, Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data}, }
