What Reverse Logistics & Circularity requires
Compliance for returned asset disposition is governed by a multi-stage evaluation process to ensure regulatory adherence and maximize value recovery. Initial triage assesses an item’s physical state using a `product_condition_score` from one to ten. Products achieving a score of 9 or 10 are determined `is_eligible_for_resale_as_is`, while an item scoring between 6 and 8 may qualify for refurbishment, provided that `is_repair_cost_effective` evaluates to true because estimated repair costs are less than 40% of its new market value. For assets where `requires_data_sanitization` is flagged, a mandatory `data_sanitization_level_required` from Level 1 (Clear) to Level 3 (Destroy) must be executed to mitigate data privacy risks; such items also mandate a `requires_secure_chain_of_custody` for auditable tracking. Furthermore, any product identified as `contains_regulated_materials` must be handled according to strict protocols aligned with environmental directives like WEEE and RoHS. The node also validates if an `epr_scheme_applicable` governs the item's jurisdiction, enforcing producer obligations. If refurbishment is not viable, a final check determines if `is_component_harvesting_viable` for salvaging valuable parts before responsible recycling or disposal.
