The five most commonly reported sources of complexity in disassembly operations are:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&#8211; accessibility by hand or tool<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&#8211; the positioning position required by hand or tool<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&#8211; the force required<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&#8211; the range of non standard tools required<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&#8211; the base time required to complete the task<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2022 Design for materials to be used as full sheets, minimising the need to cut and shape boards to bespoke sizes that are not well suited for future usage. Standard sizes are easier to reuse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2022 Use a minimised number of uniform mechanical connections that can be easily separated or disjoined. This includes snap fit fasteners and removable screws or nails instead of glues and staples.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><strong>Workshops Specialising in Sustainable Making:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/footprintscenery.co.uk\/\">Footprint Scenery<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marmosetconstruction.com\">Marmoset Construction<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><strong>Materials:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuffincycles.com\/en\/materialien\/\">Stuff<\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurematerialsbank.com\/\">Future Materials Bank<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatredesign.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/A-Guide-to-Sustainable-Materials-for-Theatre-Design.pdf\">SBTD&#8217;s Materials Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weareisla.co.uk\/guide\/materials-library\/?utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz--POvW2JQ-qaIw8qyPmFCpvMozcOR2L7bKTdgB7Rm-w8A9uZRx05SBLHSQaMJ_JY2ohBbWJX6wK0_g_kdPfmrJwhA9QPsbUcT63eEoZ98_UOtZrLRM&amp;_hsmi=118739218&amp;utm_content=118739218&amp;utm_source=hs_email\">isla Materials Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/sustainableproductions-toolkit\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Back to The Toolkit&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theatre Green Book PRODUCTIONS Toolkit &#8211; Designing and Making &nbsp; Making Sustainable Sets and ScenerySustainable Making: Principles Making sets and scenery sustainably means: \u2022 Achieving Green Book targets for reuse an recycling \u2022 Sourcing new materials sustainably \u2022 Avoiding harmful materials \u2022 Using modular framing and construction wherever possible \u2022 Making in such a way [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1121,"featured_media":0,"parent":327,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-554","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1121"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":252016,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/554\/revisions\/252016"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
