Irreversible technologies are a burden. A typology of take back or reversibility is developed and discussed on the basis of irreversible technologies. It is proposed to include reversibility as a value criterion for technology assessment. Some considerations on the design of reversible technologies are presented.}, number={1}, journal={TATuP - Zeitschrift für Technikfolgenabschätzung in Theorie und Praxis}, author={Kornwachs, Klaus}, year={2021}, month={Mar.}, pages={63–68} }
