Each part is removed while the information reading device 31 is brought close to the exhaust module 103 and the related information of each product is read. The reading of the related information by the information reading device 31 is performed in an environment where the influence of electrical noise is not exerted.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the engine controller 1
01, the intake system module 20 and the engine body 102,
The exhaust system module 103 is removed.

The related information read by the information reading device 31 is output (notified) to the speaker 37 and the display 38 so that the worker in the dismantling work site can see and hear it.

The operator is the speaker 37 and the display 3
According to the related information output to 8, the engine controller 101 and the exhaust system module 103 are disassembled, and each disassembled part is classified and collected for recycling or disposal. Similarly, the engine is disassembled into an engine body 102 (for example, an assembly of a cylinder block and a cylinder head) and an intake system module 20, each of the engine body 102 and the intake module 20 is disassembled according to related information, and each disassembled part is classified. It is recycled and recovered or disposed of.

A first storage device, such as the engine body 20 and the exhaust system module 103 (first component), which is attached to the outside and is exposed to an environment of a predetermined temperature or higher or a predetermined electromagnetic field value or higher when the product is used. (First storage means) 1
In the case of 0, the related information stored in the first storage device 10 before use of the product (particularly, material information regarding disposal (whether recyclable), arrangement information for the product, disassembly method, etc.) is read by the information reading device 31. The read information is read by the information writing device 32, the EEPROM 101a built in the engine controller 101, the engine controller 101, the intake system module 20 (second
The components are stored in the second storage device 10 (second storage means) installed in the components and the arithmetic processing unit).
