Recychology
Recychology is the study of commodity recovery from processed materials via remanufacturing, mechanical, chemical, and incendiary methods. Recychology has the immediate goal of understanding the most efficient methods of recovery applied to secondary commodities such as ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, precious metals, and petroleum based products in addition to any applied physical material used in manufacturing.

The purpose of Recychology is to assess the reusability and recovery of materials for recycling purposes ultimately aiming for a complete closed loop recovery process.

In this field a researcher or professional practitioner is called a Recychologist. Recychologists explore such concepts as initial engineering, reverse engineering, collection methodology, logistics, metallurgy, cradle to grave design, intrinsic analysis, commodity identification, intrinsic quantification, commodity evaluation, commodity trading, recycling technology, and recycling methodology. Recychologists incorporate research from environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, social sciences, metallurgical studies, and mining technology.

Etymology
The word recychology is a combination of "recycle" and "psychology", first referenced by Edward Rudy Westerneng in 2009.

History
The study of recycling in a general context dates back to ancient civilizations, and most commonly involved the repurposing of metals from damaged, unused, or unwanted weapons and tools with recorded advocates as far back as Plato in 400 BC.

Recychology was first developed in 2009 by Edward Rudy Westerneng in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Recychology was originally intended to be a part time college course, available at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario. Recychology has since expanded to include professional consulting for the recycling industry and an annual publication for industry specific reference, known as the "Recychology Reference".

Recychology is not currently a professional designation, but is supposedly being considered for University level qualifications as an emerging field of study. According to Edward Rudy Westerneng the requirements to hold the title "Recychologist" one must have in excess of 10,000 hours experience in a managerial or research function at a modern recycling facility, with a history of progression and developmental accomplishment within the recycling industry.

Ideology
The study of Recychology is the study of reuse and remanufacturing, identifying that humanity as a species will always be in need of an increasing volume of commodities.

With the onset of modern technology, and modern recycling methods it is the purpose of Recychology to identify and apply the most efficient methodology of commodity recovery to manufactured goods while maintaining the integrity and purity of the secondary commodities recovered.

This field of study includes the acquisition and logistics of collected recyclable materials, initial sorting, processing, refining, and repurposing of all tangible commodities.
