Processes and devices for reprocessing magnetic tape cassettes for reuse of the individual parts comprise opening the housing, separating tape roll(s) and metal parts and separately reprocessing the plastic parts, the magnetic tape and the metal parts. Special opening means effect simple opening operations of the housing. Material-identification means can control the reprocessing appropriately for the particular material. All magnetic tape cassettes with at least one reel can be reprocessed.
