Abstract
Effective end-of-life vehicle (ELV) management is crucial for minimizing the environmental and health impacts of Indonesia’s growing automotive industry. However, proper ELV management has received limited attention. To bridge this gap, we conducted a qualitative study to identify barriers to effective ELV management in Indonesia’s automotive sector. Through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis, we identified internal and external factors influencing ELV management. Our findings reveal major barriers, including inadequate government regulation and enforcement, insufficient infrastructure and technology, low education and awareness, and a lack of financial incentives. We also identified internal factors such as limited infrastructure, inadequate strategic planning, and challenges in waste management and cost collection methods. Based on these findings, we recommend a comprehensive and integrated approach to ELV management involving enhanced coordination among government, industry, and stakeholders. The government should enforce regulations and provide financial incentives to encourage proper ELV management practices. Industry players should invest in technology and infrastructure to support effective ELV treatment. By addressing these barriers and implementing our recommendations, policymakers can develop sustainable ELV management policies and decisions in Indonesia’s fast-paced automotive sector. Our study contributes valuable insights to guide the development of effective strategies for ELV management and sustainability in Indonesia.
