Abstract

In the area of end-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling, Japan passed the Automobile Recycling Law in January 2005, the first in Asia. Korea followed suit with the passage of the resource circulation method in 2009. China is expected make a new recycling law in 2011. In contribution to these initiatives, Tohoku University made a comparative analysis of ELV recycling laws, advance dismantling experiments and scenario analysis to promote international cooperation. This is envisioned to introduce ELV recycling system in Japan, China and Korea and in developing countries as well.

Preliminary study on End-of-Life Vehicles recycling rate for Malaysia
2023, Energy Reports
Malaysia has yet to introduce a proper laws and regulations that allow appropriate disposal of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV). Moreover, there are lacks data captured regarding the management of ELV across different management due to unknown practices and systems. The implementation of non-environmentally ELV processed which include river dumping has raised varied issues. Recently, Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) has introduced several measures starting with the introduction of national automotive policy towards the importance of reuse, repair, remanufacturing and recycle (4R) concept on ELV management and development of Authorised Automotive Treatment Facility (AATF) to dismantle ELV parts. To evaluate the importance and AATF functions, a study was conducted to examine and characterise AATF process in Malaysia and evaluate the wastes generated from the practices. From the initial results, the recycling rate of ELV done in AATF has managed to achieve 90%. Moreover, it is expected that more materials and components can be recycled and recovered due to the involvement of additional ELV treatment stakeholders.
Analyzing barriers for implementing new vehicle scrap policy in India
2023, Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment
Developed countries have already implemented a vehicle scrap policy that prevents the on-road usage of old vehicles beyond a certain age to curtail pollution. Recently Indian government also announced its plans and policies for vehicle scraping. There is a multitude of barriers to the implementation of such a policy in India. This paper identifies and models all implementation barriers. Literature review and interactions with various stakeholders helped to identify the barriers. The identified barriers are processed with a hybrid methodology, which is a combination of the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy process and the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory. The data is modeled in a fuzzy context to account for issues of ambiguity and subjectivity. This study helps policymakers and other stakeholders by identifying the barriers to vehicle scrap policy implementation in India. Furthermore, this paper offers insights for future research in developing policies and practices for India's emerging vehicle scrap business.
Remanufacturing using end-of-life vehicles and electrical and electronic equipment polymer recyclates - a paradigm for assessing the value proposition
2021, International Journal of Lightweight Materials and Manufacture
Citation Excerpt :
Many End-of-Life Vehicles (EoLVs) manufactured since 2010 have a high content of polymeric materials with significant potential for recycling, but instead is becoming a growing sector for landfill world-wide. Options for disposal by incineration are limited and Circular Economy requirements are gaining increasing interest [21–34]. Waste from Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) comprises polymers, polymer composites and other vital materials; however, there are many inevitable problems which hinder its recycling, and are discussed in the extensive literature [35–52].
Over 400 million tonnes of plastics are produced on earth every year and are the most used materials on the globe. As a result, polymeric material-based waste has been accumulating, and now can be found not only in designated waste tips on land, but also as pollution all over the world. Therefore, it is timely to accelerate global recycling plans to minimize the use of natural resources. At present, end-of-life vehicles (EOLV) and electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) are two major sources of waste. Such waste includes a combination of polymers, which are hard to separate. Because the properties of blends of polymer are not well-understood, the recycling opportunities for such wastes are hindered. Hence, this paper aims to extend the knowledge concerning the re-processing of such recycled polymers, as a first step towards developing a more effective circular manufacturing economy. Three types of recycled polymers were tested under various processing conditions, and the effects of six different process parameters were investigated, including chip size and morphology. The results confirm that properties and processing behaviour of recycled materials can be highly variable, and hence difficult to predict. This highlights the importance of better selection and screening of scrap polymers, to remove undesirable content from the material batch. Knowing the exact constituents of each batch of material to be recycled means that appropriate process settings can be selected, to achieve better material properties in the recycled end product. In addition, energy and materials costs can be reduced by optimizing process parameters such as the set temperatures, pressures, and product dimensions. Tests carried out with different recycled polymer chip sizes indicate that size grading would be worthwhile, as would the reforming of chips to flattened discs or strings. Such additional processing could represent considerable value proposition to the recycled material preparation industry.
Driving vehicle dismantling forward - A combined literature and empirical study
2021, Journal of Cleaner Production
To move towards a more sustainable and circular economy, a more efficient recovery processes for end-of-life vehicles and their constituent components and materials is needed. To enable reuse, remanufacturing, high-value recycling and other circular strategies, a well-functioning disassembly is essential. This article presents a literature review of studies focusing on vehicle dismantling and surrounding end-of-life treatment systems. Furthermore, topics considered as the most critical for practitioners were identified through focus groups composed of industry representatives and researchers from various Swedish organizations. By comparing findings from the literature and empirical results, it is concluded that there are differences and gaps between the areas researched and those considered as important by industry, thus calling for further research to address practical challenges in improving vehicle end-of-life management. The four areas highlighted as the most prominent are: i) plastics, ii) batteries, iii) investments and ownership structures, and iv) the workforce.
A game-theoretic approach for decision analysis in end-of-life vehicle reverse supply chain regarding government subsidy
2021, Waste Management
The presence of end-of-life vehicles (ELV) in the cities creates irreparable damage in environmental and economic terms. Thus, governments have been searching for ways to collect ELVs. An effective way to address ELVs is subsidies' policy. In this study, a supply chain including an ELV take-back center, an inspection center, and a repair center are considered. The decision variables are the purchase price of the ELVs, the sale price of the repaired vehicle, and the level of vehicle repair. In this supply chain, the government pays a subsidy to take-back centers that deliver their used vehicles. A Stackelberg game structure is considered with the government as the leader, the inspection center as the primary follower, and the collection and repair centers as the second followers. Using the game theory approach, the effects of government subsidies on equilibrium values of the decision-making variables of the centers in the ELV supply chain have been investigated in three scenarios. The scenarios comprise profit sharing, revenue sharing, and a centralized (cooperative) scenario. The results indicate that the centralized scenario has the most significant advantage compared to the two contracts of profit sharing and cost sharing. For example, the repair level of the ELVs, the amount of repaired vehicles demand, consumer surplus, and the whole supply chain's profit are at their maximum. The most significant impact of subsidy payment is related to the take-back center's profit and the ELV supply. On the other hand, the subsidy does not affect the profit of the repair center.
End-of-life passenger vehicles recycling decision system in China based on dynamic material flow analysis and life cycle assessment
2020, Waste Management
Citation Excerpt :
At present, Japan have entered the stage of high utilization of ASR (Automotive shredder residue), and the biggest problem facing China is illegal dismantling. Japan and South Korea in 2005 and 2008 have banned the illegal landfill of ELV recycling waste (Che et al., 2011). In China, due to the limitation of recycling cost recovery technology, most ASR are still treated as landfill waste.
China’s automobile industry is developing rapidly, but the recycling rate of end-of-life vehicles has been low. In 2018, the recovery rate of end-of-life passenger vehicles was less than 18% of the scrapped amount. Dynamic material flow analysis can predict the amount of end-of-life passenger cars in China in the future, and analyze the flow of materials in recycling system. Life cycle assessment can be used to quantify greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, this paper integrates these two methods into the model construction of recycling decision system. Meanwhile, sensitivity analysis of the important factors affecting the efficiency of the recovery system is carried out. Finally, the main recovery indexes of the system are predicted under three scenarios: low-speed, medium speed and high-speed development, which are set based on scrap volume, standard recovery rate, proportion of assembly into remanufacturing and carbon tax price. The research results show that in 2018, 656.9 kg/vehicle of iron, 150.2 kg/vehicle of aluminum and 7.9 kg/vehicle of copper are recovered from end-of-life passenger car in China, and the carbon emission during the recovery process is 651.1 kg of CO₂eq/vehicle, with a total emission reduction of 3816.1 kgCO₂eq/vehicle compared with the original production, and the economic benefit is about 5055.5 yuan/vehicle. The scenario prediction results show that by 2050, from the low-speed development scenario to the high-speed development scenario, the total amount of iron, aluminum and copper recovered rise from 3.96 million tons, 915 thousand tons and 46 thousand tons to 697 thousand tons, 1.61 million tons and 80 thousand tons respectively throughout the year. The carbon emission in the recovery process rise from 4.98 thousand tons to 9.32 million tons. Compared with the original production, the carbon emission reduction increases from 2.21 million tons to 38.3 million tons, the economic benefit increases from 58.9 billion yuan to 118.8 billion yuan, and the comprehensive benefit increases from 57 billion yuan to 111.6 billion yuan.
