Automotive components in the analysis of end-of-life recycling programs, based on the study of automobile recycling techniques and strategies; the establishment of the Waste Recycling automotive components model, a vehicle designed for Recycling and Design for Disassembly The criteria for the design. At the same time, the disassembly of the establishment of a design-oriented model of car design to explore the design for the disassembly of the key recovery technology, pointed out that the recycling-oriented design and design for disassembly is to save resources, reduce costs and realize the design of automotive products and green automotive industry to create an effective model of sustainable development one of the means.

Survey Results

This paper presents rationality behind the establishment of an ELVs management system in Malaysia, in relation with the development of automotive industry in this country. Upon reviews on latest publications, there are currently three conditions of ELVs treated in Malaysia which are used on road, left abandoned and dumped at landfill. These improper treatment and management of ELVs certainly will give negative effects to the country, which are explained in environment, economic and social aspects. Subsequently, a survey will be conducted to obtain estimated percentage of each ELV condition, and the survey results will be the basis towards establishing an ELVs management system in Malaysia.

Lifecycle Management

This article highlights that companies find that “product lifecycle management” can mean steering through the regulatory tangle of their business. The automotive industry is particularly affected by changing legislation, because many automakers are now working to ensure that their vehicles comply with the End-of-Life Vehicle Directive passed by the European Union in 2000. The End-of-Life Vehicle Directive is only one of the rules and regulations in Europe. The EU’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive set environmental targets for the amount of hazardous materials that can be contained in electrical and electronic equipment. Sometimes an engineer can’t simply call up a CAD file for a part, because the company gets that part from a supplier and incorporates it into the final product. In these cases, it's vital to ensure that those parts meet vital standards. Ensuring that engineering products meet the plethora of existing codes and laws is a perplexing and complex task that is only going to get harder.

The Impact

In a global market characterized by the trend of saving non-renewable resources, recycling has become one of the key factors that alleviates the rarity of resources and preserves existing ones. One of the largest industries that consumes natural resources is the automotive industry. This includes not only resource consumption but also the environmental effects of each new unit produced in this industry. As a result, recycling end-of-life vehicles has become an increasingly obvious and widespread concern. This paper proposes a preliminary analysis of the dismantling/recycling activities in Romania compared to other economies (e.g., USA). It aims to determine the impact that dismantling end-of-life vehicles has, according to the legislation in the field, on the economy and the environment. In order to obtain a complete picture, it is obvious that further research is needed.

This paper discusses the issue of plastic recycling in the European automotive industry, specifically the plastic waste generated through end-of-life vehicles (ELV). It also explores the existing relationship between engineering materials selection, and what are considered to be the critical issues currently present in the automotive recycling field. Research found that although a new set of recycling technologies has been developed, an increase in the protection of the environment might end in reduced margins for the automobile manufacturers, in addition to a rise in the costs of recycling.
