Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cars are one of the most recycled commercial products. Currently, approximately 75% of the total vehicle weight is recycled. The EU directives on End-of-life vehicles try to push the recycling process further: it fixed the percentage of recyclability (85%) and recoverability (95%) automotive companies have to reach for their new vehicles in 2015. Complying with these directives will imply a cost, which will be borne by one or several of the stakeholders of the automotive life cycle. This cost will not only depend on the type of the vehicle but also on where the vehicle will be recycled and which recycling processes will be used. The scope of this thesis is to study the recycling cost sensitivity to regional practices and to vehicle's type. A technical cost model has been developed to calculate the cost of applying the regulation. Based on the list of parts of a particular vehicle, this tool allows to determine which parts have to be removed to reach the recycling target and the cost associated with this removal. The model was run for a sample group of vehicles and for different regional inputs. The goal is to pinpoint the major recycling cost drivers and discuss how the total cost can be reduced. Finally, this work analyses the magnitude of exposure of a vehicle manufacturer in Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent and anticipated trends in the material composition of domestic and imported automobiles and the increasing cost of landfilling the non-recyclable portion of automobiles (automobile shredder residue or ASR) pose questions about the future of automobile recycling. This report documents the findings of a study sponsored by the US Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Analysis to examine the impacts of these and other relevant trends on the life-cycle energy consumption of automobiles and on the economic viability of the domestic automobile recycling industry. More specifically, the study (1) reviewed the status of the automobile recycling industry in the United States, including the current technologies used to process scrapped automobiles and the challenges facing the automobile recycling industry; (2) examined the current status and future trends of automobile recycling in Europe and Japan, with the objectives of identifying ''lessons learned'' and pinpointing differences between those areas and the United States; (3) developed estimates of the energy system impacts of the recycling status quo and projections of the probable energy impacts of alternative technical and institutional approaches to recycling; and (4) identified the key policy questions that will determine the future economic viability of automobile shredder facilities in the United States.
Download or read book Sustainable Product Design and Development written by Anoop Desai and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines the process of sustainable product design and development. It presents design guidelines that help prolong the life of a product and minimize its environmental impact. These guidelines specifically enable product design for end-of-life (EoL) objectives such as reuse, recycling and remanufacturing. Sustainable Product Design and Development also presents mathematical models that will help the designer determine the cost of designing sustainable products. This cost can be computed early during the design stage of a product. Sustainable Product Design and Development presents different ways and means by which a product can address all three pillars of sustainability—environmental conservation, social sustainability, and economic sustainability. Various case studies are incorporated in different chapters. Case studies on designing products for assembly, disassembly and remanufacturing have been presented in their respective chapters. The book also provides an overview of global environmental legislation to help the reader grasp the importance of waste management and sustainable product design. This book is aimed at professionals, engineering students, environmental scientists, and those in the business environment.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 4.5 billion tons of non-hazardous wastes are generated in the United States each year. Out of these wastes over 200 million tons of post consumer waste is generated. The disposal of post consumer waste is the responsibility of municipality and society. Four waste materials, glass, plastic, rubber tires and paper and paperboard, were selected for detailed study. A questionnaire survey was conducted for obtaining input from all state departments of transportation (DOTs) and recyclers and solid waste management facilities in the state of Ohio. Responses received from state DOTs stated that they use various recycled materials in highway construction but do not conduct cost-effectiveness analysis of recycled waste materials. The cost of disposal of post consumer waste is increasing, which requires an alternate use for these waste materials. One possible use of these post consumer waste materials is in highway construction. An economic analysis is needed for their cost-effectiveness determination before using these materials in highway construction. Though these recycled waste materials are expensive compared to virgin material, consideration of the savings in terms of societal cost makes these materials become cost-effective and attractive to use in highway construction. Concepts of marginal costs and marginal benefits are used in developing the cost-effective analysis of recycled materials. The recycled waste material will be competitive with the new material if costs such as disamenity costs of disposal and landfill costs are added to the material costs. Benefits from recycling are numerous, such as the revenue generated from recycling and sale of material, avoidance of disposal costs, and improvement in environmental quality. Revenue from sale of each material is treated as a reduction in costs. Combining all costs together provides a platform to develop a marginal benefit function for recycling. A computer program was developed using Microsoft Access (trademark) to provide a tool in making an economic decision.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Automotive Recycling Industry currently faces the greatest challenges in terms of the efficient reuse and recycling of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs). While the automotive industry has integrated almost every breakthrough from multi-disciplinary fields of sciences and engineering, the technology and practices surrounding the proper disposal and recycling of ELVs remains a lagging indicator to automotive technology. However, despite the greater focus of business entities and researchers on the manufacturing of new vehicles, the responsibility surrounding the recycling and disposal of ELVs is equally important. The improper or ineffective strategies in the disposal of waste materials from ELVs can lead to grave environmental consequences. Furthermore, aside from their adverse effects on the environment, problems associated with improper waste disposal of ELV materials may also lead to various social and economic problems. One of the most notable barriers to effective and proper ELV processing is the high economic cost associated with their recycling and disposal. From the consumer's point of view, proper and effective disposal would require additional expenditure which could be otherwise added to the funds needed to purchase and acquire a new car. On the other hand, from a business perspective, automotive recycling companies seek to recycle and reuse ELVs while at the same time expect to profit from such a venture. This study aims to use the Integrated Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Optimization Approach for Automotive De-manufacturing Systems in order to arrive at a most efficient and effective method which can be adopted in order to streamline the ELV recycling and waste disposal process. It aims to investigate and analyze the insights and findings derived from existing research in relation to the current methods conventionally used in the disposal and recycling of ELVs. The factors are then aggregated and integrated in order to arrive at formulas and cost metrics which are needed for evaluating the efficacy of the entire ELV recycling network. Furthermore, this study would also investigate the problems currently faced by the Automotive Recycling Industry in general, and how these problems can be related to the objectives of the study. It is the aim of this study to arrange an effective method which policy-makers and business entities can use in order to find the optimum location for a processing facility which will help improve regional or even global ELV recycling processes as well as keep the overall cost associated with such processes at a minimum. The network model that was formulated in this study includes the various factors that are considered important in ELV de-manufacturing. The said optimized model was applied to resolve the problems faced by the automotive after market industry in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which resulted to reduced cost and greater efficiency.
