  • strategies for meeting eu end of Life Vehicle reuse recovery targets
    Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Paulo Ferrao, Pedro Nazareth, Jose Amaral
    Abstract:

    Summary Disposal of end-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) is a relatively new focus of the European policy community. Technical requirements for car design and minimum reuse and recovery rates for end-of-Life Vehicles are the subject of a recent European Union directive on ELVs. This directive is expected to induce changes in the infrastructure required for ELV processing, and presents a substantial challenge to maintaining such an infrastructure as economically viable. This paper assesses current and emerging ELV recycling technologies, in order to provide guidelines for the development of future ELV recycling strategies. Emphasis is given to technologies dedicated to automobile shredder residue (ASR) recovery, as an alternative/complement to more labor-intensive dismantling activities. The ultimate goal is to develop a vision of the type of ASR processing technology that could emerge in the future. The analysis is based on a model developed to simulate ELV processing infrastructures, and shredding data are taken from full-scale experiments. The results obtained show that ASR mechanical separation and recycling technologies may enable more extensive recycling and contribute to achieving European Union recycling targets, and can thus be considered as far more promising than technologies based on energy recovery.

  • design for recycling in the automobile industry new approaches and new tools
    Journal of Engineering Design, 2006
    Co-Authors: Paulo Ferrao, Jose Amaral
    Abstract:

    This paper presents novel design for recycling (DfR) strategies that were incorporated in a new software tool, combining the use of emerging technologies dedicated to automobile shredder residue recycling, together with design for dismantling strategies. Extended producer responsibility enforces manufacturers to maintain product responsibility along its Life cycle. As a consequence, manufacturers are under pressure to dispose of products in an environmentally responsible manner. The auto industry has been particularly involved in these processes and, in particular, European Union directives stipulate minimum reuse and recovery rates for end-of-Life Vehicles. This framework provides a motivation for the increasing use of dedicated design for recycling tools and practices. The current end-of-Life Vehicle processing is embodied by two industries: dismantling and shredding. If until recently dismantling was a key strategy in DfR, the auto industry has been investing in the development of automated technologie...

  • a cost and benefit analysis of future end of Life Vehicle glazing recycling in france a systematic approach
    Resources Conservation and Recycling, 2013
    Co-Authors: Romain Farel, Bernard Yannou, Asma Ghaffari, Yann Leroy
    Abstract:

    As with other European countries, the French automotive industry needs to improve the end-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) recycling rate in order to reach the minimum reuse and recovery rate required by EU directives. This paper proposes a model to investigate the potential cost and benefit of ELV glazing recycling for all value-chain stakeholders, and for the network as a whole. Key parameters of future changes, namely glass cullet price, landfill cost, network coverage and transportation costs are identified at the level of field research. A system dynamics approach is then used to simulate the net economic balance of the recycling network under different future scenarios. The simulation reveals an increase in the income and considerable cost savings as a result of the recycling network in some of future scenarios.

  • Finding best practices for automotive glazing recycling: a network optimization model
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2013
    Co-Authors: Romain Farel, Bernard Yannou, Gwenola Bertoluci
    Abstract:

    In a recycling scheme such as the recycling of End of Life Vehicle (ELV) materials, the different takeholders are expected to configure the operation process and product distribution to maximize their own profits. In many cases, however, these individual optimizations do not correspond to the maximal profit for the whole chain. In addition, financial autonomy must be carefully studied and controlled so as to ensure an conomically viable recycling chain. This paper proposes a cost-benefit parameterized model for the ELV glazing recycling scheme, both for network configuration and material flow sizing. The model is mapped using real ground data from French industrial partners, and a linear programming technique is used to optimize the network for maximum profit. The sensitivity of this economic performance in different situations is analyzed by varying key variables of the model. Results show that, while the current glazing recycling situation is not economically viable, a national glazing recycling network could actually become beneficial for all stakeholders under certain conditions that are likely to appear in the near future. Several scenarios for the recycling network are simulated to determine the best practices for each of the network scenarios.
