Research Summary

End-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling is the process of dismantling and recycling vehicles that have reached the end of their usable life. ELV recycling involves the recovery of valuable materials and components from vehicles before they are disposed of, with the aim of minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency. The process typically begins with depollution, where hazardous fluids such as oil, coolant, and gasoline are drained and disposed of safely. Next, the vehicle is dismantled, and reusable parts such as engines, transmissions, and electronics are removed for resale or reuse. The remaining vehicle shell is then shredded, and the materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, glass, and rubber, are separated and sorted for recycling. ELV recycling not only helps reduce the environmental impact of end-of-life vehicles but also conserves resources by recovering valuable materials for reuse in manufacturing processes. It also plays a significant role in reducing landfill waste and minimizing the carbon footprint associated with vehicle disposal. Additionally, ELV recycling is subject to regulations and directives aimed at promoting environmentally responsible practices and ensuring the safe handling and disposal of hazardous materials.
