END-OF-LIFE VEHICLE DISPOSAL AND IT’S INFLUENCE TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Journal Title: Mobility and Vehicle Mechanics - Year 2018, Vol 44, Issue 3
Abstract
Motor vehicle industry is nowadays exposed to numerous serious challenges, mostly related to its influence to environment. Motor vehicles during their life cycles affect the environment in several aspects: through consumption of energy and other resources, through production of waste in design process and usage, and through disposal at the end of their life cycle. First two aspects are in consideration for many years and there is noticeable improvement in reducing the effects, but vehicle disposal at the end of life cycle is relatively new area of research. This paper presents main items of international legislative related to end-of-life vehicle recycling process, as well as responsibilities of all participants in this process, from producers to dismantlers and landfills. Also, current legislation in Serbia is presented, with suggestions and ways for future improvement. At the end, concrete data of recyclability and reusability rates for some vehicle models are given, approving the positive effects of applied legislation on vehicle influence to the environment.
