Research Summary
Vehicle recycling is the process of dismantling and recovering valuable materials from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) for reuse, recycling, or disposal in an environmentally responsible manner. When vehicles reach the end of their useful life, they are taken to recycling facilities where they undergo a series of steps to recover various components and materials. The recycling process typically begins with draining fluids such as oil, coolant, and fuel, which are then collected and disposed of properly. Next, vehicles are dismantled, and reusable parts such as engines, transmissions, tires, and electronic components are removed for resale or reuse. The remaining vehicle shell is then crushed or shredded to recover metals like steel, aluminum, and copper, which are sent to smelters for recycling into new products. Additionally, other materials such as plastics, glass, and rubber are also recovered and recycled or repurposed. Vehicle recycling helps conserve natural resources, reduce landfill waste, and minimize the environmental impact of automotive manufacturing by promoting the reuse and recycling of materials from end-of-life vehicles.
