Abstract
In order to examine appropriately alternative recycling strategies of end-of-life vehicles (ELV) in Japan, we presented a fully-fledged ELV recycling-related material flow of parts and waste using the waste input-output analysis (WIO) developed by Nakamura et al. [5, 6]. Furthermore, we evaluated environmental and economical impacts of alternative strategies that generate no automobile shredder residue (ASR), such as intensive disassembling and reusing parts and energy recovery of ASR. As a result of the evaluation, reuse of used parts and intensive disassembling were superior to energy recovery system of ASR in terms of environment, however, the reverse result was obtained in terms of economy.
