Abstract
This paper proposes a new scenario toward Loop-Closing Society by analyzing the ELY (: End-of-Life Vehicle) recycling system as a case study. Generally, two points are controversial in ELV recycling; the improvement in the recycling rate of ASR, and the quality deterioration of Fe-Scraps such as Automobile-press or Automobile-shredder. Above all, Cu contained in electronic and electrical systems of vehicles causes deterioration in quality of steel products. In this research, a new method to ELV recycling by the cooperation with dismantlers and shredding operators for the effective and efficient reduction of the volume of ASR and Cu contained in Fe-Scraps is proposed with cost-benefit analysis.
