The European directive on end-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling will demand substantially more effort in the recycling of old vehicles than is currently the case. The primary goal is to investigate how to achieve the recycling quota of 85% while achieving an optimized financial result. In order to achieve this goal different recycling approaches or scenarios could be applied: a pure shredder solution; a full dismantling solution; or a mix of both solutions: the goal being a reasonable balance between dismantling and shredding. A number or things were investigated, including: current recycling technologies, the average material composition of vehicles, prices for secondary / recovered material, as well as the available dismantling technologies. One result is that it is worthwhile to dismantle some parts before sending the ELV to the shredder. It must be stressed that the dismantling process is by far the biggest cost carrier of the recycling process. Increase cost here would need to be off set by even higher material revenue yields. By employing some innovative technologies, without changing the vehicle design, the potential for improving the dismantling process produces a better result.
