Abstract
In Europe, the final recycling rate of ELV(End of Life Vehicle) has been regulated by 95%(by 2015). To meet this satisfaction, countries such as Germany, Japan and Sweden are introducing various ways of system in dealing ELV. This study mainly focuses on providing the comparable information between the improvement of system processed by unit process and the environment-friendly system, which will be adopted later in ELV. It classifies a treatment system into fluid draining, disassembly, shredding & sorting and processes by including recycling process of each unit output into the system boundary. Also, it divides treatment scenario which is satisfied the recycling rate regulated by ELV directive into two parts: One is at the stage of disassembly and the other is at that of shredding & sorting so that they can assess the environmental effect on ELV by applying the improved scenario respectively. In conclusion, treatment system of ELV is an environmental profit derived from recycling outputs in unit process(-6.04E+01 Eco-indicator) and the gain from the old metal has a large portion of profit by 77%. For improvement in recycling and sanitary landfill, scenario 2 is inferior to scenario 1, in that it produces additional inputs/outputs. However, further examination on the environmental effect about landfill should be taken into account more clearly.
