“…Boon et al (2001) present a similar analysis for aluminum-intensive vehicles. Bandivadekar et al (2004) investigate the material flows and economic exchanges within the automotive recycling infrastructure. Williams et al (2007) analyze the sensitivity of a recycler's profit to reprocessing and shipment decisions taken under different ferrous and nonferrous metal prices and different EOL vehicle compositions.…”

“…As reported by Bandivadekar (2002), for the last several decades dismantler and shredder profits have been $15-$20 and $5-$10 per vehicle, respectively. Figure 4 shows the model-predicted dismantler and shredder profits for this time period.…”

“…At each stage, a certain fraction of the automobiles retire, and those remaining enter into the next age group. The retirement fractions are based on values extracted from the literature and are reported by Bandivadekar (2002). The retiring vehicles are further classified as "new ELVs" or "old ELVs."…”
A simulation model for material flows and economic exchanges within the U.S. automotive material life cycle chain is presented. The model is employed to examine the effect of future changes in vehicle material composition on the automotive recycling infrastructure. The model results indicate that as vehicle material composition changes, higher dismantling/ recovery rates are needed to ensure economic viability of the recycling infrastructure. Furthermore, even in the case of significantly higher rates of dismantling and plastics recovery, the amount of shredder residue per vehicle will continue to rise.
“…To explain the impact of changes in the material composition of the vehicle on the sustainability of the economy and the environment within the automotive recycling infrastructure, Bandivadekar et al [15] developed a simulation model for recovery and recycling of cars. This model describes the flow of materials and economic exchange of any business issue within the automotive recycling infrastructure.…”
