“…In recent years, not many papers have been published analysing waste management through LMDI analysis. The results in this article (Table 2 and Figure 3) differ from two papers published in 2016 analysing the waste management of municipal and production waste in the periods 2010–14 and 2004–12, respectively, as they found that intensity and activity effects on the changes in the amounts of managed waste are mostly not substantial (Korica et al, 2016a, 2016b). The main difference is that LMDI models in those papers analyse each waste management option separately in individual models, while the model in this article analyses recycling, recovery, disposal, and reuse simultaneously as one model.…”

In 2018, a total of 6,083,000 end-of-life vehicles (EVLs) with a total weight of 6,732,000 tonnes (including waste parts) were generated in the European Union. These vehicles are a subject of particular attention because of their bulky mass, the hazardous components they contain, and the valuable materials present. This article analyses the quantities of ELVs and parts of ELVs that have been recycled, energy recovered, disposed, and reused to assess the impact of the changes in these management options on the total quantities managed. The analysis covered the statistical data on EVLs in 31 European countries for the period 2006–2018, using a new extended version of the logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) analysis model, which allows analysts to compare and analyse different waste management options simultaneously. The results show that the changes in the waste intensities and household final consumption expenditure were the greatest drivers of changes in the total quantities managed, while changes in the quantities recycled, energy recovered, disposed of, and reused had the least impact. All countries met or were close to meeting the targets during the period analysed. Changes in the total quantities of waste managed depended on the economic activity, which influenced the quantities of ELVs generated and their subsequent management.
