“…The automotive industry is one of the leading industry in remanufacturing. Sawyer-Beaulieu, Stagner, and Tam (2014) reported that an estimated 13 million vehicles are permanently retired and recycled in Canada and the United States annually in 2009. They presented an overview and conceptual analysis of vehicle EOL issues to develop strategies and implement actions that can decrease the lifecycle impact of automobiles.…”

The design of reverse logistics and remanufacturing processes and the recovery of end-of-life products have been well-studied in the literature. Quality, reliability, maintenance and warranty for recovered products and the remanufacturing activities that extend their life are integral issues in reverse logistics. This paper reviews recent and relevant literature on these issues in closed-loop supply chains, with a focus on remanufactured or second-hand products. The published literature is first classified into domain areas of research and practice. The wide array of mathematical tools and techniques used in the literature are then identified and mapped. Finally, the findings are summarised and the main research gaps are highlighted.

“…Regulation of ELVs is present in G7 countries but differs significantly between North America and Europe. In the United States and Canada, regulation focuses on minimizing environmental impacts of recycling processes (Sawyer-Beaulieu et al, 2014). In the United States, for example, the federal Clean Air Act regulates air emissions resulting from the processing of ELVs.…”

Material efficiency (ME), making products with less material or substituting with less carbon‐intensive material without a loss of functionality, can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and complement other strategies to mitigate climate change. Seven ME strategies for cars and homes in the G7 countries were recently modeled in a study by the International Resource Panel. Modeling indicates that ME strategies focusing on construction and use of homes could lower the overall cumulative emissions in the G7 between 2016 and 2060 by 8.5 Gt CO2e (20%), while ME strategies for the production and use of cars could reduce up to 12 Gt (24%). For both homes and cars, the strategy of more intensive use—where fewer or smaller products are required to provide the same basic service—showed the greatest potential. A review of existing ME policies reveals that attention to ME in climate policy has been limited. Policy toward ME has historically focused on waste management rather than GHG reduction. Ex post evaluation of policies that do exist, especially for recycling and related waste strategies, is infrequent. Framing efficient use of materials as a measure primarily intended for climate mitigation is relatively recent and uncommon. Production‐related policy opportunities have been neglected because using ME to reduce GHGs is novel in some sectors and because increased ME faces economic and social barriers. Rebound effects where reduction of the cost of housing or transportation can increase material consumption offsetting potential gains, a problem for all efficiency‐based approaches, is understudied and not currently addressed through policy.This article is categorized under: The Carbon Economy and Climate Mitigation > Policies, Instruments, Lifestyles, Behavior The Carbon Economy and Climate Mitigation > Decarbonizing Energy and/or Reducing Demand

Waste management is gaining very high importance in recent years. As automotive is one of the most critical sectors worldwide, which is rapidly increasing, the management of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) gains importance day by day. Due to legislation and new regulations, actors like users, producers, and treatment facilities are being conferred new responsibilities in the ELV management process. Besides, the ELV management is of vital importance for environment conservation, circular economy and sustainable development. All of these reasons are making the ELV management such a crucial issue to study. Today, the ELV management is a well-positioned and emergent research area. However, the available review papers are focused only on a small area of the ELV management, such as reverse logistics, recovery infrastructure, disassemblability, etc. Besides, a review of state-of-the-art mathematical models for the ELV management is still missing. This paper aims to provide an extensive content analysis overview of studies on the ELV management. A total of 232 studies published in the period 2000-2019 are collected, categorized, reviewed and analyzed. A critical review of the published literature is provided. Gaps in the literature are identified to clarify and suggest future research directions. This review can provide a source of references, valuable insights, and opportunities for researchers interested in the ELV management and inspire their additional attention.Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
