The present end of life recycling process ELV vehicles leaves 25 of the vehicle weight to landfill This is mainly made of a nonmetallic material such as plastic, rubber and glass.
Does CARE Consortium for Automotive Recycling is a collaborative project, vehicle manufacturers and vehicle dismantlers, to reduce the amount of vehicle weight to landfill disposal of ELVs They developed routes potential recycling for several non-metallic materials which, when adopted, could reduce the amount of residual material in the discharge 18, as of today in 2015, the objective is to reduce the amount of weight of vehicle discharge 5.
Membership CARE currently has ten vehicle manufacturers and an increasing number of decommissioning and recycling Carmakers are.
Collectively, manufacturers representing 75 car sales in Britain vehicle dismantling operations are distributed nationwide management and coordination of CARE's activities is carried out by a team within the Rover Group.
Wreckers in the CARE group have direct access to information about products from manufacturers concerned to help, for example, in the identification and separation of various types of plastic on a specific car model The project includes all brands and car guys now taken the road in Britain is estimated that in the first year, the demolition involved in the CARE group processed some 20,000 cars.
Another important activity for CARE manufacturers is to create a more stable market for recycled materials All participants automakers are engaged in a specification of political recycled materials wherever they meet the functional and quality criteria for current and future models this will contribute to increased demand for this material, improving the economy of any process of recycling.
Mill are high capacity hammer mills that will break the carcass parts of fist size from the more ferrous metals processing and non-ferrous metals are extracted for recycling and the residue is typically landfilled This residue consists of rubber , plastic, glass, dirt, and other non-metallic materials.
It is believed that around March 1 million vehicles come to the end of their lives each year in the UK This figure must be estimated because annual tax and the possible deregulation of old vehicles are not satisfactorily controlled, and data are not available in all demolition is estimated that more than 23 million cars work in the UK There are approximately 3000-4000 breakers operating in the UK that feed 30-40 chippers, sometimes through d a shear operator will reduce the vehicle to improve the transportation costs.
The current recycling rate of around 75 is probably the highest of any complex consumer product remains, however, environmental concerns are now treated Vehicles fluids can pollute land and water courses if they are allowed to remain in the vehicle during the process of elimination of non-metallic materials, which currently go to landfill could be recycled and reduce the load on virgin resources grinding residue significant calorific value use fluff as fuel could reduce the demand for finite fossil fuels.
A typical average size car contains about 5 50 kg by weight of rubber, from the majority of rubber tires using existing figures represents 20 by weight of the residue, the material that goes to discharge.
Of the 30-35 million scrap tires from each year, it is estimated by industry Government Working Group 25 are retreaded, 20 incinerated with energy recovery, 10 pellets recycled or breaded 5 reused farms mudguard etc. 40 landfilled increasingly difficult, illegally dumped or piled.
The European Commission now considers used tires as a priority waste streams A working group is drafting legislation to reduce their environmental impact severe targets are likely to be.
recycling strategy to reduce, reuse, recycle, recover seems likely this is to encourage the reduction of waste, reuse as origin, recycling and resource recovery or energy materials should only then landfilling become an option.
Tire manufacturers already investigating tire models that are lighter tires and more resistant to wear and integrate the content of recycled rubber.
There are a number of options to increase the reuse, recycling and recovery.
An envelope retreading tire in good condition at the time of disposal, can have a new tread UK added retreading envelopes are being imported due to a shortage of acceptable envelopes available in the UK .
Crumbling tires are shredded and granulated rubber for use in other products, sports surfaces, paints, floor coverings, etc.
Pyrolysis airless tire heating for gas, oil and carbon can be reprocessed.
Incineration Tires are burned to extract their energy value, e g Elm energy.
The cement industry The tires can be used as fuel in cement manufacturing.
All these methods work in the evolution of market forces and legislation They are, however, moving constantly to reduce the amount of waste tires that go to landfill.
About 10 100 kg of weight of a vehicle is made of plastic material which has the potential for recycling and therefore revenue generation to the dismantler.
However, to achieve the maximum value for that material, a significant number of problems need to be overcome The number of different plastics found in the construction of a typical vehicle are considerable, each being specified to meet stringent performance requirements There are about 25 types of plastics, each of which may have a number of charging rate changes, additives and colorants.
The majority of these plastics can not be mixed for recovery - so a key question is adequate segregation.
In addition, much of the recoverable items are contaminated with metal clips, screws, labels, foam etc which all have to be removed before treatment.
The CARE team has successfully worked with the demolition and reprocessor s equipment in exploring a number of options to get the value added by the increased quality Early results suggested that work should be targeted for recovery specific materials based on their abundance in the vehicle, the potential market demand for the material and their ability to be separated with a degree of confidence.
Polyester - The material from which the safety belts are made.
ABS - a hard plastic generally used for interior trim components such as steering column covers and center consoles.
A softer plastic polypropylene found in the construction of most plastic bumpers, battery cases, engine components and interior trim moldings.
The value of these materials wrecker in a clean state can be sorted in the order of 100-250 per tonne However, one ton of plastic components takes a large amount of space equivalent to approximately 20 cubic meters consisting of 2000 components, the bumper exclusion lies the second major problem - the cost of transport and use of energy transporting bulky objects means a lot of fresh air is transported from the point where the dismantler plastic can be treated.
The total amount of shredder residue SR is estimated at 750,000 to 800 000 tonnes per year, about 350 000-400 000 tonnes of which are Automotive shredder residue.
The heat treatment of this residue can produce high energy levels and above, dramatically reduce the volume of material to landfill To assess the feasibility of thermal treatment of shredder residue, the group analyzes the current situation in terms of .
A detailed analysis of the composition and calorific value of the SR.
There are three main types of thermal treatment of shredder residue.
Research to date suggests the most possible routes for combustion.
One option less as combustion in a blast furnace is also studied.
shredder residue contains a variety of products supply include mainly waste VLE, iron and white goods light e g refrigerators and cookers.
Detailed analyzes that determine parameters over 140 different samples Fiom fluff different milling methods, geographical locations and different times of the year, were carried out by the group analyzes will continue to assess variations the composition and calorific value of SR the ability to incineration can then be determined the results of these analyzes indicate that variations in composition, calorific value and pollutant levels are minimal.
CARE aims to push the boundaries of effective recycling of material costs and energy recovery in the recycling of ELVs, and to ensure the development of environmental protection standards.
After this stage, it is expected that the project will continue to pilot and prove future developments in the elimination of ELVs and to disseminate the results it is not intended that CARE will become an independent drainage system in the medium term the project will develop to include the following activities.
Establish an increased number of demolition operation care process.
Reinjecting automakers to practical conclusions to enable the future improvement of new vehicle models to enable better recycling.
Establish the presentation of the best information and content to build the vehicle to help the process of elimination.
Develop ways of separating and recycling additional non-metallic materials.
Disseminate information on techniques and proven processes to enable their widespread use throughout the industry.
Ensure that the disposal process is conducted with the highest environmental standards.
