Greener Cars Towards a Recyclable Car
August 15th, 2008 by admin
A substantial increase in recycling of automobiles is possible with a reduction in the impacts of disposal of shredder residue. It will take cooperation between automobile manufacturers and their materials suppliers, as well as cooperation with government, and that’s where this clean car initiative comes in. It may ultimately be necessary to achieve these levels of recycling for American car manufacturers to sell cars in Europe. That may be the bottom line here. Life cycle assessment can be used as a tool for redesigning the automobile, but it’s clear the biggest environmental impacts come from the use of the automobile and not necessarily from the manufacturing or disposal. The automobile industry places safety at the top of its priority list but the growth of product liability litigation has made companies reluctant to introduce radically new concepts. New operating technologies will seldom be introduced until there is a safety record which insurance companies can use.
