End of Life Vehicle
The primary idea behind reusing is to conserve assets, convert waste to items that are useful for the society. To accomplish this, ELVs must be recycled in proper way but the expanding nature of automobile usage in the society has made difficulties in recycling and reusing vehicles. A large number of nations in the European Union had already actualized a diverse ELV treatment approaches by making respective governmental policies for prompting ELV recycling and reusing. Malaysia presented its national automobile policy in 2006. In an investigation led by Mamat Tnar et al., 2016, and Nurhasyimah Mohamad-Ali et al., 2019, it was found that components like administration, obligation of partners, need of more awareness, and managing the cost, should be considered for setting up a proper ELV recovery framework in Malaysia. In a comparative report made by Vi Kie Sooa et al., 2017 for Australia and Belgium, it was stated that the ELV directives in Belgium are more efficient due to usage of cutting edge reusing technologies for practical ELV management framework.
ELV management helps in identifying the vehicles that are approaching the final phase of effective lifecycle. Beyond this point the vehicle would become inefficient in handling air pollution and there by creates severe environmental hazards like climate change. ELV management helps to recover usable parts from the vehicle during its dismantling and aids in effective resource management. So we can make best out of the elv’s and reduce its impact upon the environment before they end up in any landfill. Many researches are being done to forecast the amount of ELV in coming decades one such is the use of grey system theory (Seval, E et al., 2016) to create a framework that can forecast the amount of ELVs that may be produced in the upcoming decades. Another method uses neural networks (Hao, Hao et al., 2018) to forecast the amount of ELV creation that could aid in making plans for effective management of ELVs. In an ELV network, an essential need is to locate the ideal number of recycling facilities. Yu Lin et al., 2016, formulated a model to solve the facility distribution issue of ELV recuperation network. An artificial honey bee colony optimization method was utilized to discover ideal expense for choosing ideal areas of ELV recuperation points. Similarly, Ali et al., 2019, built up a facility allocation model based on mandates of Turkey which helped in analyzing the benefits of ELV reusing. In a research (Phuc, P.N.K. et al., 2016), it was discovered that new innovations like anti-lock braking mechanism, GPS, electronic fuel infusion had reduced the lifecycle of automobiles to 10 years in Japan. This puts a great deal of need for reusing to decrease the different ecological effects. Numerous R&D works are being done, to improve the productivity in the automotive business. Fernando Enzo Kenta Sato et al, 2019, explains how the materials got from rejected vehicles can be reused. Paolo Rosa et al., 2018 in their examination recommended that ELV can lead to be the most significant waste materials in the future.
