Dismantling methods and protocols in a Circular Economy Framework - Composite recovery in the automotive industry CWA 17807:2021

Scope

This document overviews, optimizes and validates the strategies and technologies for collection and material recovery (plastics, foam, glass, fibres from vehicle parts) for (re-) manufacturing, in addition to parts that are already being recycled.
Current recycling systems for ELV’s are designed to valorize the metallic content. But nowadays, there is an ongoing surge to use non-metallic parts, low value, and complex materials in the vehicle (and future ELV) to reduce their carbon footprint.
