Abstract
Currently, the recycling of automobiles can be considered to be a success story. However, it is hoped by the automakers that the current automotive recycling infrastructure can adapt to include more disassembly of plastics for recycling. The success of this option depends on the economics involved. Therefore, a method for evaluating the economics of disassembly for recycling is utilized to see how changes in recycling prices, disassembly costs, or design might affect the practices of dismantlers.
