In recent years, many industrial countries face the consequences
of a wide flow of consumer goods and limited product life spans, resulting in
a continuous increase in the quantity of used manufactured goods. This occurrence
certainly increases the problem of disposal of used products. In this study,
of particular interest is the disposal of solid waste from used vehicles. With
the facilities of landfill sites rapidly declining due to government legislations,
problems of solid waste disposal would continue persist. At present, environmental
concerns and government legislations in many developed and developing countries
are increasingly guided by the inventor principle, which capitalizes that inventors,
designers, or whosoever inflict damage on the environment should likewise remove
such damage. This, in turn, has compelled manufacturers to undertake recycling
efforts at the end-of-life stage of their products. This entire exercise has
resulted in huge implications on the product end-users, producers and the end-product
recyclers. Designing for the environment is a necessary concern throughout the
life cycle of a product. This means, that the recyclability of a product or
its parts should be deliberated on from the on-set, namely from the design,
manufacture, use or service, until the end-of-life stage. Management of solid
wastes from vehicles considers product recycling by reuse, remanufacturing and
reassembling, which is collectively known as End-of-Life-Vehicle (ELV) consequently,
this study explores the efforts thus far in published literatures, to implement
ELV around the world. |
