Can plastics from end-of-life vehicles be managed in a sustainable way?

Plastic from end-of-life vehicles (ELVP) are currently managed in European Union without any attention to polymer recovery. The study analyses novel treatments of sorting, dissolution/precipitation, extrusion, catalytic pyrolysis, and plastic upgrading, which could contribute to define a sustainable ELVP management scheme. The environmental performances of each of these treatments have been quantified by an attributional Life Cycle Assessment,...
