LCA Study of Automobile Recycling

自動車リサイクルのLCA検証

The research and development of the eco-car are advancing rapidly. On the other hand, only little information about merits to environment by the recycling of the car can be obtain. Particularly, the merits are not understood well when plastic parts are recycled. In this study, the LCA of the compact car was studied as a case study. The amount of CO₂ generated in life cycle of a car was calculated. A lot amount of CO₂ generated by the combustion of fuel in traveling was estimated as compared with stage of car production. The reduction of CO₂ by mechanical recycling of ferrous metal and aluminum parts was a lot due to weight of parts. It is difficult to decrease CO₂ by thermal recovery using plastics waste. It had been found that a little CO₂ can be decreased by reduction of manufacturing of virgin plastics by mechanical recycling of plastics.車をリサイクルした時の利点は理解されていない。小型車のLCAを行い、ライフサイクルで生じるCO₂を求めた。車の走行によるCO₂発生は多く、製造時と比較、計算した。 鉄系とアルミ部品のマテリアルリサイクルによるCO₂削減は、部品重量に起因した。マテリアルリサイクルで、バージン材の製造が削減され、CO₂が削減できることが分かった。
