Dynamic modelling and optimisation of the resource cycle of passenger vehicles

This paper discusses a dynamic optimisation model for the recycling of cars. Various case studies will illustrate the application of the model to the recycling of aluminium cast and wrought, steel, copper, remainder, which includes the organic fraction. The scope of the dynamic model covers the comp...

Description
Summary:This paper discusses a dynamic optimisation model for the recycling of cars. Various case studies will illustrate the application of the model to the recycling of aluminium cast and wrought, steel, copper, remainder, which includes the organic fraction. The scope of the dynamic model covers the complete path of product design and manufacturing, the use-phase, mechanical recycling and metal recovery back to the product. The optimisation model determines the recovery rate and covers in detail the processing of the end-of-life vehicle, starting from dismantling, shredding, and various separation steps, including the metal production once again.
