Title Quality-Driven Allocation Method to Promote the Circular Economy for Plastic Components in the Automotive Industry
Year 2024
Published Recycling, 9, 4
Abstract In recent years, the development of a circular economy of plastic products in the automotive industry has been pursued by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) not only due to strategic premises by the European Commission but also due to an increasing demand by customers. To achieve a circular economy, high-quality recyclates are needed. However, in the current situation, there is a discrepancy between the low-quality recyclate that is available on the market and the high-quality recyclate that is demanded by manufacturers. To increase the quality of recyclate on the market, a standardized process to reward a 'design-for-recycling' approach at the product development stage is needed. This paper proposes an allocation method that takes into account material compositions and common recycling processes and incentivizes the preservation of high-quality grades of recyclate based on grade purity.
