Wher could I find any a detailed rating chart about recycling various automotive plastics? Thanks

Where could I find some researches, books, articles or resources about Design For Recycling and Design For Dismantling applied for automotive? Has anyone written about it? Thanks

Where could I find information about the past, present and future material composition of different kinds of cars (sport cars, station wagons, ecc..)?

Than you very much, I supposed it but I would be sure about...

What's the meaninig of "positive" or "negative" value of a End of Life Vehicle? Maybe that the value of the scrap obtained from an ELV could be higher or lower than its dismantling and recycling costs?

I'm sorry and ashamed too :^): the limits regarding the percentage of Lead in aluminium alloys are up to 2% and 1%, not 0,2% and 0,1%.....this thread has no more sense.

This EU directive also bans Lead in machinable steels if over 0.35%, Copper alloys if over 4% and it is banning in machinable Aluminium alloys first if over 0.2% (7/1/2005) and later if over 0.1% (7/1/2008); No more than 0.5% of Lead is beeing tolerated in copper-based brake shoes: are all these...

Hi! The new European ELV vehicoles directive (2000/53/EU) introduces restricions about the content of Lead, Cadmium, Mercury and Cr+6 and about recycling % of new vehicles: to meet its requirements, what are the most critical aspects about automotive materials choice and design?
