title = "Towards a circular economy for end-of-life vehicles: A comparative study UK - Japan",
abstract = "As the European Directive on end-of-life vehicle (ELV) treatment has heavily influenced policies in many countries, car manufacturers need to reconsider the early phases of the product design to enable better ELV treatment. This paper proposes policy, technical and business recommendations to improve the reuse, recycling and recovery (RRR) rate of ELVs. A comparative analysis between the United Kingdom and Japan is undertaken, in which the two countries' contextual background is described along with their RRR performance from a lifecycle perspective. Barriers and countermeasures to improve the RRR rates are discussed based upon mutual learning between the two countries.",

note = "Funding Information: with <1% landfill, and UK as a European case for ELV parts reuse and material recycling (this work is based on a study funded by the UK Technology Strategy Board). We first describe the regulatory and contextual background before reviewing the current recovery rates achieved in the UK and Japan since 2006. Then we compare the countries{\textquoteright} respective performance to identify specific barriers and drivers in those two regions. Finally, we make recommendations which can be generalised for the automotive industry as a whole. Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2015 The Authors.
