Description
Zeng and five co-authors map end of life vehicles worldwide to grow the circular economy, in work from twenty twenty-six. Cars improve life and drive economies, yet scrapped vehicles hold large amounts of steel, aluminum, and other valuable resources. Many are wasted.
Generation of end of life vehicles was predicted for commercial vehicles and passenger cars across more than a hundred countries. Developed countries like Japan, Germany, and France peaked in the twenty tens. China rose dramatically, with a many fold increase. Knowing where tomorrow scrap cars arise lets recycling capacity be built ahead of the wave.
