Abstract: | To examine an appropriate recycling system for end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) from Japan in the context of Asia, an Asian international
automobile recycling input-output (AI-ARIO) analysis is presented. The AI-ARIO analysis spatially expands the existing ARIO
analysis within the framework of the waste input-output (WIO) analysis developed by Nakamura et al., which considers the interdependence
between the flow of goods and wastes in a country. This analysis focuses on the local and global cycles for ELVs in Asia and
can evaluate the environmental and economic effects of alternative recycling systems. We estimated the AI-ARIO table for Japan
and Thailand and applied it to scenario analyses covering the restriction of ELV trade between the two countries, the introduction
of new recycling techniques in Thailand, and centralized treatment in Japan. We verified the applicability and effectiveness
of the AI-ARIO analysis through the scenario analyses. |
