suitable for any other purpose). Here the emphasis machinery without proper concern for metallurgy,
should be on reuse, considered the most important, fatigue, or testing can make it a risky proposition to
in product recovery. Reusing materials/components/ drive vehicles that have these parts. In the current
products after its first life cycle in subsequent life cycles Indian context, where Auto Component Manufacturers
of the same product or in other applications, in an Association (ACMA) is wrestling with spurious parts,
effort to reduce the use of new (virgin) raw materials remanufacturing is not recommended. Table 3 presents
to produce such materials/components/products, the integration of the 6R concept in the responsibilities
needs to be done. But in the current Indian scenario of the different stakeholders in sustainable ELV
of substandard units, refurbishing worn-out parts and recovery and management system/business model.
Now we elaborate on stakeholders responsibility for
implementing the proposed framework.
Table 3: Integrated 6R within framework for ELV recycling system
Activity Responsibility Explanation
Reduce Manufacturer Reduce material variability
Reuse Part dealers/ Sale of reusable parts
Recycle manufacturer collected from the dismantling
Remanufacture process
Redesign
Recover Recyclers Recycle used materials as raw
material for manufacturers/
other use
Remanufacturer Damaged parts which are still
usable will be remanufactured
by OEM
Manufacturer Design parts for easier and
efficient ELV dismantling
Incinerator Regain the energy embedded
in the material
