In December 2005, the European Union passed the Directive 2005/64/EC on the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their reusability, recyclability and recoverability. Therefore there is a need for support system to effectively calculate the recycling and recovery rates and to identify whether the all parts are marked the materials according to material coding standard. This paper proposes a Web-based system to calculate the recycling and recovery rates connecting with BOM (Bill of Material) for compliance with EU type-approval and other environmental legislation of many countries. The structure of proposed support system consists of two modules depending on users; evaluation system and data input system. The intranet evaluation system is composed of four main steps; vehicle registration based on BOM information, approval of input data, reference of BOM tree and establishment of evaluation criteria. The recycling and recovery rates are calculated based on the information of material and weight of each part following the ISO 22628 procedure which has four steps for ecological treatment; pre-treatment, dismantling, metal separation and non metallic residue treatment. The data input system implemented by XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) is used by designers of HMC and suppliers. After the data input using the XML system, the data are filled out automatically the main evaluation system when they are uploaded. Besides the main functions (calculation of the recycling and recovery rates, reference of the material marking), the system has many other functions; real-time evaluation, management of evaluation history and input states, upload of input data, connection with BOM, and others. The system can reduce the evaluation time by at least eighty percent and reduce the evaluation load of designers and suppliers by seventy percent compared to manual evaluation.
