Recent trends in the proper management of End of Life Vehicles have led some auto recyclers to adopt machine-based dismantling to improve their yield. The machines are modified excavators that allow a greater degree of control and force for vehicle disassembly. We present and discuss the results of a 3-month real world trial conducted at an Australian auto dismantler assessing the environmental impact of using a multi-dismantling machine for material segregation. The results suggest that this process is a better alternative to the current norm used by metal recyclers, shredding followed by shredder output separation, in terms of environmental impact but not energy consumption.
