Different scenarios for aluminum usage in automotive body structure are examined with emphasis on the potential effects on recycling. Alloy selection issues are addressed with regard to the limits on absorption of recycled automotive scrap into new cast or wrought products. The difference between 'open loop' and 'closed loop' recycling is discussed. Possible impacts of increased aluminum usage on the needs for separation technology and recycling infrastructure are reviewed briefly. Designing an automobile for today's market presents the designer with a set of challenges that may well exceed those faced by his predecessors. As in the past, the designer must satisfy the need for safe, comfortable, reliable and stylish transportation at a reasonable price to the customer and a reasonable profit to the automaker. But society has recently complicated the designer's job by adding requirements that the vehicle be more fuel efficient and kinder to the environment.
