With the implementation of the European directive 2000/53/EG on end-of life vehicles (ELV) and 2005/64/EG on the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their reusability, recyclability and recoverability car manufacturers are obliged as part of the car type-approval to meet a recycling rate of at least 85% and a recovery rate of 95% . The calculation method for the recycling rate is defined in ISO 22628. For the EU type-approval, information regarding material (type and mass), parts to be disassembled, as well as a complete documentation of the recycling and recovery processes of all materials is needed along with the calculated recycling rate. This paper presents a method of assuring the achievement of the required rates, integrated in the software tool ProdTect. The software module is developed by KERP together with MAGNA STEYR and IWF, TU Braunschweig. The DfR (Design for Recycling) tool evaluates the vehicle end-of-life from the early concepts of the new vehicle as changes are more easily applied in this phase. This method starts with the definition of the minimal set of data that a vehicle model in the DfR software should have to be able to be assessed. This method also proposes an adaptive algorithm that allows an incremental product model definition in the DfR tool that follows the vehicle concepts definition levels from the first concepts to the detailed design. Product developers are flooded by an amount of new regulations that is difficult to handle. ProdTect allows producers to keep these requirements under control by providing a holistic overview. It turns product developers into product architects and helps realizing End-of-Life cost savings and legal compliance. Once passed on to the market, implemented cost savings measures will help increasing customer satisfaction and market share, thus turning regulatory challenges in competitive advantages.
