ABSTRACT
The book, Progressive Automotive Waste Utilisation Technologies as Driving Forces of Sustainable Development, focuses on innovative approaches to automotive waste management and its role in advancing sustainability and the circular economy. The publication emerges from collaborative efforts among universities, research institutions, and industry experts, aiming to address environmental and economic challenges posed by the growing automotive and e-mobility sectors.
The primary research objectives were to develop and evaluate advanced technologies for recycling various types of automotive waste, including laminated glass, lithium-ion batteries, polyurethane foams, and plastics. The research also aimed to explore material innovations and energy recovery processes, all within the framework of sustainable development and compliance with evolving legislative demands.
Key findings include:
• Effective methods for recycling laminated glass and polyurethane foams into new products.
• Insights into material recovery processes for lithium-ion batteries and their implications for resource efficiency.
• Development of noise barriers using recycled materials, showcasing practical applications in infrastructure.
• Strategies for the energy recovery of industrial sludge from the automotive sector.
The results demonstrate significant potential for reducing environmental impacts, conserving natural resources, and enhancing the economic value of automotive waste. In practice, these findings can inform the design of recycling systems, support the development of new sustainable products, and guide policymakers in shaping waste management strategies aligned with circular economy principles.
By providing theoretical insights and practical solutions, the book serves as a valuable resource for professionals, academics, and policymakers working toward sustainability in the automotive and waste management sectors.
