Modelling the great lakes freeze: Forecasting and seasonality in the market for ferrous scrap. rep., Central Pollution Control Board and Chintan Environmental Research and Action Group and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, New DelhiĪlbertson, K., & Aylen, J. Analysis of end of life vehicles (ELVs) sector in India. B., Sharma, M., Puri, M., Chaturvedi, B., Mehra, G., Bharadwaj, S., Mutz, G., Arora, R., & Saluja, M. From our analysis, we suggest that lowering dismantling costs through coordination among the dismantlers and providing support for scrap prices through regulation can improve the dismantling situation in these markets.Īkolkar, A. Using the Indian data, the simulation results show that the unregulated market will lead to lower dismantling capacity, which may further worsen by increase in dismantling costs. We conjecture that the dismantlers’ dilemma constrains the dismantling capacity and fluctuates the scrap supply in unregulated recycling markets. Dismantlers entry and exit decisions- dismantlers’ dilemma-are based on profitability. These markets are close to perfectly competitive markets with low enter and exit barriers for dismantlers, and the scrap from dismantled vehicles is traded as a commodity. We analyze ELV recycling in an unregulated market through a system dynamics model. Regulated ELV recycling markets for ELV recycling ensure an efficient material recovery, unlike unregulated markets which are present predominantly in emerging economies. ELVs form a valuable source of materials when they are recycled in an efficient manner. Stringent environmental regulations, improving technology, and growing incomes have shortened vehicle life-cycles that leads to increasing number of end-of life vehicles (ELVs).
