IMPACT OF RECYCLING IN THE AUTOMOBILE
INDUSTRY
Rapid development alongside growth in the
human population in the developing nations
for the last two decades has resulted in a
legacy of vast spread environmental
pollutions.
The automobile is one of the mainly
consumed materials globally. The world has
undergone numerous changes in almost all
the aspects with having a vehicle becoming a
very popular thing of the present. An increase
in the number as well as production of
vehicles has turned out to be the main
controller of the global automobile market
(Davidson, Binks and Gediga, 2016).
Management of automobile wastes involve
reusing and recycling waste materials
including solvents, batteries, metal, glass as
well as plastics. Recycling of such materials
aids in address of the concerns of the
environment and enabling them to address
challenge of depletion of resources (Gu et
al., 2017).
Research Question
What are the impacts of recycling in the
automobile industry?
Research Objective
The main objective of the research is to establish
the impacts of recycling in automobile industry
Other objectives include
• Conduct literature on waste and waste
management in automobile industry
• Research on the various components of an
automobile and percentage by mass
• Establish how recycling is attained in
automobile industry
Introduction Composition of Vehicles
The ordinary vehicle is made up of numerous
materials including rubber tyres, steel body
frame, lead batteries, copper wires, glass
windows alongside traces of metals including
magnesium, cobalt, zinc, tin as well as
platinum. There has been a significant change
in the composition of (Karurkar, Unnikrishnan
and Panda, 2018).Waste Management
Numerous initiates in numerous countries have
been suggested and are adopted in the
management of solid waste globally. Strategies
were initiated and proffered by experts for
reduction of the volume of generation of
wastes. Among the major ways that are at the
moment used in the management of wastes in
general terms include recovering, reduction,
recycling, reusing, prevention, incineration as
well as landfills among others (Mathur, Valecha
and Khanna, 2018).
Management of Plastic wastes
Plastics tend to be cheaper, durable and
lightweight materials which may easily be
molded into various products that may be used
in an avalanche of applications. As a result the
production of plastics as well as the percentage
of plastics that are used in vehicles has
significantly shot over the last few years (Qiao
et al., 2018).
Methodology
Research approach
Qualitative data collection is the
research approach used in this study.
This kind of qualitative method is in the
form of structured texts insinuating the
articles, reports, books as well as
papers.
Research Design
To attain the objectives of this research,
the qualitative design approach that will
be used is case study. Case studies will
be used in the exploration and
explanation of the different phenomena
which for this study would be how
recycling has impacted or changed the
automobile industry (Villanueva et al.,
2018).
Data collection
Collection of data will be mainly
conducted at the secondary level where
information on effects of recycling on
automobile industry is derived from the
different secondary information sources.
The information extracted is used as
firsthand information and hence being
used as the point of references in
circumstance of emergency of
contradictory information.
Data Analysis
The collected data will be analyzed
using various techniques of data
analysis that would see sense made out
of the collected data. Computers and
associated computer softwares will be
used to hasten the process of data
analysis as well as enhance the
accuracy of the analysis in its entirety
(Villanueva et al., 2018).
