Abstract
This chapter is the result of one of the research works carried out in the framework of the DOLI project (Analysis and development of techniques for Design and Operations of Reverse Logistics systems). The chapter focuses on the collection and treatment of waste generated during the use phase of automobiles’ life-cycle. First, the different types of waste arising during vehicles’ service life are characterized using data collected in collaboration with SIGRAUTO, the product stewardship organization in charge of vehicles’ recovery in Spain. Next, three organizational models for collection and treatment of those residues are proposed. The three alternatives are benchmarked and assessed from a double organizational and operational perspective for the particular case of the Madrid region in Spain.
