Ecological and economical development of innovative strategy and process for clean maintenance and dismantling further recycling of vehicle parts

Objective

To achieve objectives of End of Life Vehicle directive (ELV), the automotive industry and its suppliers need tointegrate at design stage of next generation of vehicles, innovative processes and methodologies that will beused for maintenance, dismantling and recycling of car elements.Today the automotive industry suffers from alack of solutions that could combine cost-effectiveness, quickness, low energy consumption and selectivity formaintenance, dismantling and recycling of materials such as plastic, composite, glazing, metals and aluminiumparts, which are used more and more. The objective of ECODIS project is to provide to the automotive industryecologie and economic processes to oversome these difficulties and improve its competitiveness. This will bedone through the integration of active systems within adhesives that are expandable when exposing them to anexternal energy source. To develop processes for debonding operations, the partners will focus their efforts on :-Specifications of a wide range of active systems, type, temperature sensitivity range and coating preventingdegradation-Range and type of suitable energy sources, infrared, UV and electrical.- All technology experimentalresults and best options for each interface.-Computer mathematical model identifying the most suitablemicrospheres with the trigger options to match the adhesive and materials to be bonded and de-bonded.-Computer mathematical model identifying the most suitable active systems with the trigger options for theapplication of curing to match the adhesive and the materials to be bonded.- Processes and methods to usethese materials for debonding operationsd during maintenance and dismantling operations.The consortiumgathers 12 partners from 7 EU countries (6 EU countries and CH) and includes 3 high tech SMEs. Theconsortium is representative of the European automotive industry (car makers, suppliers for glazings, plasticcomposites...
