摘要：Disposal of cars and light commercial vehicles at the end of their operational lives(- ELVs) is estimated to generate over ten million tones of material requiring treatment and disposal in 2005 within the European Union. This volume is projected to increase to fourteen million tones by 2015 as the number and average weight of vehicles increases. The company Adam Opel AG operates as a subsidiary of General Motors Europe AG,which is a major part of General Motors Corporation. Adam Opel AG is working on environmental protection for a long time ( before 1990) since they realized they must act responsibly with the resources and they must invested decades of work into environmental innovation to reduce pollution and raise their sustainability. In terms of product development Opel’s recycling strategy is based on two cornerstones: recycling –oriented design and development and implementation of material cycles for vehicle production.
