Résumé
The transition towards a circular economy is a pressing priority for addressing the environmental and economic challenges posed by end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). This study critically analyzes global disassembly practices and their alignment with circular economy objectives, focusing on the reuse, recycling, and remanufacturing of high-value components such as lithium-ion batteries and catalytic converters. Using the PRISMA framework and a thematic analytical synthesis, a systematic literature review examines practices across Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and Oceania. Key findings highlight significant regional disparities: Europe excels with advanced infrastructures and robust regulations; Asia demonstrates innovation with Japan’s 95% vehicle reuse rate and China’s leadership in lithium-ion battery recycling; North America achieves high recycling rates for steel and aluminum but faces challenges with EV battery recycling. Africa and South America struggle with limited infrastructure but show progress in initiatives like EV battery repurposing in South Africa and structured recycling markets in Brazil. Oceania benefits from government-supported recycling but lacks scaling capacity. Emerging technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence offer transformative solutions. The study proposes actionable pathways to enhance material recovery, integrate reverse logistics, and advance Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, supporting sustainable development goals in the automotive sector.
