在英国,每年报废的轿车和轻型商用车约有180万辆,它们或是到了使用年限,或是因为事故而损坏,这就相当于产生了200万吨的废弃材料。对于一个面积只比广东省大一点点的国家来说,处理这些废料是一个严峻的挑战。 目前,英国已达到使用年限的车辆的材料回收利用率为75％,但汽车业界已经雄心勃勃做出承诺:到2002年将这个比率提高到85％。为了实现这一目标,那些参与汽车设计到解体全过程的有关组织决定联合起来,成立了车辆回收利用及处理联盟,简称ACORD。
In the United Kingdom, about 1.8 million cars and light commercial vehicles are scrapped every year. They have either reached the end of their useful lives or have been damaged due to accidents. This amounts to 2 million tons of waste materials. For a country that is only a little larger than Guangdong Province, the disposal of these wastes is a serious challenge. At present, the recycling rate of materials for vehicles that have reached the age in the UK is 75%, but the automotive industry has made an ambitious commitment to increase this rate to 85% by 2002. In order to achieve this goal, those organizations involved in the entire process from car design to disintegration decided to unite and set up the Alliance for Vehicle Recycling and Treatment, abbreviated as ACORD.
