Abstract

How to cope with the problem of scrap automobiles and the environmental pollution caused by them is an issue that every automotive industrial country has to face in varying degrees; China is no exception. With the rapid economic growth, Chinese car production reached 13.79 million, in 2009, which made China rank first in the world for the first time for car production. But the scrap vehicle recycling industry is at its infancy. There are many serious problems in the scrap vehicle recycling industry, not least of which is the fact that improper disposal of hazardous substances and a lack of environmental protection measures are common in vehicle dismantling operations. This paper gives a brief introduction of Japanese and Chinese laws about End-of-Life Vehicles, the process of handling with them. This paper also makes a comparison of the present situation of scrap automobiles between Japan and China, trying to find an appropriate way for China to deal with the problem of scrap automobiles.
