A total of 11 car parts that contain valuable and scarce materials have been selected using thermodynamic rarity, an indicator that helps assess elements and minerals in exergy terms according to their relative scarcity in the crust and the energy required to extract and refine them. A recyclability analysis using a product-centric approach was then undertaken using dedicated software, HSC Chemistry. To that end, the dismantling of these car parts into three main fractions was performed. Each car part was divided into non-ferrous, steel, and aluminum flows. A general metallurgical process was developed and simulated for each flow, including all the required equipment to extract most of the minor but valuable metals. Of the 11 parts, only 7 have a recyclability potential higher than 85%. By treating these selected car parts appropriately, the raw materials’ value recovered from the car can increase by 6%. The approach used in this paper can help provide guidelines to improve the eco-design of cars and can also be applied to other sectors. Ultimately, this paper uniquely introduces simulation-based thermodynamic rarity analysis for thermodynamic based product “design for recycling”. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/101003587/EU/leading the TRansion of the European Automotive SUpply chain towards a circulaR futurE/TREASURE This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 101003587-TREASURE info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-116851RB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.3 2023 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 159 / 358 = 0.444 2023 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 66 / 182 = 0.363 2023 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 58 / 91 = 0.637 2023 Q3 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 58 / 91 = 0.637 2023 Q3 T2 0.672 2023 Geography, Planning and Development 2023 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Computer Networks and Communications 2023 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2023 Q2 Hardware and Architecture 2023 Q2 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2023 Q2 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2023 Q2 6.8 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Abadías, Alejandro Valero, Alicia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3330-1793 Calvo, Guiomar Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9263-7321 Reuter, Markus Andreas Ortego, Abel (orcid)0000-0002-6148-1253 4013 205 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
