Abstract:With environmental problem becoming more prominent and resources scarce pressure increasing gradually, all countries in the world take the problem of waste disposal as the issues which will affect the sustainable development of a nation. The automobile industry is one of the main industries of energy consumption. In order to save resources and reduce environmental pollution, the paper uses the method of life cycle assessment to discuss automobile’s energy consumption and environmental impact in four stages of raw materials production, vehicle manufacturing, using and scrap recycling in our country. The recycling stage is divided into formal recycling and informal recycling and emphatically analyzes the formal recycling’s impact on the environment. The results show that use stage is the largest energy consumption and environmental impact phase and recycling phase has the minimum energy consumption and environmental impact. The paper provides the basis for improving the entire automotive life cycle environmental performance and strengthens the regular recycling scrapped automobiles management. © 2016 ICIC International.
