Managing end-of-life vehicle networks: A longitudinal case of the UK

URL:

Abstract:

This research outlines the development of end-of-life vehicle network management in the UK from the early 1990s to mid-2006. The paper critically appraises the developments over a decade-and-a-half from the development of a voluntary scheme to a legislated regime for recovering end-of-life vehicles with the goal of reducing landfill waste. The research assesses the management implications (economic implications and industrial responses) of a voluntary vs. legislated approach, with regard to legitimacy and competitiveness drivers within vehicle manufacturers and service providers (vehicle dismantlers).
