Nowadays, it is necessary to consider the impact of production on the environment and search for tools that can help to evaluate the negative impacts throughout the product lifecycle. Car wrecks in terms of material composition are very complex as they contain dozens of different materials. Composition of the car wreck, however, depends on the type of vehicle, its age and manufacturer, respectively on country of origin. The amount of waste depends primarily on product design and hence the recyclability of materials used. In the context of environmental protection and environmental requirements for products and services, this article focuses on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The aim of this article is to provide a study of recycling discarded vehicles and modeling of this process from the perspective of LCA.

Keywords: automotive industry, environmental impacts, life cycle assessment, material flow, recycling
