ONTARE. REVISTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN DE LA FACULTAD DE INGENIERÍA
The international vehicle scrapping process has included the reuse, treatment and recovery of waste with potential return to the economic cycle as management alternatives, which in turn leads to reduced environmental liabilities generated by the disposal of large volumes that decrease the lifespan of landfills.
This study provides an analysis of the vehicle scrapping process for the public sector, in this case taxis, carried out by the company Sidenal which is authorized by colombian law for that purpose. For the analysis of the composition of the waste generated in the process, a Spark model vehicle was used, given that this model has the greatest share in the vehicle scrapping process; according to figures provided by the company Sidenal.
