Economic and sustainability assessment of electric motor recycling

Inna Soroka

CEO at Region Dalarna

Knivsta, Sweden

About

The following materials can be sequentially separated: (1) steel® (2) aluminium® (3) copper® (4) permanent magnets. The working time required for motor disassembly (labour costs) as well as the costs for energy and consumables at each step will be assessed. The environmental pollution (if any) of each step will be also addressed.

We suggest comparing the environmental impact and the costs required for electric motors disassembly at different EU countries (ECIV regions), for example, Sweden, Spain, Finland, Lithuania and others. To implement the project idea, we are willing to collaborate with car recycling companies from respective regions.

The motor disassembly is the first step towards the recycling, reuse and refurbishment of the materials used in electric motors. The next step (second part of the project) could be an estimation of economic feasibility and environmental impact of the methods for EV motor recycling.
