8. Relevant information about cars
The most complex consumer product
Many different types of materials (metal, plastics, textiles, rubber, fluids)
parts per car
15-25 year life span
Many spare parts and accessories
Few OEMs
Volvo: more than parts are currently being sold worldwide
Vi anser att vi har den mest komplexa konsumentprodukt som finns

9. Why Collect Information?
End of Life Vehicle Directive, 2003
Recyclability part of Type Approval
Internal requirements
Customer concerns
Efficiency
Future Needs
REACh
Green Chemistry initiative
Scarce raw materials
Material content?

10. The European End of Life Vehicle Directive (2000/53/EEC)
ELV objectives:
Prevention of waste from vehicles
Improvement in environmental performance
Reuse & recycling of End-of-Life vehicles to reduce disposal of waste
Limits the use of Heavy Metals
Producer pays principle

11. The rest of the world
North America: Focus on hazardous substances, not recycling
Korea: ELV-type legislation in place
China: Draft ELV legislation in place
Japan: JAMA voluntary agreement and ASR tax (After Shredder Residue)
Taiwan: Voluntary regulation
India: ELV under development
Mexico: ELV subsidised by Japan
Conclusion: A Diverse climate to work in

13. What is IMDS Web based tool to create and send “Material Datasheets”
Used to transfer information about material, substances and weight per components
Launched in 2001…
…and has turned into an industry standard
Free for all users, funded by the OEMs
Used throughout the whole sypply chain

22. Limitations of IMDS Only for the automotive industry
Not always in the interest of our suppliers
Very centralized approach
IT-structure
Funding (i.e interest)
Easily becomes a political issue
12 years old, starting to show
Difficult to expand beyond original scope
<Material Data Collection in the Automotive Industry>, <Material and Weight Management>, <James Lundström>, <jlundst2>
Issue date: < >, Security Class: <Public>

23. Spin-offs from IMDS Huge impact regulatory development
Legislation developed around IMDS
Used as best industry example
Improved Environmental Performance
Global industry harmonization of ”Restricted Substances” within the Automotive Industry (GADSL)
Industry networks formed around substance compliance
Chemical industry a main contributor of knowledge

24. Global Automotive Declarable Substance List
Common Industry wide ”Black and Grey list” for parts
Specifies substances of ”interest” to the Automotive industry
Developed in cooperation between OEMs, suppliers and raw material producers
Updated annually
GADSL fully integrated into our processes, such as IMDS
GADSL will manage any future regulation such as REACh

25. How does IMDS help with REACH?
Tool in place to track all relevant substances
Article 33 under control with no additional processes
Annex XIV and Annex XVII can be tracked automatically
Facilitates impact assessments of new candidate list entries
Easy to understand relevant Annex XV dossiers and provide industry input

26. ”Lessons learned” with IMDS
Tremendous effort to launch, end customer will always be the driver
Time and resources
”Ketchup effect”
Good internal organization needed, support over time
Common requirements is a must
Good communication between suppliers and manufacturers is a must
Educational effort is needed throughout the industry, don’t overestimate supplier knowledge
Suppliers must be given time to react
Strong correlation between system quality and data quality
Cooperation is the key to success!

29. Some advice Business drives Environment Environment drives Business
Legal requirements seldom follow business logic
Make sure your business can adapt efficiently
Legal requirements always evolve, be proactive
Legal requirements are (mostly) Non-competitive, Co-operation saves time and money
Never underestimate the timing issue for major change
Involve all affected parties from the beginning
Keep engineering issues outside of politics

32. Conclusions
Environmental product development has moved from generic tools (LCA-based) to specific subjects
Key subjects today (beyond CO2) are:
Recycling, Substances of concern and consumer impact
The residual value of our products creates a good business case for recycling
Volvo and the Automotive industry is well adapted for future material and substance regulations, worldwide
The knowledge level is beyond any other industry today
Which helps us being proactive and improves our environmental performance
The automotive industry is one of the most regulated but also most succesful in terms of Environmental Product Development
