The recycling, recovery and reuse of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) has raised worldwide concerns. This paper identified drivers for new joining solutions in the automotive industry and specifically reviewed current use of adhesive technology. From an ELV recycling point of view, rapid assembly and disassembly joining solutions were identified as key technology drivers. Innovations in adhesive disbonding technologies were reviewed and suggestions for the most promising future disbonding technologies have been proposed.
