“…Although most of the literature is on the analysis of local laws and regulations, in recent years, some researchers began to compare and analyze the laws and regulations of several countries or regions. Despeisse et al [49] made a comparative analysis of Britain and Japan, describing the background and RRR (the recovery, recycling, and reuse) performance of the two countries in terms of the life cycle. The environmental performance and legislative boundaries of the current ELVs recovery processes in Belgium and Australia were compared by Soo et al [50].…”

Under the background of the prompt development of the global economy and continuous improvement of environmental protection awareness, end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), as an essential part of “urban mineral”, have the substantial economic, resource, and environmental value. The research on reverse logistics of ELVs has developed rapidly, but the existing relevant reviews are based on unique research perspectives and do not fully understand the whole field. This work aims to help comprehend the research status of reverse logistics of ELVs, excavate and understand the critical publications, and reveal the main research topics in the past 20 years. Based on 299 articles published in ISI Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database from 2000 to 2019, this paper uses the methodologies of literature bibliometrics and content analysis, combined with VOS viewer, CiteSpace, and Bibexcel software. Besides, the literature quantity and cited situation, core journals, distribution of countries and regions, institutions, core authors, subject categories, and keywords information are analyzed to determine the primary trends and future research hot spots focus on reverse logistics of ELVs.

“…Ít is thus, arguably, a misuse of legislation by the legislative body [47,48]. Although Japan also formulated the Basic Act on Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society, which looks similar to the CEPL in China, it is nevertheless based on resource recycling norms, and there are also a large number of lower-level laws and regulations to support the implementation of this Act [53][54][55][56]. Therefore, circular economy legislation can only be effective if it is formulated based on national conditions, faces the problems in reality, and follows the rules of legislation whereby it sets out detailed obligations, norms and provides for relevant liabilities in order to influence behavior in the direction of the circular economy.…”

Can Legislation Promote a Circular Economy? A Material Flow-Based Evaluation of the Circular Degree of the Chinese Economy

The circular economy has been widely developed in China and other countries. However, China has been the most proactive country in upgrading its economic model by enacting a Circular Economy Promotion Law (CEPL). Nearly 10 years have passed since the adoption of the CEPL, and it is thus essential to evaluate the progress of circular economy development to see if the targets have been achieved. Although it is extremely difficult to evaluate the role of the CEPL in the development of a circular economy in China, we think that if we can estimate the circular degree of the Chinese economy and identify the changes of some key indicators before and after the adoption of the CEPL, it will be helpful in judging whether the CEPL has played a key role in promoting the transition of the economic development model. Since the existing circular economy indicators and evaluation systems have focused mainly on the recycling of resources, we designed a methodology based on the material flow that can be used to evaluate the circular degree of the whole national economy. Through a detailed observation of the circular economy indicators of China, we conclude that the CEPL has not yet played a significant role in promoting the circular economy as was previously believed.

Sustainability in the automotive sector and appropriate end-of-life (EOL) management options for car tyres are important and constitute global issues. There is currently an oversupply of EOL tyres and the potential of circular economy (CE) tyres and for bio-based (BB) tyres warrants further investigation. Likewise, BB and CE tyres might be an interesting approach to improve the overall sustainability of the tyre life cycle. Research on drivers for the acceptance of CE and BB tyres is currently missing. In 1989, a socio-economy model was created to understand the acceptance of various products. This model is still popular in many areas but does not address sustainability questions of the 21st century appropriately. This article aims to provide a better understanding of the factors which drive acceptance of sustainable tyres. It presents an acceptance model and related influence factors in three areas: variables related to the consumers, perceived product characteristics and stimulating moderator variables. The third aspect refers in particular to labels and certification influencing consumer views on existing product characteristics. This article ends by discussing how availability of such labels could be promoted through eco-labelling of tyres and related standardization, addressing the industry and policy makers to make the automotive sector more sustainable.
