Recycled material from the vehicle may replace a mix of virgin material, recycled material from other sources, and completely different types of material. The type of materials that are replaced depends on political constraints, the price elasticity etc. at the markets for recycled material. This paper presents a methodological approach to allocation in open-loop recycling, which takes the market aspects into account.
