英文摘要	As issues concerning "circular economy" and "sustainable development" have been advocated globally, the recycling, reuse, recovery or disposal of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) have gained more and more attention. Toxic substances and wasted resources within ELVs make evaluating the sustainability of ELV recycling enterprises to be especially important for sound ELV management. In this study, an improved emergy analysis with traditional and revised emergy indices was employed for evaluation of the efficiency and sustainability of ELV recycling enterprises. The constructed emergy indicator system not only reflected the ELV recycling system's resource, environmental, economic and technological efficiency, but also made a multi-scale and multi-dimensional evaluation of the system according to its industrial characteristics. An ELV recycling enterprise in Jiangxi Province, China, as a case, was studied employing the proposed method and indicator system. The results showed that the enterprise involved in the study had strong competitive ability with relatively high economic benefit, and had a moderate environmental impact compared with other industrial systems. The emergy sustainability index indicated that the recycling enterprise was both economically and environmentally sustainable in the long term. However, the emergy technical efficiency indices indicated that the technical level and operational efficiency of the ELV recycling enterprise were relatively low and more investment should be put into the improvement of the recycling technologies. The results of the study can provide useful information for the decision makers to manage ELV recycling enterprises considering not only economic benefits but also the environmental benefits in the long term.
