Chapter 7: The dynamic and distributed nature of the recycling rate of the car - a fundamental description of recycling systems: 7.2 Recycling Rates.

Chapter 7.2 of the book "The Metrics of Material and Metal Ecology: Harmonizing the Resource, Technology and Environmental Cycles" is presented. The section defines the term recycling rate.
