Abstract: This contribution is based on a one year research on automotive materials recycling that are connected to a research program on Environmental Technologies and Recycling at CETEM -Center for Mineral Technology–. This article shows the environmental strategy as a core business for automotive industry on behalf of which car companies are designing new models seeking for cleaner plants and “greener cars”to keep sustainability and competitiveness. It also discusses if the sustainability of this industry can be acheived or not by enforcing recyclibility of automotive materiails. The organization of the article is as follows: an introductory overview of the automobile industry and the global environmental concerns; a brief view of the design for recycling strategy and the environmental management in car companies in Brazil; some technical aspects of materials recycling are highlighted and complemented by the some remarks on perspectives and contraints for the two most important automotive materials: steel and plastics. Finally some concluding remarks are presented. 1- Introdução: A reciclagem faz parte de um cenário maior no qual se situa a questão dos impactos ambientais da produção industrial, onde o automóvel destaca-se
