The revision of the End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive is a long-awaited opportunity to adapt this piece of legislation to the overarching objectives of the European Green Deal and the new Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP). In alignment with the CEAP, the revision of the ELV Directive shows a high level of ambition on three pillars:

1. Eco-design
2. Connecting the dots with end-of-life treatment, including tackling loopholes to deal with vehicles whose whereabouts are unknown, and
3. Recycled content for certain materials, particularly plastics.

Join Recyclers’ Talks #6 on 15 November at 14:00 - 16:00 CET. We'll be discussing what is needed to tailor the ELV Directive to achieve greater circularity in the automotive sector and a more sustainable value chain, and see how different players can contribute to this goal.
