What EU End-of-Life Vehicles Directive 2000/53/EC requires
EU Directive 2000/53/EC on End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) implements producer responsibility for vehicles at the end of their useful life. Vehicle manufacturers must achieve minimum reuse/recovery and reuse/recycling targets (85%/80% from 2006 then 95%/85% from 2015 by weight per vehicle and year). The Directive restricts use of lead mercury cadmium and hexavalent chromium in vehicles and components (with Annex II exemptions for specific applications). End-of-life vehicles must be delivered to Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) where free take-back is provided to last holder/owner. A 2024 proposed ELV Regulation would replace this Directive with a more comprehensive product-end-of-life framework.
