Towards recycled plastic content targets in new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
Technical proposals and analysis of impacts in the context of the review of the ELV Directive
In the framework of the joint revision of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive 2000/53/EC and the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their reusability, recyclability and recoverability (3RTA) Directive 2005/64/EC, the European Commission is investigating the possibility of introducing recycled plastic content targets for new vehicles placed on the EU market. The present work consists in a preliminary analysis to consolidate EC’s data and knowledge on plastics contained in vehicles, current and future practices and on evaluating capacity of the recycling industry to produce high quality recycled plastics. The objective is also to assess technical barriers and opportunities for further uptake of recycled plastics in vehicle. Finally, this study aims to produce technical proposals for mandatory recycled plastic content targets (with associated levels), with associated pros, cons and impacts, which have been used in the Impact Assessment study and that could be proposed to be included in the legislative proposal.
