Disposal of cars and light commercial vehicles at the end of their operational lives (end of life vehicles – ELVs) is estimated to generate over 10 million tonnes of material requiring treatment and disposal in 2005 within the EU. This volume is projected to increase to 14 million tonnes by 2015 as the number and average weight of vehicles increases. The problems created by the generation of ELV waste arising have been addressed by Directive 2000/53/EC (the ‘ELV Directive’); which aims to reduce the amount of hazardous waste, increase the re-use, recycling and recovery of materials from ELVs and to improve the environmental performance of operators involved in the production and maintenance of vehicles and in the treatment of ELVs. Post-shredder techniques in order to recover mainly the non-ferrous fraction are presented.

Abstract

Disposal of cars and light commercial vehicles at the end of their operational lives (end of life vehicles – ELVs) is estimated to generate over 10 million tonnes of material requiring treatment and disposal in 2005 within the EU. This volume is projected to increase to 14 million tonnes by 2015 as the number and average weight of vehicles increases. The problems created by the generation of ELV waste arising have been addressed by Directive 2000/53/EC (the ‘ELV Directive’); which aims to reduce the amount of hazardous waste, increase the re-use, recycling and recovery of materials from ELVs and to improve the environmental performance of operators involved in the production and maintenance of vehicles and in the treatment of ELVs. Post-shredder techniques in order to recover mainly the non-ferrous fraction are presented.
