It's objective is to research and technically prove materials re-use and recycling processes with a view to reducing the amount of scrapped vehicle waste going to landfill from the disposal of End of Life Vehicles (ELV's).

The directive lays down landfill targets for vehicle waste and a series of conditions on how those targets can be acheived, the actual directive text is available on-line and a link to the EU website can be found in the "Links" section of this website. The CARE Group works closely with ACORD (Automotive Consortium on Recycling and Dismantling), details of the important work which ACORD is involved in can be found on the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) website, a link has been provided in the "Links" section of this website. |
