Why is circular collaboration key to efficient end-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling?

Every year, millions of vehicles in Europe reach the end of their life. The EU’s ELV directive on car scrap collection and recycling grows increasingly strict over time, aiming to recycle all of the materials from end-of-life vehicles. And with new materials built into cars – and more vehicles powered by high-voltage batteries – reusing components and recycling materials is only going to get more complex. All this brings new challenges for the ELV industry.

What’s included?

As the leading recycler of ELVs in Scandinavia, Stena Recycling has developed a collaborative concept that has resulted in a win-win situation for all stakeholders in the value chain – from automotive OEMs and ELV dismantling businesses to repair workshops and insurance companies.
