Joint Statement: Improve the Reuse and High-Quality Recycling of Materials and Components from End-of-Life Vehicles
In light of the European Commission’s July 2023 proposal to revise and merge key vehicle and waste directives, the signatories of this joint statement call on co-legislators to better align the new Regulation on End-of-Life Vehicles with the Waste Hierarchy. Strengthening reuse and high-quality recycling is essential to reduce the environmental impact of the automotive sector, boost the circular economy, and increase the availability of secondary raw materials—supporting the EU’s strategic autonomy and sustainability goals.
