As 18% of the global population relies on some type of vehicle for transportation, grasping the importance of vehicle recycling and its benefits is essential. This process is closely linked to environmental advantages, such as minimizing landfill waste and conserving energy, both vital for protecting our planet.

In an era where environmental conservation is not just a choice but a necessity, the automotive industry faces a significant challenge: what happens to vehicles when they reach the end of their life? Enter the End of Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive, a pivotal piece of legislation introduced by the European Union that seeks to address this very question. At its core, the ELV Directive aims to prevent the creation of waste from vehicles being discarded and to promote the recycling and reuse of their components. This groundbreaking directive has not only reshaped the automotive recycling industry but also set a precedent for environmental responsibility worldwide.
