  1. Automotive Recycling - from Recycler’s point of view European Group of Automotive Recycling Associations Umbrella association for national associations12 years old  Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, UK, Ireland Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, France, Spain, Poland  2.500 dismantlers - 2 mill. elvs  Involved in the creation of the directive Quo Vadis Automotive Recycling - Warsaw, 16. May 2003 Lennart Scharff, Director DAG & EGARA-secretary

  2. Automotive Recycling - from Recycler’s point of view Why a directive?  Europa has a waste problem  Per year: 12 mill. Elvs – 10 mill. tons of waste  25% is hazardous waste  Voluntary agreements insufficient  Principle of harmonisation and subsidiarity Result: Directive EEC/2000/53 – implemented 21.04.2002 Quo Vadis Automotive Recycling - Warsaw, 16. May 2003 Lennart Scharff, Director DAG & EGARA-secretary

  3. Automotive Recycling - from Recycler’s point of view The objectives of the directive Prevention - ban on certain materials - design for dismantling and reuse/recycling Colletion - set up collection systems Treatment - authorised facilities - reuse and recycling targets Quo Vadis Automotive Recycling - Warsaw, 16. May 2003 Lennart Scharff, Director DAG & EGARA-secretary

  4. Automotive Recycling - from Recycler’s point of view How to achieve the targets? Post-shredder technologies? - still under development - will not solve the problems on their own Network of locally based dismantlers needed - they perform the necessary pre-sorting Stimulation of re-use is essential - re-use is environment friendly Quo Vadis Automotive Recycling - Warsaw, 16. May 2003 Lennart Scharff, Director DAG & EGARA-secretary

  5. Automotive Recycling - from Recycler’s point of view Stimulating re-use Control and test-procedures - no safety or environment hazards - preferably in a certified system Minimum certification standards - will be published soon - must be accompanied with fair conditions Quo Vadis Automotive Recycling - Warsaw, 16. May 2003 Lennart Scharff, Director DAG & EGARA-secretary

  6. Automotive Recycling - from Recycler’s point of view EGARA - opinon EGARA stresses that, the “natural” delivery point for elvs are dismantlers – since: Dismantlers are locally based and therefore easily accessible for the car-owners; Only dismantlers have the unique competence required in order to decide whether a received elv, after de- pollution, is suitable for disassembling into re-useable spare parts; Quo Vadis Automotive Recycling - Warsaw, 16.

  7. Automotive Recycling - from Recycler’s point of view EGARA - opinon Dismantlers undertake the necessary pre- sorting of materials that, with current shredder- technologies, ensures that an optimal degree of recycling is possible. If elvs go directly to shredders, optimal re-use cannot be ensured, and recycling will get priority over re-use, which is not the intention of the directive Quo Vadis Automotive Recycling - Warsaw, 16.
