End of Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive (2000/53/EC)
Description
Directive 2000/53/EC is meant to minimize the impact of the end of life
of vehicles on environment by restricting the use of certain heavy
metals in new vehicles from 1 July 2003. The objective is to ensure
that 85% of an end of life vehicle by weight will be recycled by the
year 2006, increasing to 95% by the year 2015 with additional
de-pollution tasks being progressively introduced.
