The aims of the directive are to minimise the amount of waste from E.L.V disposal. The majority of the waste produced is hazardous and harmful to our environment. Now when cars are scrapped we are required to remove as much as possible that can be reused or recycled. Current legislation dictates that 95% of ELV’s should be recycled one way or another. The only way this will be achieved is through depollution, this will maximise the amount that can be recovered from each vehicle.
