2. INTRODUCTION Definition Significance – 9 million vehicles are dumped each year 1997 EU proposal, Manufacturer responsibility Substance disposal should be reduced Rate of material recovery increased projected achievement by 2006 Jan. = 85%

3. ELV Initial Exemptions. Lead as an alloying element Steel containing up to 0.35% lead by weight Aluminium containing up to 0.4% lead by weight Aluminium (wheel rims, engine parts and window levers) containing up to 4% lead by weight Copper alloy containing up to 4% lead by weight Lead/bronze bearing shells and bushes Lead and lead in components Batteries Coating inside petrol tanks Solder in electronic circuit boards and other applications Mercury in bulbs and instrument panal displays

4. Restricts the use of certain heavy metals in new vehicles from 1 July 2003. Introduces a 'certificate of destruction' for scrapped vehicles. Requires producers to mark certain vehicle components to aid recycling. Requires producers to make available dismantling information. States that producers must provide free take back for vehicles put on the market from 1 July 2002 Requires that ELVs can only be scrapped ('treated') by authorised treatment facilities, which must meet tightened environmental standards. THE DIRECTIVE

5. RECYCLING PROCESS BY BMW GROUP Pre treatment RECYCLING PROCESS BY BMW GROUP Pre treatment

6. High-end recycling: reuse of components and parts

7. Material recycling for metal, glass and plastics

9. Nissan’s X-TRAL FCV in which C02 is used as refrigerant

10. Strategy for Increasing Recyclability Maintain a flexible recycling process different techniques and materials Develop automated ways to recover bulk materials. Emphasize R&D on post-shred material identification, sorting, and product recovery. Focus R&D efforts on materials not recycled today by sorters Develop uses for recovered materials and testing specifications. Encourage investment in the infrastructure needed to achieve the recyclability goal. Develop a means to prevent the entry of PCBs and other hazardous materials into the recycling stream

11. Priority needs for ELV recycling Proactive Industry-Wide Action Industry-Wide Analysis Increase End-Use Value of Recovered Materials Material Design Pre-Shred Recovery Post-Shred Material Identification and Sorting Lower the Risk of Technology Development and Purchase

12. Steps for Implementing Recycling ELV Steps for Implementing Recycling ELV Participation of the diverse range of stakeholders. Recycling Industry – Transporters, Dismantlers, Reuse/Remanufactures, Shred/sorters Equipment Manufacturers Automobile Companies Material and Component Suppliers Trade Associations Government Research Programs National Laboratories Universities

13. ADVANTAGES one of the largest source of metals apart from natural resources. Disposal to landfill of certain specific hazardous substances will be reduced virtually to zero. Enviormental problems due to dumping will be reduced.

14. DISADVANTAGES cost Lack of technology

15. CONCLUSION Technology of the future Natural resources are preserved
