Vicente B. Vert, PhD at AIMPLAS, based in Spain, provides us with his view on the benefits of boosting the circular economy by recycling plastics from ELVs.

According to the text in the ELV Directive (DIRECTIVE 2000/53/EC), its priority lays on the prevention of waste from vehicles and then the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and their components to reduce the disposal of waste.
