How much of a car is really recycled?

摘要

The End of Life Vehicle (ELV) Regulation 2003 sets out targets for the recovery of materials from vehicles being scrapped and requires them to be de-polluted before this is undertaken - in other words, remove oils and toxic materials for recovery or safe disposal.rnAn 85 per cent reuse-and-recovery rate has been in place since January 2006, which will increase to 95 per cent by 2015. Vehicle manufacturers must also offer to pay all or a significant part of the costs of free take-back schemes.
