Last week, EuRIC had an insightful site visit at the Belgian Scrap Terminal - BST facility in Willebroek with ENVI rapporteur for the EU Vehicles Regulation, Jens Gieseke (#EPP)🚗♻️ BST showcased how end-of-life vehicles (#ELVs) can be recycled into valuable resources through advanced technologies like magnetic sorting, optical sorting, dry separation, and AI ♻️ Denuo and EuRIC highlighted key aspects for #recyclers under the EU Vehicle Regulation: 1️⃣ Investment stability – Robust recycled content obligations for plastics and other streams 2️⃣ Technology-neutral, market-based recycling criteria – No blanket ban on mixing shredder fractions, practical dismantling rules, and market-driven post-shredding technology requirements 3️⃣ Better traceability & collection – Ensuring authorised operators in the EU are handling ELVs with improved traceability 4️⃣ Fair competition in EPR schemes – Guaranteeing fair ownership of materials in reuse and recycling markets Great discussions on how we can improve the recycling landscape and drive innovation for a circular economy♻️ A heartfelt thank you to CAROLINE CRAENHALS and Vincent Quidousse for hosting us 🙏
