With the EU’s ELV Regulation progressing, FEAD argues EPR schemes must move beyond producer-led decision-making. Shared governance, observer seats or regulated independent oversight could improve transparency, trust and environmental performance across Europe’s recycling chain.
India’s ELV volumes are climbing quickly, but authorised testing and scrappage infrastructure is still uneven and often underutilised. A new report outlines the capacity and data challenges—and why EPR incentives and enforcement will be critical to shift vehicles from informal channels into formal recycling.
End-of-life EVs are already part of day-to-day recycling, but volumes remain uneven. The industry challenge is practical: how to prepare people, processes and downstream outlets for high-voltage vehicles while protecting safety and revenue.
