The EU aims to boost circularity in the automotive sector with new rules on vehicle design and recycling. The proposal includes tarobtains for recycled plastic, stricter finish-of-life treatment and clearer export rules.
In early July, the Environment (Envi) and Internal Market (Imco) Committees of the European Parliament adopted their joint proposals for a new EU regulation covering the entire vehicle lifecycle—from design to finish-of-life treatment. The objective is to ensure that new vehicles are designed to support reapply, recycling and recovery from the outset.
In 2023, 14.8 million motor vehicles were manufactured in the EU, while 12.4 million vehicles were registered. There are 285.6 million motor vehicles on EU roads and every year around 6.5 million vehicles come to the finish of their lives.
