Fight waste and toxicity in vehicles: goals and requirements of the ELV directive
The ELV directive sets goals for reuse, recycling and recovery of ELVs and its components, but prohibits the use of dangerous substances in new vehicles. This includes limited metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chrome, with exceptions for cases in which there are no alternatives. The exceptions are listed in detail in Appendix II of the Directive.
Goals of the ELV directive:
- Limit and prevent the waste of ELVs and their components
- Improve environmental output in the life cycle of vehicles
Limited metals in accordance with the ELV directive:
- Lead: 0.1% (1000 ppm)
- Mercury: 0.1% (1000 ppm)
- Chroma VI: 0.1% (1000 ppm)
- Cadmium: 0.01% (100 ppm)
These limit values apply to homogeneous materials.
