Recovering and recycling materials from a used car

The European Parliament and the Council have stressed the need to reform legislation on the re-usability, recyclability and recoverability of vehicles and on end-of-life vehicles. Stricter recycling requirements call for more effective recovery and reuse of the various materials in cars.

This car glass project for Suomen Autokierrätys Oy and Uusioaines Oy investigated the recovery and recycling of end-of-life car glass materials, related dismantling methods and technologies, and business opportunities.
