The End of Life Vehicle regulations introduce new standards to ensure that when a vehicle is scrapped that as much of the material as possible is recovered and recycled and that it does not cause environmental pollution.

These Regulations place obligations on vehicle manufacturers and professional importers to establish a national collection system where vehicles of a producers brand can be deposited, free of charge, for the recovery and treatment of End of Life Vehicles. End of Life Vehicles are a passenger car or a light commercial van. Authorised Treatment Facilities have to be established in each local authority area that will take back vehicles.

Each producer is required to register with the Local Authority.

Cars can also be recycled through the ELVES network. ELVES is the compliance scheme for End-of-Life-Vehicles (ELVs) in Ireland. See www.elves.ie for details.
