An article from June 6, 2015 on letsrecycle.com titled ‘ELV recycling rate nears 89%’ the following information was presented: “With a legal target of 95% reuse/recycling/recovery in 2015 the UK is still some way short of the goal. However, developments in the use of shredder residue & more energy recovery are expected to see the UK meet the target. The number of vehicles counted in the data was down by almost 14,000 in 2013 at 1,149,459 when compared to the 2012 figure of 1,163,123. According to the data, most aspects of the process were relatively similar year on year. However, there was an increase in the reuse of materials from the car dismantling process and depollution.
One problem area highlighted by BIS is that of fluids: The Department explains there are difficulties here, both related to when the vehicle was actually received, when depollution occurs, storage of fluids which may be in large or small containers, and subsequent collection of the fluids for treatment by recycling companies. Reporting periods are frequently crossed, and with significant numbers of ATFs only handling quite limited numbers of vehicles in the UK, it can be a years before it is economic for fluids to be collected meaning that fluids recycling can appear to be zero one year and unfeasibly high the next.
The EU considers introducing a protocol weight amount for fluids to resolve data issues, as already happens with fuels. The metal content of cars – ferrous and non-ferrous – in the UK have been based on research work by the metals recycling sector with the support of BIS resulting in a 75% metal content. More metal is being collected from the shredder process & the overall metals figure has been increased to show this.
Shredders have installed new equipment & technology which improves the metallic gain. Since the nature of these shredder investments is commercially sensitive, detailed supporting information is not provided here, but the overall metallic recovery figure shows a small increase beyond that of the shredder trial to reflect these increased efficiencies.
Making the 95% rate will be very challenging in many ways. Much will depend on the work of the shredders and we support their continuing investment in their processing and other technologies.” The full article is available here: http://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/elv-recycling-rate-nears-89/
