New Regulations for Vehicle Recycling in the EU
August 13, 2026
Starting today, the European Commission is implementing new regulations for the design and processing of vehicles at the end of their lifecycle. The goal is to enhance recycling and reduce Europe's dependence on raw material imports. Manufacturers are required to ensure proper funding for vehicle management to achieve higher quality recycling. The new rules also restrict the export of used cars, ensuring that only suitable vehicles can be exported. This initiative aims to bolster the European industry and economic security.
