Civil society and industry demand measures to boost the use of recycled steel in the automotive sector
The European automotive sector is at a critical turning point. As the EU revises vehicle circularity legislation, civil society organisations, think thanks and recycling industries urge the European Parliament and the Council to adopt stronger targets for recycled steel in automotive production.
In July 2023, the European Commission adopted its proposal to revise and merge the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive and the 3R Type-Approval Directive into a single Regulation on Circularity Requirements for Vehicle Design and on Management of End-of-Life Vehicles.
The proposal aims to strengthen the EU single market while improving the circularity of the sector and reducing the environmental impacts associated with the design, production, use, and end-of-life treatment of vehicles.
With this joint statement, the signatories call for strong measures to increase the uptake of recycled steel in the automotive sector.
