End-of-life vehicles largely consist of recyclable materials, from tyres and batteries to the dashboard and the chassis. However, they also contain a range of hazardous substances. This makes recycling end-of-life vehicles a highly complex and involved process. You can rely here on the professional experience and specialist recycling knowledge of our experts.
Professional recycling solutions
Recovering high-quality spares and resources from end-of-life vehicles
Germany’s End-of-life Vehicle Ordinance requires manufacturers and importers to take back end-of-life vehicles. Old, defective, unroadworthy and accident-damaged vehicles are therefore brought to collection points. From there, they go to our facilities for dismantling and recycling.
Our mechanised vehicle recycling systems (VRS) perform the complicated task of removing parts that are still serviceable and marketable, such as doors, trim and also the entire engine and transmission. In this way, we can quickly and efficiently remove the materials for recycling in large volumes while safeguarding quality. At all times, we take great care to ensure that any liquids remaining in a vehicle that represent a health or environment hazard, such as mercury, coolant and fuel, are properly removed and disposed of.
Once all other materials have been removed, the remaining shell is reduced to fist-sized lumps of metal in a modern industrial shredder. The metal is then sent for recycling.
With our professional expertise and state-of-the-art technology, we are able to guarantee reliable processing of end-of-life vehicles, from collection and appraisal to dismantling and recycling.
