What this bill does

In plain terms: what it changes and who it affects.

This proposal makes vehicle design, recycling, reuse, and export rules more circular and stricter across the EU.

Who it affects

It affects vehicle manufacturers, importers, owners, dismantlers, recyclers, repair businesses, used-vehicle exporters, and buyers of used spare parts. It mainly concerns cars and vans, with some rules for motorcycles, lorries, buses, and trailers.

Core of the proposal
  • Requires vehicle types to meet reuse, recyclability, recoverability, recycled-plastic, and hazardous-substance limits.
  • Creates producer responsibility schemes to fund collection and treatment of end-of-life vehicles.
  • Requires authorised treatment, depollution, parts removal, reuse checks, and recycling targets for end-of-life vehicles.
  • Restricts used-vehicle exports to vehicles that are not end-of-life and are roadworthy.
