Located in Main Expo Hall 3.0

The European Union has reached a final deal on the End-of-Life Regulation. From the change of legal instrument (directive into a regulation) to a Regulation that looks at the entire lifecycle of vehicles from design to end-of-life including recycled content targets for plastics and must stricter treatment and enforcement requirements, the new text promises multiple changes. Carmakers, car-users, car dismantlers, car recyclers and competent authorities will all together have their part to play to transform an ambitious piece of legislation into an industrial reality that functions, at a time where the European automotive industry is challenged by fierce international competition. Eager to learn more, come and join the debate with specialists that will shed some light on what’s next to stay ahead of the curve.
