ACICAE, together with our partner FEV Consulting, part of FEV Group, an expert in engineering, innovation and solutions for the automotive sector, would like to invite you to participate in the Workshop ‘Recycled Plastics in Automotive: Impact of the new ELV regulation’, which will take place on Wednesday, May, 14th from 10.00h to 11:30h at AIC – Automotive Intelligence Center (Amorebieta-Etxano).
As you know, the European Commission has proposed a key update to the End of Life Vehicles (ELV) regulation, introducing minimum recycled plastic content requirements and new recycling rates. This measure will transform the automotive value chain, impacting everything from design to production and end-of-life vehicles.
During this day we will discuss this regulatory change in depth and FEV Consulting will examine the evolution of the use of plastics in automotive, from its current status to future trends, including the latest discussions in the EU.
PROGRAM:
The focus will be on two key pillars: design from recycling and design for recycling, essential elements to meet the sector’s new sustainability targets. The thematic blocks of the conference will be as follows:
- BLOCK I: New ELV legislation and its evolution:
- Main provisions of the European Commission’s proposal
- Current position of EU bodies
- Key dates: vote and possible entry into force
- BLOCK II: Plastics in the automotive industry today:
