To assess how to increase scrap-based steel use in the automotive industry under the proposed ELV regulation, T&E commissioned Oeko-Institut to conduct a dedicated feasibility study on steel recycled targets. Oeko-Institut was chosen as they had already carried out a study to support the impact assessment for the review of Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles in 2023. This briefing outlines the key findings from the study. It shows that setting steel recycled content targets (30% in 2030 and 40% in 2035) and recycled steel quality requirements are technically and economically feasible.
