The End of Life Vehicles Directive is a Directive of the European Union addressing the end of life for automotive products. Every year, motor vehicles which have reached the end of their useful lives create between 8 and 9 million tonnes of waste in the European Union. In 1997, the European Commission adopted a Proposal for a Directive to tackle this problem. ==Legal background== The (Directive on End-of Life Vehicle 2000/53/EC ) is the first EU waste directive with which the EU Commission has introduced the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility. The directive aims at reduction of waste arising from end-of-life vehicles. The scope of the directive is limited to passenger cars M1 and light commercial vehicles N1. The directive covers aspects along the life cycle of a vehicle as well as aspects related to treatment operations. As such it aims at: * preventing the use of certain heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, mercury and hexavalent chromium, * collection of vehicles at suitable treatment facilities, * de-pollution of fluids and specific components, * coding and/or information on parts and components * ensuring information for consumers and treatment organizations * achieving reuse, recycling and recovery performance targets With these targets set, the directive involves four major stakeholders, the producer, the recycling industry, the last holder and the authorities. Each has a responsibility within the realms of its unique possibility. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「End of Life Vehicles Directive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
