The Impact of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs)
Every year, millions of vehicles reach the end of their life cycle, making a large scale waste management challenge. Older vehicles release dangerous fluids, oils, plastic, batteries and metals, which if handed over, air, water and soil are handled. End-off-Life vehicles also contribute significantly to Landfil Burden. Through the extended manufacturer responsibility (EPR), industries are now made mandatory to ensure that vehicles are removed and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner, converting waste into valuable resources.
This green shift highlights that EPR compliance in vehicle recycling not only protects the environment, but also helps businesses to embrace permanent practices, reduce risks and align India’s spherical economy with goals.
Why Vehicle Waste is an Environmental Threat
- Toxin leakage – coolant, brake oil, and lubricants contaminate soil and groundwater.
- Air pollution – Poisonous gases and heavy metals are released by illegal burning of vehicle parts.
- Plastic waste-bumpers, dashboards and internal non-biodigradebles contribute.
- Metal scrap and battery – poor disposal causes heavy metal contamination and fire hazards.
Key Benefits of EPR in Vehicle Recycling
Pollution Prevention & Risk Mitigation
- Ensures collection, dissolution and recycling through authorized features.
- Dumping, illegal scraping and unprotected disposal practices.
Resource Recovery & Circular Economy
- Extracts of valuable metals such as steel, aluminum and copper for re -use.
- Fixs plastic and rubber for alternative manufacturing.
- Reduces dependence on mining and crude oil imports.
Compliance & Cost Savings
- CPCB/SPCB is avoided for non-transportation.
- Reduces the disposal costs by changing scrap in beneficial raw materials.
Industrial & Environmental Growth
- Modern disintegration and encourages investment in credit plants.
- The ESG (environment, social, governance) of India strengthens the profile and global competition.
Future Outlook of Vehicle Recycling
- 2026–2027 – Emergence of authorized vehicle scraping facilities in major cities.
- 2028–2030-The large-scale recovery of plastic and plastic re-shapes the auto supply chain.
- Beyond 2030 – India emerges as a center for permanent vehicle recycling and green automotive exports.
