【NOTICE】

The 20th「 International Conference on Automobile Recycling (IARC) 2021」 will be held June 23-25 in Geneva, Switzerland. The meeting will be held using the Onsite & Virtual method. (The photo shows the state when the last IARC was held)

This is the 20th time, and it will be a more important year for the automobile recycling business for the following three reasons. 

First, the complete recast of the EU End-of-Life Vehicles Directive which might have a serious impact on car & parts manufacturers and on the whole car dismantling & recycling industry, and its possible extension to other mobility sectors such as motorbikes, trucks & buses.

Second, the EU plans to ban the export of certain recycled materials as part of the EU Green Deal and Circular Economy Package. This might also have a huge impact on the global sustainable recycling industry.

Third, the accelerating uptake of electro-mobility will have an impact on the recycling trade as pressure builds for necessary investments in new dismantling & shredding techniques and for education of the increasing numbers of actors handling these new technologies. 

Topics:

・Keynote speeches: Swiss EPA, EU Commission, car manufacturers, metal recyclers and recycling companies.
・New legislative requirements having an impact on several industries: automotive, collection organizations, transporters, dismantlers, recyclers.
・New automotive technologies and impact on recycling: electric & electronic components.
・Vehicle evolution in the market with electrification.
・Focus on materials:  plastics, secondary raw materials, hazardous materials.
