The Wales Environment Trust is currently engaged in devising a holistic solution to the ELV Directive in conjunction with a number of stakeholder businesses. In order to support this initiative, independent action has and will be implemented to process component waste streams to meet the commitments of the Directive.
Currently Wales Environment Trust is in the process of delivering action to reprocessing waste tyres and automotive rubber and lead-acid batteries. Future activity will engage automotive glass and plastics.
Waste oil from nearly 3 million car oil changes in Britain is not collected. If collected properly, this could meet the annual energy needs of 1.5 million people. (Scottish Oil Care Campaign)
