The panel will highlight how the automotive industry – particularly in the context of electric vehicles – plays a key role in establishing a functioning circular economy (CE). The focus is on legal frameworks such as the new EU End-of-Life Vehicles Directive (ELV), existing challenges such as illegal exports, and innovative approaches to reuse, remanufacturing and recycling. The discussion will focus on how OEMs, industry associations and recyclers can jointly take responsibility and generate competitive advantages through circular business models.
