In Germany over 12 million t of non-recyclable materials from vehicles according to current estimations. Only the scrap stream of old vehicles is used containing 75% of the total weight. The majority of plastics, textiles, glass and nonmetal portions however goes into the shredder process and is as auto shredder residue ASR (light fluff and heavy fraction) to a large extent dumped untreated on a land filling station. With the EU council directive of ELV (end of life vehicle) vehicles came into force also new demands for the recycling of passenger cars came out. Starting form 1.1.2006 at least 85% of an old vehicle needs to be recovered, at least 80% of it recycled in accordance with the European Union directive. However raw materials and energy in the ASR are to be recycled after the new legislation framework. It postulates the reuse of materials and energy. On 1 July 2002 the law of end of life vehicle (ELV) took effect in Germany. It was converted in German legal framework, which calls for more implications regarding the processing of the ELV. Especially for the manufacturers the convertion of the guidelines is a big challenge, so far the automobile companies and importers have to finance the waste management because of the producer responsibility. They must guarantee together with the other stakeholders high recovering ratios. A non-profit donation fund as financial base to deal with problematic residues of automobile recycling/ reprocessing is recommended to create.
