Disposal of vehicles at end of product life is recognised as a critical factor in the motor industry. Concern is increasing on account of growing public awareness of environmental issues, often articulated within legislation, and difficulties in the existing disposal industry due to rising plastics content in vehicles. CEST has facilitated a series of discussions between the industrial and other interests in the area, and has published its conclusions in a report. This paper describes the methodology which has been applied, which draws heavily on the existing and ongoing activities and current thinking within the industry. It then describes the recommendations resulting from the consultative process, and the actions taken to implement those recommendations.
