  • The Directive on End-of Life Vehicle is the first EU waste directive with which the EU Commission introduced the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility.

  • The directive aims at reduction of waste arising from end-of-life vehicles.

  • The scope of the directive is limited to passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

  • The directive covers aspects along the life cycle of a vehicle as well as aspects related to treatment operations.

As such it aims at: ​​
  • preventing the use of certain heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, mercury and hexavalent chromium,
  • collection of vehicles at suitable treatment facilities,
  • de-pollution of fluids and specific components,
  • coding and/or information on parts and components
  • ensuring information for consumers and treatment organizations
  • achieving reuse, recycling and recovery performance targets

With these targets set, the directive involves four major stakeholders, the producer, the recycling industry, the last holder and the authorities. Each has a responsibility within the realms of its unique possibility.

  • Get full intrinsic value by sorting the sellable components of Twitch and Zorba into their most valuable and marketable alloys.
  • Don’t give away margin when sorting can be done for a few cents per lb; and your total value of sold goods increases several to 10 times that much.
  • Deliver a Preferred Product to your key clients, thus insuring a viable market during good times and bad.
  • Reduce your tonnage of landfill or incinerator material by recycling the valuable plastics and polymers found in the typical waste stream.
​Product:
  • Produce low Mg, high Si, Cast Al product for secondary smelters.

  • Produce pure Mg for Mg and Al secondary smelters at a premium.

  • Produce low-alloy Wrought Al product for 3XXX and 6XXX series secondary smelters.

  • Sort your heavies to produce alloy classes for your clients—as melt product directly or melt correction material.

  • Prepare long term contracts to produce near melt-specific alloy lots for key secondary smelters in your region.

  • Attain full intrinsic value from your Zurik…extract and sort the PCB, SS, Al, Cu and Cu wires, plastics, etc.

  • Extract and sort the high value Black Plastics by specific polymer type from your Fluff. ​

















​Sorting Example
  • Sorting of non-ferrous metals by

  • Sorting 5000 and 6000 Series

  • Separation of unwanted copper, brass, lead, stainless steel, carbon steel, zinc etc. by

  • Sorting of Aluminium based on Cu-, Zn- and Fe-content Al alloy 6061 by

  • Sorting of heavy metals creating pure fraction of copper, zinc, brass, stainless steel etc. by
  • Sorting Capacity up to 5 t/h


​Key for Success
  • Our sorting technology improves your process!

  • If you’re looking to extract and purify metals and plastics from waste and recycling streams, you’re in the right place.

  • If you consume scrap metal or polymers, and your goal is melt specific feedstock, you’re in the right place.
