Automotive Polymers within the European Union: Current Landscape Focused on ELV Regulation

Technical Talk. Navigating ELV, Recycled Content and Compliance Requirements for Automotive Polymers in Europe

The European automotive industry is undergoing significant change as sustainability, circularity, and regulatory compliance become increasingly important design and manufacturing drivers. This presentation provides an overview of the current landscape for automotive polymers within the EU, with a particular focus on the evolving End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Regulation and its implications for material selection, recycled content, substance management, and vehicle recyclability.

This Technical Talk will gain insight into the latest regulatory developments related to polymers, the challenges facing automotive manufacturers and suppliers, and the testing and analytical strategies needed to demonstrate compliance while supporting circular economy objectives. The session will highlight practical considerations for navigating changing requirements and maintaining confidence in polymer materials throughout the automotive value chain.
