The British Metals Recycling Association has welcomed the United Kingdom’s announcement that it has extended its auto scrap scheme by £100 million.
BMRA director general Ian Hetherington said: "The BMRA is pleased that the government has extended the scrappage scheme. So far, it has helped to bring increased capacity into the industry at a time of otherwise reduced volumes for metal recyclers and is good for business.
"The scrappage scheme has real environmental and economic benefits: some BMRA members are achieving material recovery rates in excess of 85 percent on ELVs and the materials are being re-used."
Only metal recyclers with Authorized Treatment Facility status can accept End of Life Vehicles.
