New China Regulations Looks at ELV

New rule will make domestic auto manufacturers responsible for collecting, recycling vehicles.

Published February 16, 2006

A regulation recently issued by the China State Environmental Protection Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission is mandating that Chinese automakers and importers of vehicles will be the parties responsible for collecting and recycling the autos starting in 2010. If they opt not to do the actually recycling they will be charged with finding a designated party to perform the process.

 

The goal of the new regulation is to boost the use of more recyclable and environmentally friendly vehicles in the Chinese auto industry.

 

According to the rule, Chinese automakers are asked to stop using materials that emit poisonous gas and pose harm to the environment while materials which are difficult to recycle and are not environmental friendly including mercury and lead, will be banned from being used in manufacturing. The recoverability rate of each car produced in China or imported should reach at least 80 percent while no less than 75 percent of materials should be reused.

 

From 2017, the recycling standard will eventually rise to 95 percent and 85 percent separately.
