Globally, the utilization of automotive recycled material resources has 

attracted widespread attention. The European Union, as a developed region

 in the automobile industry, has taken solid steps in this regard.

Recently, the European Commission has released a series of regulatory

 proposals on end-of-life vehicles and automotive power batteries, which 

put forward clear requirements on the environmental, economic and social

 responsibility of the whole life cycle of automotive products.On July 13, 2023, 

the European Commission released a regulatory proposal on End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs). 

The new proposal suggests that by 2030, new cars should contain at least 25% recycled

 plastic, of which 6.25% comes from recycled end-of-life vehicles. International 

developments show that the strategy of vapor in recycled material resources 

has become an important means to enhance the international competitiveness 

of the automotive industry.

The current situation of China's automotive recycled materials

1.1 Recycling rate of waste plastics needs to be improved urgently

The recycling of end-of-life automobiles in China is not satisfactory. Due 

to the imperfect recycling network, low recycling price and insufficient 

knowledge of vehicle owners about the end-of-life process, some of the 

end-of-life cars fail to enter the formal recycling channels, but are lost in 

the market, illegally dismantled or used in illegal ways, which not only causes 

serious environmental pollution, but also wastes the valuable renewable resources.

Plastic parts in waste cars, such as bumpers and headlights, are diverse and often 

mixed, bringing great challenges to classification and recycling. Coupled with the

 low density of plastics and high processing costs, this has led to a generally 

low recycling rate of plastic parts, and there is an urgent need to improve the 

recycling process and enhance recycling technology to increase the recycling 

rate of waste plastics.

1.2 Construction of recycling system and quality standard for waste plastics

Currently, the recycling system of waste plastics in China is still unstable and lacks 

unified quality standards. The concentration of plastic recycling of end-of-life 

automobiles is not high, and the capacity of dismantling and classifying recycling

 is limited, which makes it difficult for plastic recycling enterprises to obtain stable 

and high-quality raw materials. At the same time, there is an information asymmetry

 problem in the recycling system, which leads to poor resource docking and reduces

 the operational efficiency of the industry chain. In addition, the standards, regulations

 and certification traceability system for the application of recycled plastics in the 

automotive field are not yet perfect, making it difficult to meet the high-performance 

requirements of the automotive industry for recycled plastics.

1.3 Proportion and scope of recycled materials used in automobile production

Compared with developed countries, the proportion of recycled materials used in 

China's automobile production is obviously low. Some international famous automobile

 manufacturers have widely used recycled materials, and even in some high-end models, 

the proportion of recycled materials used is quite high. However, in China, because the

 quality and performance stability of recycled materials have not been fully verified, 

automobile manufacturers are cautious about its application. At present, only a few 

enterprises have started to try to adopt recycled plastic products, and they are mainly 

applied to non-critical components. This limitation in the scope of application affects 

the speed of promotion of recycled materials and the realization of their potential in 

automobile production.

Dongguan Wonderful Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. has a mature recycled 

plastics separation line, capable of separating from sedimentation to electrostatic 

separation equipment, the purity of the main material is more than 98%.
