As countries transition towards more sustainable transport systems, managing vehicles at the end of their life is becoming an increasingly important part of the circular economy and zero waste agenda. This webinar explored how effective vehicle lifecycle management can reduce pollution, recover valuable resources, strengthen resource security, and support climate action.
Experts from Japan, China, the Netherlands and Brazil shared national experiences on extended producer responsibility (EPR), vehicle recycling systems, EV battery management, circular design, policy development and implementation challenges. Together, the presentations highlighted practical approaches and lessons that can help countries build more circular and sustainable automotive value chains.
