The EU has passed new circularity rules for the automotive sector, focusing on design, reuse, and recycling to reduce environmental impact and strengthen sustainability. Key points include targets for recycled materials in new vehicles, enhanced producer responsibility for end-of-life vehicles, and stricter regulations on export of used vehicles. The aim is to promote resource security, environmental protection, and sustainability in the industry, while ensuring fair competition. Negotiations between the Council and Parliament are expected to proceed promptly, building on the EU's circular economy goals.
