End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) recycling consists of an interesting series of steps. The logistics of these old vehicles can be challenging as these vehicles often are broken. The de-pollution of the cars consists of taking out the fluids (petrol, oils, de-frost fluids) as well as some interesting fractions that have either hazardous characteristics or value (such as the catalytic converter). A shredding or a cutting process follows after which the ferrous metals are separated.
Post-Shredder technology separates the non-ferrous metals as well as plastics and minerals.
METFER Trading company acquired the permission to process End-of-Life Vehicles in 2011 (Decision of the Plzeň Regional Authority, no ŽP/6470/11) and is equipped for processing ELV’s, both cars and trucks.
Furthernore METFER Plzeň issues the necessary Confirmation of car wreck acceptance – necessary for deregistering the vehicle at the Municipal Authority (RTI).
