• Resumen

  • The role of Authorized Treatment Facilities (ATFs) for end-of-life (EOL) vehicles within the recycling chain is to take charge of decontaminating and disassembling EOL vehicles, thus enabling the reuse, recycling or recuperation of substances and components of said vehicles. The intervention of ATFs is crucial to the reuse, recycling and recuperation goals set for EOL vehicles by the Royal Decree 1383/2002 (which transposes European Directive 2000/53 EC into Spanish Law). The time frame for the achievement of said goals comprised two phases. The initial phase started in 2006, whilst the second will begin in 2015.

    The analysis of ATF waste generation data in the province of Castellón (Spain) for the year 2008 is taken as a reference to verify compliance with current environmental goals. Said analysis is used to propose operational strategies to help ATFs meet the forthcoming environmental goals set by the Royal Decree 1383/2002 for the year 2015.
