Policies and perspective on end-of-life vehicles in China

In recent years, Chinaʹs end-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling industry has kept abreast with the rapidly developing automotive industry, and the laws and regulations are continuously being improved. However, no existing literature systematically introduces and analyzes such ELV policies. This paper classified such policies and regulations, which can be used to analyze Chinaʹs ELV recycling industry to facilitate its development. The study referred to the experience of ELV laws and EPR (extended producer responsibility) implementation of the developed countries, and proposed strategies and perspectives to Chinese government to improve the policies and regulations for Chinaʹs ELV recycling industry.
