ETRMA welcomes European Parliament’s approach on End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation
On 10 September 2025, the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers Association (ETRMA) issued a statement welcoming the European Parliament’s adoption of the End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation (ELVR). The association underlined that this step brings greater regulatory clarity to the circular economy framework in Europe.
Of particular importance to the tyre sector is the Parliament’s recognition of the need to avoid double regulation on recycled content requirements for elastomers and steel. These aspects are already being addressed through tyre-specific measures under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which ETRMA considers the most effective route for achieving circularity ambitions in the industry.
Adam McCarthy, ETRMA Secretary General, commented: “The approach taken by the Parliament strengthens regulatory coherence, shielding operators from unnecessary regulatory overlap. We anticipate that the forthcoming trilogue discussions will preserve this sensible trajectory, and we will continue to work under ESPR to address the circularity ambition of the European tyre industry.”
