The End-of-Life Vehicle Directive (or ELV Directive 200/53/CE) requires that the vehicle manufacturers be responsible for taking back and scrapping cars in the future. Directive specifies that 95% of the vehicle weight must be reused by 2015.
This is a major stake for iNoPLAST. It concerns our capacity to meet, starting from design, the criteria required for dismantability and recyclability of the functions.
The company MCR, an iNoPLAST subsidiary based in Tournon (Ardeche), has developed a recycling process for the composites materials. Process consists in shredding and then micronizing the materials coming from the products rejects or the End-of-Life-Vehicles.
This workshop, which is unique in Europe, has a capacity of 3,000 Tons a year, allowing the production of fragments, glass fibers or powders:

This workshop, which is unique in Europe, has a capacity of 3,000 Tons a year, allowing the production of fragments, glass fibers or powders:
- Fragments are re-introduced into the cement works kilns, and thus the mineral share, 70% of the material, is recycled in cements and replaces products from the natural deposits.
- Glass fibers are re-introduced into concretes and thus give them mechanical and anti-cracking properties. They replace fibers coming from the oil industry.
- Powders are directly re-introduced into the manufacturing processes of SMC/AMC or thermoplastics in replacement of the natural mineral reinforcements.
