Cercarbono invites you to comment on Cercarbono’s CM-WM-ELV-01Methodology:  “Recovery and Recycling of materials from End-of-Life Vehicles”, which establishes the criteria for quantifying greenhouse-gas emission reductions achieved through the recovery and recycling of post-consumer materials thereof in formal sector facilities. This version for public consultation, reviewed by independent experts, aligns with Cercarbono’s high-integrity requirements as per its regulatory framework.


At a glance

  • Scope: Post-consumer ELV materials only.

  • Eligible materials:Metals, plastics, and glass—recovered as secondary raw materials that match virgin quality.

  • Additionality & accounting: Projects must comply with Cercarbono’s additionality guidelines; emission reductions = baseline (virgin raw materials-based production) – project (recycled materials-based production).

  • Monitoring: Processed materials amount, energy use, product quality/prices, recycling activity penetration and rate, and ELV import data to prevent double counting and greenwashing.

  • Compliance & safeguards: projects follow all legal, environmental, labour, health and safety rules, apply Cercarbono Safeguarding Principles and report Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) contributions via the SDGtool.

  • Innovation: methodology encourages technologies that raise recovery rates and cut the environmental impact of ELV disposal.
