- This paper addresses the challenges facing the automotive and recycling sectors in meeting the European End-of-life vehicle Directive. It describes a novel post-shredder thermal treatment to reduce millions of tonnes of waste entering landfill. The research is part of a collaboration between the university and the recycling industry and has resulted in the building of a joint £750k pyrolysis research facility funded by Recycling Lives Limited and UCLan. Work is progressing to upscale the process for commercial operations. This is developing broader interest within the waste industry and has led to the award of an Innovate UK KTP.
