ACORD current achievement 1,000 tpa
ACORD 104kg per car 2m Elvs 208,000 tpa
Bumpers, Avg 7kg per car 2m Elvs 14,000 tpa
7kg per car = 0.67% toward ELV target(Based on ACORD report 2000, Average vehicle weight of 1030 kg).

Conclusions
Waste streams need to be seen holistically not sector by sector
Reclaiming Plastics from ELVs fraught with issues short term
Volumes produced from dismantlers is low and expensive
Volumes will come from Post Shredder Separation
When, What quality, What Value
Against the odds, were trying to make it work
The E word needs to be considered
