Over the last few months we have been growing our Network of ATFs, our latest members being West Cork 4x4, DC Autospares and Greener Metal Recycling. It’s great to have them on board.
Before receiving our approval ELVES was busy looking at what happens to a vehicle when it is recycled in Ireland. We undertook a trial involving the recycling of 201 scrap cars and small vans. The trial looked at the recycling process, focusing on the metal that is recycled from a end-of-life vehicle.
You can read the results of the trial here in our report.
Recycling and Recovery of End-of-Life Vehicles in Ireland
Video may have killed the radio star, but the new ELVES radio advert may just bring it back to life. Playing on programmes like Moncreiffe and Off the Ball since the start of July, the adverts are part of the ELVES advertising campaign to improve awareness of the way to scrap a vehicle and promote the ATFs in our network.

New ELVES Signage was recently unveiled at the Mondello Park International Race Circuit in Kildare. The new signage is the first time the ELVES brand has been seen in a public place and is the start of a wide range of activities to promote ELVES and responsible End-of-Life Vehicle recycling. ELVES plans to be out and about in the summer at events like Mondello Park raising awareness about car recycling and the right way to do it.
