END-OF-LIVE VEHICLES

Our Commitment


At BYD, we are fully committed to the environmental management of our vehicles. In the design and development phase, we take into account criteria such as durability, repairability and sustainability to ensure high levels of recycling and reuse at the end of life.

In accordance with state regulations, BYD Ireland is fully compliant & registered with the ELV Environmental Services CLG. ELVES is the compliance scheme for End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) in Ireland. ELVES received approval to operate as the compliance scheme for the vehicle sector from the Minister for Climate Action, Communications and Environment from the 1 January 2017. 

How it works 


The ELVES Network of recycling facilities consists of over 60 Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) all around the country. These permitted scrapyards will take back your old car for free (you may even receive money for it), will issue you with a Certificate of Destruction, ending your responsibility and will then recycle your vehicle. 

Over 75% of Certificates of Destruction issued in Ireland are done so though ATFs in the ELVES Network.
