Title: End of Life Vehicle Solutions


1
End of Life Vehicle Solutions
  • State Implementation Meetings

2
End of Life Vehicle Solutions
  • ELVS was created by the automotive industry in
    2005 to promote the industrys environmental
    efforts in recyclability, education and outreach,
    and the proper management of substances of
    concern.
  • "Participating Members" of ELVS are BMW,
    DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors,
    International Truck Engine, Mack Trucks,
    Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Toyota,
    Volkswagen, and Volvo Trucks.

End of Life Vehicle Solutions
  • ELVS manages programs to collect, transport, and
    retort/recycle elemental mercury from automotive
    switches.
  • ELVS has contracted with The Environmental
    Quality Company (EQ), an environmental services
    company with nationwide capabilities and 50 years
    of experience.

4
End of Life Vehicle Solutions
  • The auto industry has worked with many
    stakeholders to develop and provide educational
    material on end of life Hg auto switch removal.
    ELVS is continuing these efforts.
  • ELVS provides educational materials including
    removal brochures, a DVD, and website information
    on location and switch removal.

5
National Vehicle Mercury Switch Recovery Program
(NVMSRP)
  • On August 18, 2006 the U.S. EPA, auto industry,
    steel industry, vehicle dismantlers, vehicle
    shredders, states, and the environmental
    community signed a shared responsibility
    agreement to collect and recycle mercury switches
    from end-of-life vehicles.

6
What is the difference between ELVS and the
NVMSRP?
  • The NVMSRP is a voluntary multi-stakeholder,
    shared responsibility mercury switch collection
    program.
  • ELVS is a signatory to the NVMSRP and has primary
    responsibility for education, collection
    materials, transportation, recycling, and record
    keeping.
  • ECOS, ISRI, ARA, EPA, Steel, and NGOs make up the
    remainder of the NVMSRP partners and all have
    defined roles and responsibilities.
  • Some states also have legislated requirements for
    some signatories and in some cases these may be
    identical to the responsibilities under the
    NVMSRP

7
NVMSRP Statement of Principles
  • Automakers provide educational material,
    collection containers, shipping, recycling of the
    switches, and tracking/reporting.
  • Auto dismantlers remove the switches and submit
    them to the program for proper management.
  • Steelmakers implement supply chain mechanisms to
    promote participation in the program.
  • All parties endorse the program and encourage
    participation.
  • The EPA considers the NVMSRP when developing area
    source regulation for Electric Arc Furnaces and
    assists with grants, communication, and
    evaluation.

8
NVMSRP Goals
  • Aggressive mercury recovery goals and performance
    metrics have been established. Performance will
    be regularly assessed by the participants.
  • Nationwide implementation is targeted to occur
    over 12 months. (complete by Sept 2007)
  • In each state the parties will work
    collaboratively on an implementation plan.
  • The NVMSRP will sunset in 2017 based on estimates
    that 90 of the auto mercury switches will be
    retired.

9
NVMSRP Incentive Fund
  • 4 Million early incentive reward of 1 per
    switch for the first 3 years of program.
  • No program costs are paid from this fund-only
    incentives
  • Available to all states regardless of legislation
    unless have an existing cash incentive
  • Payments began in Feb, 2007 retroactive to 9/12
  • Incentives considered income-requires W9 from
    dismantlers and 1099 reporting

10
How the Hg Collection Program Works
  • ELVS and other NVMSRP partners meet with state
    (DEQ, DNR, EPA, etc.) and interested parties to
    discuss a kick-off plan
  • Discuss any unique rules/regulations/definitions
  • Discuss how to identify recyclers within the
    state
  • Encourage the state to create a introductory
    letter and self-selection method for recyclers

11
How the Hg Collection Program Works
  • Send out the collection material
  • Dismantlers remove the switch(es) and/or
    assemblies and place them in the provided bucket.
  • Just before a bucket is completely full,
    dismantlers contact EQ to receive a replacement
    bucket.
  • Once a bucket is full, dismantler can contact UPS
    for a pickup a prepaid UPS label will be sent
    with every bucket.

12
How the Hg Collection Program Works
  • Filled buckets returned to EQ in Romulus, MI
  • EQ will then dispose of the mercury through
    recycling/retorting. (Bethlehem, Mercury Waste
    Solutions-WI, Veoila-WI, AERC-PA)
  • EQ also tracks participation and mercury
    collection progress may take 12-18 months to see
    returns
  • Some dismantlers may process very few vehicles
    with switches must not jump to conclusions about
    returns
