Realised performance
Key data
Orchestrated by ARN, the chain dismantled no fewer than 178,136 end-of-life vehicles in 2021. Together, we managed to gainfully reuse 98.7 per cent of their total weight. Car-dismantling companies accounted for 23.7 per cent, with the shredder and post-shredder companies accounting for 75 per cent.
At ARN, it’s all about the responsible and high-value recycling of end-of-life vehicles. As an implementing organisation, we facilitate the complete car-recycling chain: from the collection of end-of-life vehicles to be dismantled, right up to the gainful reuse of the seemingly most insignificant parts and raw materials recovered from them.
We finance our recycling activities for end-of-life vehicles from the recycling-fee fund, which is collected through Stichting Auto Recycling Auto.
We finance our battery-recycling activities from the battery-management fee fund, which is collected through Stichting Autobatterij Recycling.
