Our
activities
ARN’s core activity is the implementation of the legal requirements stipulated in the end-of-life vehicles management decree and the battery management decree. This is done on behalf of importers that bear the responsibility as producers and are affiliated with ARN.

Research and innovation
When it comes to car recycling, ARN is a firm proponent of research and innovation. Which new products can be made from waste materials, for example? What about our carbon footprint, and how can our recycling processes be made even more sustainable? Read more about research into car recycling.
Quality assurance and monitoring
Car recycling also relies on quality assurance, which can be underpinned by monitoring the relevant links and processes. Which processes can we improve, for example? And are the separated materials of a high-enough quality to make new products? Read more about how, in cooperation with our partners, ARN is optimising recycling processes.
National recycling network
The national recycling network, with ARN at its heart, comprises some 300 companies. It consists of dismantling companies, shredding companies, recycling companies and other types of processing companies. Click here for a list of all participating companies.
