How Automotive Take-Back Programs Work
Onboard Dismantlers
Digital onboarding with SLA capture, certifications, and quality/fraction rules
Virtualize Inventory
Standardized visibility into dismantler inventory — fractions, quantities, quality bands
Dispatch & Route
Rule-based collection and multi-stop routing to recyclers, hubs, or refiners
Aggregate to Lots
AI-powered bundling of virtual inventories into contract-ready, specification-grade lots
Report & Comply
Chain-of-custody, recycling rates, CO₂ data, and ELV Directive compliance
EU ELV Compliance & Recycled Content Certification
As EU regulations mandate 95% recovery rates and minimum recycled content in new vehicles, OEMs need visibility into where their products go at end-of-life. ContainerGrid provides the digital infrastructure to connect OEMs with certified dismantler networks.
- Onboard dismantlers into a governed network
- Orchestrate logistics for ELV collection
- Aggregate materials to specification-grade standards
What's Recoverable
Every material stream tracked, quality-banded, and routed to certified processing.
