InterCar operates a network of authorised treatment facilities across Europe, ensuring every end-of-life vehicle is processed in full compliance with EU Directive 2000/53/EC and national regulations. Our certified recycling process achieves up to 95% material recovery through systematic depollution, dismantling, and material separation. Each authorised treatment facility in our network undergoes regular auditing by national environmental agencies and independent certification bodies, verifying compliance with waste management regulations, hazardous substance handling protocols, and material recovery targets. Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art depollution rigs, parts cataloguing systems, and material sorting technology that maximises the value recovered from every vehicle. The depollution phase alone involves the safe extraction and containment of engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, windscreen wash, fuel, air conditioning refrigerant, and any other fluids — all of which are processed through licensed waste streams for recycling or safe disposal. Pyrotechnic devices such as airbags and seatbelt pretensioners are deployed or removed by trained specialists before dismantling begins.
