A Comparative Study of Vehicle Scrappage Policies and ELV Recycling Frameworks in India and Abroad

Author(s) Mr. Sushanta Kumar Mishra, Prof. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Varshney
Country India
Abstract Vehicle emissions pose a persistent threat to environmental sustainability and public health, prompting nations worldwide to adopt scrappage policies aimed at phasing out older, high-polluting vehicles. This study explores the evolution and global implementation of vehicle scrappage schemes, with a particular focus on End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) and their environmental impact. It traces the historical development of ELV recycling, from informal scrapyards to regulated dismantling centers, highlighting the shift toward circular economy principles.
This paper compares scrappage policies across major economies, including the USA, UK, Japan, Germany, China, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and India, examining incentives, regulatory frameworks, and recycling standards. It underscores India's 2021 Vehicle Scrappage Policy, which combines voluntary incentives and mandatory disincentives to promote sustainable vehicle disposal. The study also presents global statistics on vehicle scrappage rates, recycling efficiencies, and the most commonly scrapped car models.
By analyzing international best practices and regulatory innovations, the research advocates for a structured, environmentally responsible scrappage ecosystem in India. It concludes that effective policy implementation, infrastructure development, and public awareness are critical to achieving sustainable mobility and reducing vehicular pollution.
