LKM's view

"I’ve spent my whole working life in the scrap and recycling business and it has been a fascinating ride,” said LKM’s Gary Eastwood. “But ELV will prove to be the moment our industry comes of age and starts to be respected for what it can deliver – it’s the moment when Cinderella goes to the ball.”

LKM has doubled its Sittingbourne site and invested in new plant and working and administration methods, including the demanding ISO 9001 quality management status.

“Legislation has placed enormous pressures upon car manufacturers to recycle vehicles that were built even before current recycling processes and good practice could be designed into them, but this has created a challenge for the recycling industry and ELV is what companies like LKM have been waiting for.

We have the plant, management mechanisms and expertise in place to effectively process the vehicles and maximise recovery rates for everything from the obvious – ferrous and non-ferrous metals – right through to plastics, tyres and other materials that used to go to landfill.

These are exciting times.”
