Abstract: This paper was based on the findings of a study aimed at identifying and evaluating appropriate investment strategies in the area of end of life vehicle management (ELVM), especially against the emerging policy framework, as outlined by the recent EU legislation (2000/53 EG directive). The study was carried out for OMPM SA (Organisation for the Management of Public Material), a Greek organization, with many years' involvement in the management of ELVs. The departure point of the work was the critical review of available best practices, mostly compiled by means of a considerable number of on the spot visits to diverse ELVM processing facilities in the Northern EU. These experiences and practices were critically adapted to the very different local circumstances, characterized by an underdeveloped market and a low operational sophistication. In this way, the recommendations of the study, also reported in this work, are of a wider relevance to areas where the main priority is rather the development and rationalization of the ELVM business itself, before getting on to the subtler fine tuning and optimization issues that may be on the agenda in more mature environments.
