As for cars, yes or no towards compulsory recycling of motorcycles in Europe

Like four-wheeled vehicles, the recycling of motorized two- and three-wheelers could quickly become compulsory in Europe.

Car information reports that recycling could also, like end-of-life four-wheeled vehicles, soon affect two and three-wheelers in Europe, as the European Commission seems to wish: “Requirements relating to the collection of end-of-life vehicles, their mandatory handover to approved facilities for treatment and their depollution should apply to category L vehicles (L3e-L7e). Manufacturers will be required to provide information on the disassembly and replacement of parts, components and materials.

Ending in 2025

After the compulsory technical inspection for 2WD vehicles in France, also making it compulsory to deposit 2WD vehicles at the end of their life in order to improve their recycling, is a wish apparently shared by several EU member states, some of which want more data and feasibility studies regarding the inclusion of motorized two- and three-wheelers. As for the Federation of European Motorcyclist’s Associations (FEMA) she asked the European Commission to “ensure that the possibility of controlled demolition at home remains possible, either by integrating it into the regulation or by allowing Member States to define their own rules for demolition at home.” further indicate our colleagues who add that “The outcome will be in the hands of the Polish presidency, which will begin in January 2025.“
