With ARN as implementing organisation, the Netherlands is at the forefront of vehicle recycling. All car importers in the country participate in the professional ARN network,
which is contributing to the circular economy in the Netherlands to the tune of 0.44 per cent.
On 18 April 2022, Paul Dietz took over the helm as Managing Director of ARN.
“A lot is going on at ARN, which is an organisation we can be proud of,” he opens. “There is quite a long list of activities and projects that need to be carried out, which calls for a good overview.
This is why, in collaboration with the team, I have focused on this. Every activity must contribute to the core task.
If an activity doesn’t contribute to the responsible recycling of vehicles and car batteries, we won’t do it.”
Affiliated importers, as well as ARN employees, are highly appreciative of the organisation’s work, while chain partner and Stiba board member Patrick van Gils is confident about the future of the sector.
In 2022, ARN and its chain partners once again performed impressively, thanks to the gainful reuse of 98.7 per cent, by weight, of the recycled vehicles. The Netherlands’ car-recycling sector is therefore still one of the best-performing recycling chains in Europe.
At the end of 2022, there were 340,583 fully electric cars in the Netherlands. The significant increase in the number of electric cars on the roads will also lead to a sharp increase in the number of car batteries that will need to be recycled in a high-value manner.
For the first time, ARN is reporting separate figures and results for Stichting Autobatterij Recycling and Stichting Auto Recycling Holding. Thanks to this development, the transparency of the investments made in, and the results booked by, both chains has further increased.
According to board chairman Olaf de Bruijn, car recycling stands like a house and ARN is a well-oiled organisation.
Peter Janssen made a major contribution to the development of car recycling.
