Practical application
Implementation records should capture facility licence, treatment activities performed, ELV or component batches, cutting/shredding evidence, waste-preparation records, recovery/disposal route, and links to temporary-storage and dismantling information.
Minespider commentary
For Minespider, treatment-facility records should anchor claims about Turkish ELV processing: which site handled the vehicle or component, what treatment occurred, and which downstream route followed.
Common confusions
- Treating a temporary storage area as a treatment facility.
- Using treatment facility as proof of recycling without output evidence.
- Ignoring that the official Turkish term is source-specific and licence-bound.
