Scrappage.eu has been launched to answer some of the key questions that have been posed regarding the government's potential introduction of the Scrappage Scheme/Measure/Incentive. Many of the answers are already in the public domain, it's just a case of finding them, this website should make that search easier.

What is Scrappage?
Scrappage is defined as the practice of scrapping something and in the context of end of life vehicles this is the deregistering of cars with DVLA.

What is a Scrappage Scheme?
It is a method for boosting the economy and reducing CO2 emissions by incentivising consumers to swap their old "gas-guzzler" for an environmentally friendly new car.

What is a Certificate of Destruction?
A CoD is produced when an approved scrap-yard deregisters a vehicle with the DVLA. The CoD can only be produced by ELV scrap-yards registered to do this by the Environment Agency. This will be used by the car dealership to reclaim the discount from the government.
