8. By 30 September 2027, the Commission shall assess the feasibility of establishing a requirement on the minimum share of aluminium and its alloys, recycled from post-consumer waste present in and incorporated into vehicle types, considering in particular the following: the current and forecast availability of aluminium and its alloys recycled from pre-consumer and post-consumer waste; the current shares of recycled content from post-consumer waste in aluminium and its alloys in vehicles placed on the market; economic viability, technical and scientific progress, including changes in the availability of recycling technologies concerning the type of materials recycled, and their recycling rates; the contribution of a minimum share of recycled content of aluminium in vehicles to the Union’s open strategic autonomy, climate environmental and industrial objectives, in particular as regards the creation of complementary lead markets for decarbonised aluminium and its alloys; the need to prevent disproportionate negative impacts on the affordability of vehicles containing aluminium and its alloys; and the influence on the overall costs and competitiveness of the automotive sector. By 30 September 2028 the Commission shall adopt a delegated act, in accordance with Article 51, to supplement this Regulation by establishing a minimum share of recycled aluminium and its alloys to be present in and incorporated into vehicle types to be type-approved in accordance with this Regulation and Regulation (EU) 2018/858. That delegated act shall also set the date of application of the obligation to have a minimum share of recycled content no later than 14 August 2033. By 30 September 2028, the Commission shall adopt a delegated act, in accordance with Article 51, establishing the methodology for the calculation and verification of the share of aluminium and its alloys recycled from post-consumer waste in vehicle types and, if applicable from pre-consumer waste, present in and incorporated into vehicle types.
