(41) In order to increase transparency on the use of recycled materials by the automotive sector and provide incentives to increase recycled content levels, manufacturers should be required to provide technical documentation showing the percentage of recycled materials present in new vehicle types which are submitted for type-approval. That requirement should apply to a selection of materials for which an increase in recycled content level in vehicles would bring about particularly important environmental benefits. The mandatory declaration should be submitted to the type-approval authority together with other documents as part of the application for type-approval.
