An atf stands for authorised treatment facility which is a scrap yard or scrap vehicle dealer that follows specific rules and regulations when it comes to the dismantling and recycling of scrap cars. Dismantlers / scrap merchants have proven that they follow strict guidelines set by the Environment Agency and will have a atf licence. This means that the facility is authorised to recycle / dispose of end-of-life vehicles in an environmentally responsible manner. AFT must comply with a range of requirements, including keeping accurate records of all vehicles that are dismantled and recycled / disposed of. This ensures that all vehicles are properly accounted for and that the materials from each vehicle are recycled or disposed of in the most appropriate way. Authorised treatment facilities play an important role in ensuring that scrap cars are dealt with in a safe and responsible manner.
