Regardless of a car’s age, few go directly to the compactor & shredder. The components, reusable resources, materials that can be recycled, and hazardous fluids need to be separated and collected. Automotive recyclers and scrappers help assist recovery of vehicles and protect the environment by extending the resources contained in each car. Cars are some of the most popularly recycled items; over than 95% of them in U.S. are being recycled at the end of their serviceable life. Auto recycling is maturing within the marketplace & tech-driven industries which constantly change to keep up innovations in auto technology & manufacturing.
End-of-Life-Vehicles (ELVs) are recycled in (4) steps:
- They are dismantled
- Crushed
- Shredded
- Materials are recovered
In dismantling, scrappers and recyclers drain the fluids and remove the key components of the vehicle. These may include batteries, wheels, tires, steering units, body panels, radios, the engines, the starter, the transmission, alternator and more. Select plastic components of the vehicle are recycled based on condition and market demand. For example, a current year Ford Focus or Chevy Malibu with damage to the rear-end has numerous, front end and interior components which can be provided to repair shops—these reused, OEM components provide a savings to consumers each year in reduced insurance premiums & repair costs regardless of whether it is plastic, steel or aluminum.
The US Council on Auto Research (USCAR), a group of US auto manufacturers, estimates that about 84% of a vehicle, based on weight, is currently recycled in the U.S. Metal is the largest material for recovery from vehicles. In North America, there is minimal recycling of plastics during the dismantling stage due to the costs of collecting, sorting & processing them–but this is changing. The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) has developing scraps specifications for plastic auto bumper cover and it may be approved this summer. The ISRI process to develop specifications for ELV bumpers will help spur additional recycling and usage of the material.
