Our Vehicle Recycling Process

RE-PROCESS

RECONSTRUCTED

Metal recovered from the vehicle will be recycled, reducing your carbon footprint.

RECYCLE
If certain parts of the vehicle can’t be re- used or re- manufactured then they will be recycled. This involves reducing the part to its component materials so that it can be re- processed into new forms.
RESTORE
It may be possible to recover the energy from certain parts of a scrapped car if some of the materials can’t be reused or remanufactured or even recycled. For example engine, oil contains impurities and cannot be re-used, however properly collected waste oil can be refined to produce a valuable energy resource.

In the UK there are specific laws that are in place to minimise the environmental impact of cars on the environment, these are; 

  • Businesses that handle scrap cars should have a treatment facility permit.
  • Every scrap car must go through a de-pollution process to remove any harmful materials.
  • Most of the car needs to be recycled in order to meet UK/EU government recycling targets.

The recycling target was originally set by the EU back in 2005 at 85% – a significant 10% increase on what was being recycled at that time. This was later boosted to 95% for cars recycled during 2015.

In the UK 1000’s of cars are recycled every day and car parts are shipped across the world for re-use in developing nations.
