Research Summary

Automotive recycling, also known as auto recycling or vehicle recycling, is the process of dismantling and recycling end-of-life vehicles to recover valuable materials, components, and fluids while minimizing environmental impact. Automotive recycling facilities handle the disposal and dismantling of old or irreparable vehicles, extracting and recycling usable parts and materials. The process typically involves draining and recycling fluids like oil, coolant, and gasoline, followed by the removal and salvage of parts that can be reused or refurbished. The remaining vehicle shell is then crushed or shredded, and the resulting metal is recycled. Automotive recycling plays a crucial role in reducing waste, conserving resources, and preventing the accumulation of abandoned vehicles. It promotes the reuse of components, reduces the demand for new manufacturing, and supports the circular economy by extending the lifespan of automotive materials. Additionally, automotive recycling helps manage hazardous substances and ensures compliance with environmental regulations, making it an important industry for sustainable and responsible vehicle disposal.
