The Purest form of Recycling…
"The original recyclers!"
You may not be aware that automotive recycling is recycling at the purest. Re-use is the ultimate form of recycling. Raw materials and expensive manufacturing are not required when a quality used auto part is removed from another vehicle and used again. An astounding 86 percent of each vehicle is recycled.
What does that mean annually?
- Six million tires are recycled
- 100 million Gallons of Gas and Diesel fuel are recycled
- 24 Million gallons of motor oil are recycled
- Eight million gallons of engine coolant and 4.5 million gallons of windshield wiper fluid are recycled
- Every year end of life vehicles produce over 14 million tons of steel to be reused and recycled
- More than 97 percent of all the vehicle battery lead is recycled
