Vehicle recycling is the breaking down of used vehicles into scrap metal for various uses. After the useful life of a vehicle is over, such vehicles have little economic value as a good source of scrap metal and this has generated a vehicle recycling industry. The scrap metal that is derived from a vehicle is known as ‘orphaned steel’. Vehicles can be broken down into scrap metal through various methods including breaking down to make frame pieces, cranking out radiators and melting down air conditioning units. Some vehicles are broken down further to refine metal into various additives which can then be used in different applications.

 

Vehicles can be recycled either at the factory where they are manufactured or at an off-site facility. Factory-produced vehicles make up the largest proportion of the vehicle recycling market. 

 

There are many benefits in recycling cars through vehicle recycling. A vehicle’s value is maximized when it is recycled because it gives back a new ‘use’ in terms of revenue to the owner. The dismantling of vehicles for spare parts also creates employment opportunities to the people operating the recycling plants. If more cars were recycled, the supply of new vehicles and the requirement for recycling cars would increase and this would consequently help stimulate the economy.

 

A vehicle recycling process involves the separation of metals such as iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, tin, etc. through a simple acid-based solution. After the removal of metals, the metals are sorted based on their specific gravity. Then, the left over materials are ground up and re-processed at an auto scrap yard for re-sale to consumers interested in purchasing used cars.

 

In most recycling facilities, the left over parts of a vehicle are sold in the open market. The auto scrap metal buyers are dealers or private individuals who purchase these parts to be sold in the market as accessories and parts for another vehicle. In fact, you could say that any part of a vehicle which does not serve any purpose in the everyday life of a vehicle can be considered junk and should be disposed of. For example, batteries and fuel tank parts are considering junk and sold in the open market.

 

Batteries, electronic motors, windscreen wipers, etc. are only a few of the things that are sold in the open market as recycling commodities. The idea behind recycling batteries is to re-use these commodities by using them in another product instead of throwing them away. Recycled batteries and elvs can be sold to manufacturers who will be interested in reusing them or sell them directly to consumers who require them.

 

Even in the automotive industry, batteries and the used parts of vehicles are used to manufacture many different types of equipment and tools. The automotive industry uses about one third of the world’s metal scrap. Batteries and their used parts are also used to build high performance vehicles. Some very well-known vehicles which have been made with batteries and their parts are sports cars, race cars, prototypes, and concept vehicles.

 

In fact, automobile companies are even now using some recycling processes to recover and sell the used parts of their vehicles. Automotive companies give great importance to this process. The end-of-life vehicle buyer can even benefit from this recycling process as he can buy the spare part at a much lower price than its original price if he purchases the part from a reputed recycling company. The automotive industry now looks at this aspect positively and it is giving due importance to this process. The demand for used car batteries has gone up and people are purchasing these at a very good price considering the fact that they are not only inexpensive but they are reliable too.
