The environmental impact of car scrapping and recycling

1. THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF CAR SCRAPPING AND RECYCLING • Car scrapping and recycling helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by saving energy and materials that would otherwise be used to produce new cars. • Car scrapping and recycling prevents soil and water contamination by safely disposing of hazardous fluids and substances that can leak from end-of-life vehicles. • Car scrapping and recycling conserves natural resources by reusing metals, plastics, rubber, and other materials that can be extracted from scrap cars and turned into new products. • Car scrapping and recycling supports the circular economy by creating a closed loop of production and consumption that minimises waste and maximises value. • Car scrapping and recycling creates jobs and income opportunities for the scrap car industry and its associated sectors, such as transportation, processing, and manufacturing. • Car scrapping and recycling reduces the demand for landfill space by diverting millions of tonnes of scrap cars from being dumped every year. • Car scrapping and recycling improves air quality by removing old, inefficient, and polluting vehicles from the roads and replacing them with newer, cleaner, and more fuel-efficient ones. • Car scrapping and recycling enhances environmental awareness and responsibility by encouraging car owners to dispose of their vehicles in an eco-friendly manner and to adopt sustainable mobility alternatives. https://www.sjd-trading.co.uk/
