10 Facts About Automotive Recycling

Post by: Raphael Grovers June 14, 2022 0 Comments

Did you know that the automobile that you’re driving today will end up being recycled as used auto parts, metals, and other materials? Approximately 80% of your vehicle can be recycled. This is a good thing for the environment, the automotive industry, and consumers. Here are ten (10) facts about automotive recycling from Robertson Auto Salvage in Wareham, MA.

1. Automobiles are the most recycled consumer product in the entire world. There are over 25 million tons of materials being recycled from old cars, trucks, SUV,s and vans on a yearly basis.

2. Each year the automobile recycling industry in the U.S. and Canada contributes enough steel to produce roughly 13 million new vehicles. It also saves approximately 85 million barrels of oil.

3. The automobile recycling industry is the 16th largest industry in the United States, contributing $25 billion a year to the national GDP. It also employs approximately 100,000 people, and has been in existence for over 75 years.

Vehicle recycling

4. Vehicle recycling amounts to approximately 40% of ferrous metal for the scrap processing industry. In addition, the amount of hazardous fluids and oils that are safely reclaimed by auto recyclers is equal to eight Exxon Valdez disasters believe it or not.

5. Most auto recyclers are small businesses that supply retail and wholesale customers with quality auto parts that cost 20% to 80% less than comparable new auto parts. Over 75% of all automotive recycling companies employ ten (10) or more people.

6. Approximately 27 million vehicles per year reach the end of their life cycle and are recovered for recycling. Nearly Just  80% of a vehicle (by weight) is recycled. The remaining 20% is termed “auto shredder residue,  which includes ferrous and nonferrous metal pieces, dirt, glass, fabric, paper, wood, rubber, and plastic.

9. Just about 90% of a vehicle’s aluminum is recovered and recycled. Although this represents less than 10% of the vehicle by weight, it’s nearly 50% of the scrap value.

The Robertson family has just about seen and experienced it all since we’ve been involved in the used automotive industry for so many years. However, we’ve never experienced a situation quite like the one that is occurring now. Needless to say, we’re all living through unprecedented times. 

Prices are higher than ever before for everyday items such as groceries and fuel thanks to an all-time high spike in the inflation rate. The prices for new automobiles are through the roof.  You can thank the global microchip shortage for that. The bottom line is that there isn’t a large enough supply of new vehicles to meet the current demand. 

Robertson Used Vehicles

In fact, we’re currently suffering from the lowest supply of new cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs in modern times. New vehicles are hard to come by these days.  Consumers are turning to used vehicles instead. That has significantly increased the prices of used vehicles. Due to the spike in used car prices, many hard-working people simply cannot afford to buy a used automobile that’s in good shape let alone decent shape. So, we knew that we had to do something about this in order to help the community. 

Robertson’s Auto Salvage is announcing that we are now selling used automobiles that you can drive right off of our lot at incredibly affordable prices.
