Automotive recycling is the process of dismantling vehicles that are no longer in use to recover valuable materials and parts. This includes metals like steel and aluminum, which can be melted down and reused, as well as components such as batteries and tires that can be repurposed or recycled. The goal is to minimize waste and reduce the environmental impact of discarded vehicles. The recycling process typically begins with the removal of hazardous materials, followed by the extraction of usable parts. Remaining materials are then processed for recycling. This practice not only conserves resources but also supports a sustainable economy by reducing the need for new raw materials.
