The automotive recycling process is a very in-depth process that allows the metal from old, defunct, and crashed vehicles to be turned into something valuable. There are many electronic parts in a car that can be taken out and resold at a high dollar amount, and the rest of the vehicle can be taken apart to be recycled.
Recycling is becoming increasingly important in a society that uses more materials each year. The world only has a limited amount of specific materials found in cars, and these materials can be used over and over again if they go through the correct processes.
When auto salvage yards take in vehicles, everything that still works and is valuable is taken off the car to be resold. From that point, the car is placed in a huge compactor to compress the entire vehicle into a small cube of metal.
This metal is then sent to the crucible to be melted down and formed into a number of usable products.
The recycled metal can be used to form piping, rebar, tubes, and more. The whole process begins at auto salvage yards which ensure the proper steps are taken to effectively recycle materials into their next form.
