Automotive recycling is a vital, market-driven industry.  Every year, more than 14 million tons of recycled steel is derived from junk vehicles.

One of the automotive industry’s best-kept secrets is its recyclability.  Across North America, automotive recycling provides around 40% of ferrous metal for the scrap processing industry.  Once a car retires from the road, 80% of its parts will live many more lifetimes, and the average recycling rate for steel and iron in cars is 90%.
