The Green Approach

Not only do we give you a good price for your old car, but we are also concerned about environmental and public health. Hence, our green approach to car recycling.

The green approach is a strategy involving operations aimed at preventing and reducing environmental pollution. Car recycling involves discarding hazardous substances such as coolants, brake fluids and fuel, which as professionals we are trained and practiced do appropriately.

Benefits of Sustainable Car Recycling

In addition to the proper disposal and reduction of toxic wastes and substances, other benefits of scrapping a car at Abbey Scrap Cars include:

1. Improved Air Quality

End-of-life vehicles (ELVs) can produce toxic air pollutants, such as fumes from burning, that are hazardous to the plants, animals and human health. Therefore, recycling these ELVs is imperative. And what could be safer than having professionals like Abbey Scrap Cars handle your car scrapping in Gloucestershire?

2. Decreased National Dependence on Imported Oil

Most ELVs are old vehicles that utilise crude oil products like petroleum and diesel to function. These oils are usually imported into the country before they are processed. Scrapping these old cars and replacing them with low-emission cars or electric cars alleviates the need to import large amounts of crude oil into the country.

3. Improved Road Safety.

Cars evolve, vehicles that are faster, more comfortable, better for the environment and safer are constantly being developed. The judicious scrapping of old vehicles at Abbey Scrap Cars helps by making room for new ones. We can recycle the old one responsibly and ensure that while they may not be used anymore they won't just sit and pollute the environment.

Preservation of Raw Materials

Cars are mainly built with steel, and steel is made from iron. Therefore, scrapping and recycling cars helps in preserving iron ores. The preserved iron ores can then be used to produce other vital products or saved for future use.

Wildlife Protection

Sustainable car recycling also helps in protecting the local fauna and flora. Steel mining is not an eco-friendly activity because it causes erosion and soil pollution, hence inhibiting wildlife from maintaining their usual habitat and habits. Runoff of contaminated soil into water bodies can also be hazardous to aquatic wildlife.
