How Scrapping Your Car Helps the Environment

Dealing with Abbey Scrap Cars mean that car scrapping in Bristol  is simple and direct and doesn't involve heavy manufacturing processes or unwanted pollution. During car scrapping also known as car recycling, essential parts of the car, like the engine, are removed from the car. The liquids are drained and the tyres removed, these are then reused or recycled. Finally, the car is crushed. Then, the different metals in the car separated for recycling.

Weather your in Bristol or the surrounding area scrapping your car is, famously one of the most beneficial things you can for the environment as an individual. But if your unclear on how exactly it helps the environment. Read on.....

1. Reuse Effects

The reuse effect is the name given to the reduction in energy expenditure needed if you reuse what you already have instead of making a new one.

Reuse limits the amount of pollution emitted, reusing a car part for example means less metal ore needs to be extracted from the ground. Less fossil fuels must be burned to refine the metal ore, less energy is used moving the product from a to b and as a bonus you may even save money.

2. Preservation of Natural Resources

It's often overlooked, but the preservation of natural resources is another important benefit of the recycling process. It's simple. Metals recovered from your recycled car can be reused in other products like washing machines, electric irons, blenders and even cars.

Because of the availability of these raw materials in car scrap yards in Bristol, there is reduced pressure on mining for iron. Consequently, it limits the depletion of raw materials and reduces the pollution caused to the environment by mining.

3. Proper Disposal of Scrap

Car tyres, car batteries, engines and electronic components are removed from a car before scrapping it. Since you know this, where do you think the fluid will go? Let me help you: even before removing car tyres and batteries, car fluids like brake oil and antifreeze are drained from the car and properly disposed of to keep the environment safe from pollution.

In the cases of car batteries, the battery and its fluid are recycled or reused in another car. But one thing is sure: the toxic substances in your car are safe and properly disposed of to keep the environment safe.
