Automotive demolition is a significant contributor to landfill with only 70% of the vehicle able to be re-used. There may be ways in which the auto recycling industry could contribute to a reduction in the volume of landfill, through measures such as recovery of tyres, bumper bars and other plastics. ARAA should explore means by which there can be a “win-win” outcome of an economic benefit to auto recyclers and an environmental benefit to the community.
