= For Immediate Release =
Bristol, Somerset, UK. July 2nd 2009 – When people talk about recycling, the idea tends to conjure up images of heading down to the local bottle bank, or handing in old newspapers or aluminium cans. However, while these are valid forms of recycling in their own right, there is one very powerful way that you can help the environment especially from a business perspective: Scrap car collection / van removal.
The obvious recycling benefits include the salvage of working parts from a vehicle, but sensible and effective car and van salvage goes beyond that. About 65% of a junk car is comprised of steel. Across the country, millions of tons of steel gets scrapped every year. However, the most important part is just how much energy this can save. According to a report from the Environmental Protection Agency, recycling the steel from salvaged cars requires 74% less energy than making it new.
New laws for ELV (End of Life Vehicles commonly referred to as ‘scrap’ or ‘junk’ vehicles) passed in the EU means that the days for cars sitting around in grimy junkyards rusting into oblivion is well and truly over.
Modern junkyards and vehicle disposal companies like Bristol’s United Vans are now incredibly environmentally efficient places, taking not only the parts and metal of a car but also removing and safely disposing of items like tires and batteries.
Improved business practices and intelligent regulations on recycling mean that getting rid of that old car could actually provide more recycled materials than an entire years worth of trips to the bottle bank.
