When Carl Benz patented the first automobile in 1886, he would not have known that nearly 140 years later there would be 1.4 billion motorised vehicles on the planet. That is a lot of engines! With this staggering number come the environmental consequences, and we’re not only talking about the burning of fossil fuels.
Have you ever wondered what happens to your old car battery or oil filter? All around the world, every day, millions of auto parts become inoperative in some way. It is important that these auto parts aren’t tossed away. They need to go somewhere, and that ‘somewhere’ cannot be landfill.
Auto parts are not only hazardous to the environment, but they also hold valuable materials that can be reclaimed and reused, giving these components a second life. Enviroserve is equipped to manage a comprehensive range of auto parts, including but not limited to those replaced under warranty. Even the furnishings and fittings of a motor vehicle are recyclable!
We offer a collection service, and our processing systems then ensure that all types of components are handled with efficiency and care. We dismantle, separate and refine the components, ultimately sending raw materials to downstream vendors. Enviroserve-approved vendors are audited annually to ensure they comply with industry standards of safe handling and environmentally friendly re-use.
The automotive industry is an important part of the global economy, and, let’s face it, we cannot imagine life without the convenience of motorised vehicles. While the impact on the environment is significant, there is a lot we can do to minimise it. Recycle safely with Enviroserve UAE!
