END-OF-LIFE VEHICLES AND STRIPPED BODYWORK

Wiederkehr Recycling Altfahrzeuge Restkarossen

What are end-of-life vehicles and stripped bodywork?

If end-of-life vehicles are released for recycling, all parts, such as axles, machine units, the entire interior and the electronics must first be dismantled and removed. The result is the empty shell of a once beautiful car, all ready for the recycling process.

Recycling end-of-life vehicles and stripped bodywork

Once the vehicle body is free of other materials, the metal shell is first compacted in the crusher and then chopped up in the shredder. Alloys and painted parts are separated in complex processes. The resulting reusable fractions can then be reintroduced into the circular economy.
