Car Recycling and Disposal
Car recycling in the UK is a major industry. To give an idea of the scale, there were around 30 million motor vehicles in use in 2002. Each year around 2 million new vehicles are registered and a similar number are scrapped / recycled. Around 1.85 million cars are recycled every year with around 80% of materials (mainly metal) being recycled. The remaining 20% goes to landfill.As the number of cars on the road increases its important that we minimize the affect that car disposal has on the environment and we must take car recycling seriously. To give an idea of the effect incorrect disposal of motor can have see the facts below.
- A car holds between 4-6 litres of oil but just one litre of motor oil is sufficient to contaminate over one million litres of water. Waste oil
poured onto the ground can also affect soil fertility.
- When tyres are disposed of in landfill, instability of the land can result. More worryingly it is unknown what long term effect the chemicals in the rubber will have.
