Scrapyards, Automotive Spares and Global Warming
Automotive scrapyards are good for the environment. The re-use of used auto parts and the re-cycling process of scrapyard automobiles saves valuable energy and natural resources. By re-using salvageable used auto parts from accident damaged vehicles, and the processing of scrap metals from automotive scrap yards, reduces the greenhouse gas footprint. This positively alters cliimate change and global warming effects that impact our earth. Automotive scrapyards need to adopt this phenomenon, enhancing the perception that people have about scrapyards, and rightly take the credit for it through advertising awareness.
For every ton of steel re-cycled, 1135 Kg of iron ore, 635 Kg of coal, and 55 Kg of limestone are conserved. Industry statistics show that since 1997, enough steel was recovered from scrap yard re-cycled cars and trucks to manufacture and assemble 14 million new automobiles. This re-cycling process preserves metal reserves as well as the energy required to produce refined steel.
It makes sense to re-use and fit used auto parts to cars and trucks. The auto parts on late model vehicles have immense value. Scrapyards supply second hand parts that are now being re-used more often by panelbeaters through insurance companies who have realised the importance of this underlying process and are applying more used auto spares to accident damaged vehicles. If you are looking4spares look no further.

Scrapyards and motor parts dealers affiliated to this website are committed to promoting the Re-use and Re-cycle process 'way of thinking', to assist the fight against climate change. Did you know: Automobiles produce 20% of greenhouse gasses and that scientists estimate that every 10 years global temperature increases by 1 degree C and should we reach 2 degree plus in the next 20 years, this would benchmark a global tipping point. The Greenland ice shelf is melting at an estimated 40m p/day, enough water to supply New York for one year. Rising sea levels are adding extreme pressures on our earths plectonic plates, causing shifts. Tsunamis and global disasters are immenent and Hurricane Katrina was labled, 'The Storm of the Century', just a hint of what's to come. Amazon forrests that emit 20% of our oxygen are being depleted at alarming rates and in 2007 it's tributaries dried up completely for the first time ever. Global disaster is a reality. Think what mankind has accomplished and diminished in just over 100 years. We are now required to cut 17 billion tons of greenhouse gasses a year to stay on the safe side of the 2 degree tipping point ... as China puts out 14,000 new cars on the road each day ?
