What happens to a car after it’s been scrapped?

 Millions of cars are crushed and scrapped. When a car no longer has value or is no longer being used, many people choose to scrap it. Vehicles have value as a source of spare parts at the end of their useful life, which has created an industry for vehicle dismantling. Scrap metal recycling is also beneficial to the environment because it reduces the need to produce.

When you scrap your car, it is taken to a facility where it is processed, including the removal of hazardous materials that could contaminate the environment and any recyclable parts. The remaining parts of your vehicle are then crushed. So if you ever met with an accident, the car can become a piece of junk, or it can simply age and emit harmful gases, polluting the environment. By law, such a vehicle is designated as a scrap vehicle. You are no longer permitted to drive your car if it has been declared scrap. As a result, the only option left to you is to sell your car.

Here are a few things to consider about what happens to a car after it is scrapped.

• Arriving and transferring:  When your car arrives, it will be lifted to the appropriate area to undergo vehicle depollution. This is the process of separating and removing many components that may be harmful to the environment. For health and safety reasons, you must take your vehicle to an authorized treatment facility. To protect the environment, this process must be completed before your vehicle can be recycled.

• Vehicle de-pollution process: Cars contain a variety of hazardous materials that must be removed and disposed of properly. If these pollutants are not removed, they can enter the water supply and the food chain, causing a slew of issues for nature, wildlife, and human health.

• Removal of Bulky Parts and Glass: Window glass can be removed and re-used, often in the construction industry. Plastics can also be recycled more effectively, so these have to be removed separately too.

• Shredding, Crushing, and Fragmentizing: After the de-pollution process, we move on to the crushing. Car-crushing machines are compactors. This means they can flatten a car or compress it into a large, flat piece of scrap metal. Smaller scrapyards continue to bash scrap cars to pancake them. A car baler or car press is common in large auto salvage yards. What's left of the car can be stacked and transported more easily if it's flattened.
