Automotive Recycling

Motive Magazine has a great article on automotive recycling. Turns out 85 percent of the mass in a vehicle is recyclable, and more than ten million cars will be recycled this year. A streamlined process sorts out everything from the aluminum in wheels and engine blocks to the mercury in navigation system screens and trunklid switches. And thus today’s junk is crushed, shredded, sorted and finally converted back into the raw materials that will make up tomorrow’s new cars.
