: Nordstrom’s Automotive Inc wants to remind the public:
As Earth Day approaches, a new study from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), commissioned by the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA), shines a spotlight on a powerful yet overlooked tool for sustainability: Recycled Original Equipment (ROE) auto parts.(Study can be found at A-R-A.org) By thinking beyond the recycling bin and prioritizing recycled auto parts, people at home can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save money, avoiding tariffs and other costs that come with newly manufactured auto parts. The study found that using recycled auto parts significantly reduced harmful emissions compared to using newly manufactured parts. For example, research from this study found reusing a Toyota Camry engine avoids 710.82 kg of CO₂ emissions. To put that number into context, it’s the equivalent of the carbon captured by 11 tree seedlings grown for a decade or the energy needed to charge over 44,000 smartphones. “Think beyond the recycling bin, your car is one of the most recyclable things you own,” ARA Executive Director Vince Edivan said. “More than 90% of your vehicle can be recycled and reused, saving energy and keeping harmful emissions out of the air. This Earth Day let’s make greener choices that are good for our planet, and great for your wallet.”. With the effort of conscious Auto Recyclers, the vehicle is one of the greenest products on the planet! The size of the American automotive fleet currently numbers approximately 270 million vehicles, nearly one apiece for every man woman and child in the country. Of these, it is estimated that nearly 11 million vehicles are taken off the road each year when they are totaled in accidents or reach their End of Life. (EOL) Nordstrom’s Automotive Inc of rural Garretson is a Gold Seal Certified Auto Recycler (CAR) who prides themselves in offering our customers great savings while promoting a green environment. All harmful pollutants are contained and disposed of properly throughout our dismantling operation. Nordstrom’s has been recycling EOL vehicles for over 50 years! Nordstrom’s was the 2018 STAR CERTIFIED AUTO RECYCLER FOR THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES! AS VOTED BY THE AUTOMTOIVE RECYCLERS ASSOCIATION. (A-R-A.ORG) AT NORDSTROM’S WE LIKE TO SAY “WE DISMANTLE THE BEST AND RECYCLE THE REST! “
Have a great EARTH DAY!
From Nordstrom’s Team!!
