The Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA), Manassas, Va., has launched a new Website that the association says has been designed to promote the economic and environmental impact of recycled automotive parts. The new site can be found at www.greenrecycledparts.com.
In a release announcing the site, Michael Wilson, CEO of the ARA, notes, "On an annual basis recycling automobiles in the U.S. provides enough steel to produce almost 13 million new vehicles, saves an estimated 85 million barrels of oil and reduces greenhouse gases associated with the manufacturing of new or replacement automobile parts."
The ARA adds that www.greenrecycledparts.com has been designed to educate consumers about the benefits of recycled parts. The site also links consumers, repair facilities and insurance companies with a network of automobile recyclers across the country.
