The future of car recycling is now
Together, ARN and partners have succeeded in increasing useful recycling to 98.7% of a car’s weight. We are working together with the entire car recycling chain to create a circular economy.
A sustainable chain, where there is no harm to the environment and habitat. This is going further and further. What is not possible now will soon be possible.
