CAR RECYCLING, THAT'S WHAT WE DO

About us

ARN and its partners have succeeded in increasing useful reuse to over 98% of a car’s weight. 

The required recycling rates for starter and car batteries are also being comfortably met.

More than 30 years of development and refinement

At ARN we look ahead, towards a society in which usable raw materials are recycled and reused at a high level of quality and for acceptable costs. Soon, it will no longer be a given that we will need brand new raw materials. In this way, ARN contributes to a circular economy.

Existing and new regulations are setting the framework for all this and everything that we do is directly related.
