The future of car recycling is now

In tandem with the whole recycling chain, we are working towards the circular economy. A sustainable chain that doesn’t inflict damage on the natural or living environment. That is progressing further. What is not possible today, will be possible tomorrow.

About ARN

ARN stands for sustainable car recycling. We – on behalf of the car importers – do this together with 300 organizations including car dismantling companies, shredding companies, collectors, and recycling companies. And with success! In the Netherlands, 98.7% of each car is reused effectively.

In addition, ARN handles the collection and recycling of car batteries for a large number of car importers. ARN also implements Scooter Recycling Netherlands. We are a non-profit organization funded by the recycling fee.

Together with our partners, ARN has succeeded in increasing the gainful reuse of end-of-life vehicles to 98.7 per cent, by weight.
