Recycling: Bee’ah
focusing on Sustainability
Bee’ah, a leading provider of
integrated environmental and waste
management solutions,has the most
advanced facility in waste management to
join its existing facilities: the world’s most
powerful machine for shredding cars and
scrap metal. The facility is considered
to be part of Bee’ah’s complete waste
management solution.
The car recycling service is considered
to be the first of its kind in the UAE,
representing an environmentally-friendly
way to dispose of cars while extracting
valuable materials.

INTERVIEW
The simplicity of selling and
buying vehicles through
online auto auctions
By Swaliha Shanavas
Carlos Sabugueiro
Some of the best concepts start with
a simple thought, and through trial and
consistent effort the innovative processes
take shape, dramatically impacting the
community involved in that particular
field. Willis Johnson, Chairman of Copart
Inc, established his business with a single
yard in California in the early ‘80s. The
entrepreneur had an idea he thought would
greatly help his business, as well as those
looking for good solutions, particularly auto
insurance companies.
Johnson, who was picking up and
transporting vehicles from one point to
the other and taking them eventually to
an auction, mostly working for insurance
companies, decided to take over the
process himself by providing not only
the transport/logistics, but also the
facilities for storage, keeping the assets in
safe custody until they are ready for sale,
and then conducting the auction for the
owners ensuring they get the best sale
prices. Thus Copart took shape in 1982.
“What really transformed the
company was his vision of what the
internet would soon be; he was way ahead
of the game, eventually taking Copart
public and using the capital injection to
undertake a huge expansion program,”
says Copart’s Middle East head, Carlos
Sabugueiro.
Johnson registered Copart.com, created
a site and posted pictures online of vehicles
available at some of his facilities, which was
12
groundbreaking at the time. The company
floated on the NASDAQ in 1994 and in
the next 10 years they opened a new facility
every 6 weeks across the USA.
Copart is now a leading online
re-marketer of vehicles with more than
170 facilities across the world. It provides
suppliers, primarily insurance companies
and used car dealers with a full range of remarketing services exposing their products
to 900,000+ members in 142 countries and
they’re now “selling in excess of 9,500 cars
a day”. Buyers include licensed dismantlers,
re-builders, used vehicle dealers, exporters
and the general public. Corpart deals
with quite a wide spectrum of vehicles,
but predominantly they deal in standard
passenger vehicles and some commercial
vehicles such as small vans, trucks and so on.
In 2012, Copart established operations
in the UAE, with its headquarters in Dubai.
“In recent years, we’ve expanded to Brazil,
Germany, Spain, India and now we’re
incorporated and have been trading in the
UAE for 2 years,” says Sabugueiro. “We
recently moved to Dubai Industrial City,
where we are constructing our regional
corporate headquarters. With about 26
acres of land, the new facility will be able to
hold in excess of 2500 vehicles”.
VB3 – Unique online auction platform
Copart’s online auction system
has transformed the way the industry
does business, by providing an efficient,
transparent and globalised system that
allows buyers and sellers to do business in
an easy and swift manner. The patented
auction technology, “Virtual Bidding 3”, is
state-of-the-art, according to Sabugueiro. “I
don’t think there’s any other auction system
like it in the world. “VB3” was relaunched
about a year ago and as part of that launch
we also expanded it through to smart
phones and tablets. It is the first ever global
auction that you can view without actually
being a member. But if you want to bid,
you can register and go through the normal
process of becoming a member.”
Smooth and transparent process
All their auctions are run online,
and one can visit the yard to inspect the
vehicles, though ultimately one has to
bid through the internet. “This has not
only increased the transparency of the
business, but has also exploded the ability
to sell these vehicles to a global audience,”
Sabugueiro states.
The high end auction system caters
to both seller and buyer as it can be
customized to suit one’s requirements. “As
a seller you have the ability to set a reserve,
so you are always in control of the process.”
For instance, if a person feels his vehicle
is worth a certain amount, he can set that
as the internal reserve. The system just
indicates ‘on reserve’, and no one knows the
amount. The moment the bidding crosses
that number it changes to ‘pure sale’, which
means the car is a definite sale. But if it
doesn’t reach the level expected, one doesn’t
have to sell. Copart will communicate to the
seller the result, and can also electronically
communicate to the bidder the expected
amount, so he can take a decision on that.
As a buyer, the experience is smooth
as well, as the system will automatically bid
for the person if they like. One can look up
vehicles, search for favourites and check out
various models, a facility that a lot of buyers
use, the CEO says. Moreover, if someone
is not confident of using the computer/
internet, the company will educate them on
the procedures and help with the process.
Expanding operations
The company is expanding in the region
with focus on the GCC countries in the
short term. Two major projects are set to
take off as the company has recently opened
offices in Oman and Bahrain. As for Saudi
Arabia which Sabugueiro terms “the jewel
in the crown” going by the sheer size of the
country, the burgeoning population and
the number of cars on the road – they are
looking at various options and are in talks to
possibly set up a joint venture. At present,
the company doesn’t have a direct presence
in Africa, though in Nigeria there is a market
maker - an independent third party that acts
effectively as a local office for Copart.
Carlos Sabugueiro says nobody else out
there does what they do to add value to the
process. “Our core competence is online
auto auctions. And we’re here to make the
sale of a car, irrespective of its condition, a
fast, easy and transparent process. We just
want to take away the tediousness of the
process and make it a smooth, enjoyable
experience for both buyer and seller.”
they predominantly deal with insurance
companies, so most of their work is within
traditional salvage, notes Sabugueiro. At
the moment they are working with about
19 insurance companies in the UAE. Their
inventory continues to grow, and he says
Copart will soon broaden their operations
to include clean cars.
“We’ve recently concluded a major
deal with Dubai Police, where we will
be receiving confiscated and abandoned
vehicles. And we’ve tied up with the likes
of Gargash, Al Rostamani, Juma Al Majid
Group etc. where we’ll start to sell their
trade-in vehicles. We also deal with Dubai
Taxis and the RTA. We are in the process
of being approved by Dubai Courts to start
handling repossessed vehicles from finance
companies and banks so we can also help
them sell these internationally.”
Copart has been appointed as a
“trusted agent” by RTA Dubai and
they’ll be first to have access to their new
online ownership transfer system, says
Sabugueiro. “We’ll be able to process
ownership for you from our facility, which
would save a lot of hassle customers.”
Copart has the ability to expose a
salvaged asset to a global market with highly
transparent processes, says the CEO. “We’re
exposing the vehicles to buyers you might
never have seen or met, therefore creating
competition online. Our system cannot
be fixed or the auction fiddled with; one
cannot predetermine the price as the bidder
does not know who their competitor is,
unlike at a physical auction where there are
the chances of manipulation and collusion.
Taking care of logistics
Transportation is actually the buyer’s
responsibility, but the company provides
shipping services “and because of our scale,
we’ve been able to negotiate some pretty
aggressive rates for Copart buyers”, he notes.
“Many buyers knew Copart even before
we arrived, as they were using Copart in
the USA. Now we are accepting payments
for Copart US members in this office, so
people who come in and pay for the car they
bought the night before in the USA will also
pay for the shipping at the same time. Thus,
it will help them in terms of not having to
TT money overseas and they can pay in
dirhams locally, or Riyals in Oman or Dinar
in Bahrain.” Sabugueiro states.
So, has the UAE market adapted well to
their advanced technology?
“The UAE is the largest foreign buyer
of Copart US vehicles, and in 2013 we sold
and exported through Jebel Ali approx.
85,000 vehicles,” Sabugueiro comments.
Interestingly, he says when they set up
business in the UAE they started off with
a physical auction for a couple of weeks.
A few weeks down the line Copart also
introduced an internet auction, and soon
the highest prices over the internet became
the starting prices for the next physical
auction. Later they reversed the process and
the highest bid from the physical auction
became the starting bid for the following
internet auction. In the third week following
this change, one person turned up for the
physical auction “and we had the strange
experience of running a whole auction with
just one person” the CEO says. Within
two months the physical auction ceased as
nobody needed to attend as it was easier and
more convenient to bid online from home
or the office.
Copart has over 1500 members in the
UAE alone and runs weekly auctions in
Dubai selling 160+ cars a week. Presently,
Also, smaller buyers looking for one or two
cars can easily bid for the vehicles through
our system, which creates competition and
helps in terms of the price.”
“Over a period of time we’ve cleaned
up the buyer base and most of the people
realise the seriousness of the auction. If
a person bids and wins, he knows he has
to conclude that sale. And that’s what the
sellers / insurance companies like, as it
makes the payment process a lot smoother.”

FOCUS
Design for Recycling
In an interview given to Swaliha Shanavas, the Head of Recycling BMW Group, Steffen Aumann talks about their
philosophy and approach to auto design and recycling, revealing their holistic approach from the early stages of vehicle
development including the design, selection of materials and components right up to the production of the vehicles in a
manner that enables their components to be largely reused or recycled efficiently when they reach their end-of-life.
Intelligent design solutions
On BMW’s approach to
manufacturing vehicles, also keeping
in mind environmental and resource
considerations, Steffen Aumann says
even in the early stages of vehicle
development, the decisions their
designers and engineers make,
including the selection of materials
and components, will determine the
reusability of their vehicles decades into
the future.
“In line with our principle of Design
for Recycling, we create our vehicles in
such a way that their components can
largely be reused or recycled efficiently
once the vehicle reaches the end of its
life cycle.”
In the initial development and
architecture phase itself they design their
vehicles and processes with a view to
minimising the use of valuable resources,
he states. “By processing manufacturing
14
waste, we gain secondary raw materials
while protecting the environment. We
also save resources through the targeted
use of renewable raw materials. We
can draw on established systems for
the recycling of end-of-life vehicles,
components and materials.”
Recycling programmes and
take-back initiatives
“In the early 1990s – long before the
legal regulations were established – the
BMW Group began to build an extensive
network in the European Union for the
recovery and recycling of end-of-life
vehicles (ELV),” Aumann continues also
adding that each ELV returned to the
BMW Group in this network is recycled
at no charge to the last owner.
In Europe, the BMW Group has
contracts with some 2,500 vehicle
recyclers. In 2015, the legally required
recycling rate for end-of-life vehicles,
components and materials will be
raised to 85 percent reuse and recycling
of materials and 95 percent overall
recovery. They began to prepare for
these requirements at an early stage so
that all vehicles marketed by the BMW
Group since 2008 already meet the
requirements set for 2015, he notes.
“At the same time, our BMW Group
Recycling and Dismantling Centre
(RDZ) near Munich (another one is
scheduled to become operational in
Shenyang, China in 2016) is working
continuously to come up with new
solutions for vehicle recycling. The
RDZ is currently trialling recycling
concepts for the new vehicle
components found in hybrid and
electric models. Batteries from vehicles
of this kind can either be passed on
to existing networks of recycling
businesses or used, for example, to
produce photovoltaic systems.”
Opportunities in the Middle East
& Asian markets
Aumann says End-of-Life Vehicle
Regulations are already implemented
in Japan and South Korea, while China
and India have started the development
of ELV regulations. “The amount of cars
in these markets will lead to a profitable
recycling system for end-of-life vehicles.
The implementation of a working
recycling system is supported by rising
material values.”
Legislation
Legislation can definitely help to bring
positive changes in recycling worldwide,
and on the other hand, recycling is of
great interest for the automobile industry
anyway, he comments. Intelligent design,
the use of secondary and renewable raw
materials and recycling concepts enable
them to reduce their consumption of
valuable resources.
Maximising value and protecting
resources
“At the end of its lifecycle every
car offers raw materials of good value.
It’s a business case to recycle vehicles.
BMW uses intelligent design solutions
called Design for Recycling, to
ensure that our cars can be easily and
profitably recycled. Every dismantler
can receive information regarding
treatment of end-of-life vehicles via
IDIS (International Dismantling and
Information System). These aspects
increase the attractiveness of recycling
BMW cars,” Aumann notes, adding
that these standards along with
their global network for returning
used components, for instance old
catalytic converters and in the future
thermoelectric generators, are helping
them to protect resources and make
more efficient use of raw materials.
In Aumann’s view, the successive
introduction of new forms of drivetrain and
the modified vehicle concepts that result
are presenting new challenges in the use
of resources. One example, he says, is the
increased application of components made
of innovative, lightweight carbon-fibrereinforced plastic (CFRP), which is used
for the passenger compartments of the
BMW i3 and BMW i8.
“When talking about the reuse of
carbon fibres from manufacturing waste,
we have to distinguish between pure
carbon fibres and fibres with a resin matrix.
All fibres without a resin component can be
reused directly as a raw material. Plasticreinforced parts are first separated from
the resin using an established method (for
example pyrolysis) and then processed
further.”
They are also looking into innovative
solutions for the reuse of old batteries from
electric cars with the aim of extending the
life cycle of lithium-ion batteries developed
specifically for use in the BMW i3 as far as
possible. “To this end, we are developing
various concepts for potential reuse.
Used batteries can, for example, serve as
stationary power storage, thus optimizing
the use of renewable energy sources as
well as providing reliable power supply to
buildings,” he states.

the precious metal contained in the
catalytic converter can be recycled.
This creates a supplementary
supply source versus mining for the
production of new catalysts – helping
to reduce the carbon footprint. This
is a significant benefit of catalytic
converter recycling.
Additionally, BASF has a robust
history in automotive catalysis and
we have access to all major global and
local OEMs. This, in turn, provides

ELV DE-POLLUTION PROCESS
“Every legislation is only as
strong as the way it will be
controlled and executed!”
Peter Kaltenegger
Critical issues in ELV recycling
There are certain critical issues to
be considered in end-of-life vehicle
recycling. These hazards begin right
during the logistical process when ELVs
are transported and stored in the scrap
yards, with the need to organise tanks
to store liquids safely, as well as the
post processing machinery, says Peter
Kaltenegger, Vice-President of SEDA.
“One of the major issues that we
face during the ELV recycling process
is the step to reduce and avoid as much
as possible environmental hazards
while the liquids are taken out of the
vehicles. The drainage step is one of the

about end-of-life recycling issues and the opportunities as
well as challenges involved in the process in an interview
with Swaliha Shanavas.
most important to reduce the risks in a
significant manner. Explosive liquids,
hazardous fumes and ergonomic
reasons are just some facts that make
a professional de-pollution very
reasonable. Hereafter, a big step is taken
so that during the post de-pollution
process the environmental risks are kept
to a minimum.”
Opportunities for dismantlers
As for the opportunities, Kaltenegger
says up to now they are mainly to gain
raw materials out of the vehicles, “but
there are more and more thoughts to
go deeper into the dismantling and try
to separate the most valuable parts to
earn a better profit. There are nowadays
many solutions that simulate the electric
environment of vehicles in order to test
the dismantled material. Once tested
this increases again the possibility
of generating more profit out of the
dismantled parts.”
There is also the matter of not seeing
just the duty to remove the hazardous
elements out of an ELV, but also to gain
a profit out of them. “And keywords that
show such opportunities are: re-use,
re-sell and recycling!” he states, adding
that public relations are important
especially in the recycling industry.
Role of legislation
In his view, legislation is very
important as many examples in various
countries and regions prove. “Recycling
companies need to be aware of the
danger of the environment and the risks
for their workers by not using proper
There are various dangers that
evolve out of the ELV recycling, which
include environmental as well as health
issues, says the VP, also stressing
on the importance of working with
professional equipment in order to
protect the employees who are very
frequently exposed to these hazardous
liquids.
“It also makes the operations safer
because the handling of the vehicles is
properly defined. There are numerous
recorded accidents that are caused by
accidentally exploded airbags, as well as
fires that started during unsafe operations
with the drainage of cars.”
The use of proper equipment
as well as trained employees helps
increase the efficiency and the cycle
time, and it also reduces the risks to
safety and other issues.
De-pollution issues
“Regarding environmental issues it
seems very obvious that de-pollution is a
very efficient way to preserve nature from
Fluid de-pollution
Most fluids that can be recovered
from ELVs are valuable in one way or
the other for different industries, and
in today’s world, globalization helps to
generate viable options in order to make
a profit out of ELV fluids, he states.
“Gases as well as LPG can be reused
without further treatment. Oils, cooling
liquids, brake fluids can also be reused
after a special treatment procedure that
companies have developed to recycle
these fluids. Professional equipment
helps to extract the fluids as clean as
possible which in turn increases the value
for the following treatment through
other companies.”
equipment. Here the legislation of the
European Union regarding the ELV
directive is a best practice example,” the
VP emphasises.
Major key points are for
instance:
•
•
•
•
By 2015 the reuse and the recycle quota of ELV’s has to be at least 95%
By 2007 the return of any ELV to a take back point will be free of charge for the last user
ELV treatment facilities carrying out de- pollution need to be licensed as authorised treatment facilities (ATF’s)
Minimum technical requirements:
o Removal of batteries and liquefied gas tanks
o Removal or naturalisation of potential explosive components (e. g. airbags)
o Removal and separate collection and storage of fuel, motor oil, gearbox oil, hydraulic oil, cooling liquids, antifreeze, brake fluids, air conditioning system fluids
o Removal, as far as feasible, of all components identified as containing mercury
“Of course every legislation is only as
strong as the way it will be controlled and
executed!” Kaltenegger concludes.
Dangers and key challenges
involved in ELV recycling
contamination. Through a professional
de-pollution station many issues can be
eliminated. These stations are designed
in order to meet ergonomic and safety
standards for employees to reduce
accidents. Furthermore, the fumes
and liquids exposure are reduced to a
minimum,” Kaltenegger notes.
Again, looking at the costs and
benefits that result from working with
proper equipment the ROI is met
pretty quickly, the reasons for that
also being the reduced working time
through efficient and easy handling of
the equipment; and the clean separation
of fluids that can be resold, reused or
recycled, he explains.
“Due to the fact that environmental
issues are very sensitive in this particular
industry, professional and state-of-the-art
equipment can help to put the right spot
on the company and make people aware
of the positive aspects of such facilities.”

ANALYSIS
Auto Recycling
in the Middle East
By Subhash Joshi
The Middle East (ME) in general and
the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) in
particular is a fast growing market for the
automotive industry. The combination
of relatively high living standards and
a growing population has been the key
driving force behind the growth in auto
sales in the region. The five key factors
responsible for the steady growth of the
auto industry in the region are as follows:
• Continuous population growth rate,
which is nearly 5.2 per cent in the last 10
years
• Improved local economic indicators
such as gross domestic product (GDP)
growth and increased government
spending in the last five years
• Improved per capita income
• Auto financing programmes by
automotive cars agents / banks /
leasing companies with flexible rates
and conditions; now, even 100 per cent
financing is available
• Lack of public transportation options,
leading to a relatively higher rate of car
ownership amongst the population
Vehicle Sales:
If we look at last 15-year sales of
vehicles in the GCC, there has been an
almost 250 per cent growth in demand.
In 1999, the GCC sold nearly 0.53
million vehicles, which has reached to
1.38 million in 2013. In 2009, the GCC
vehicles market witnessed a 12 per cent
decline due to global economic recession,
but it recovered well. The recovery was
mainly driven by increasing government
investment in basic economic activities
(including infrastructure), which
directly affected per capita income and
affordability for vehicles. In addition, it
is pertinent to mention here that, today,
there is no proper public transportation
system in most of the countries in the
GCC; hence, dependency on personal
means of transportation is very high.
Countries in the GCC rely highly
on government expenditure to drive
economy and this trend is likely to
continue in future, as well. If we look at
a competitive analysis of government
expenditure as percentage of GDP, the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Oman,
and Bahrain are among top five countries,
which have higher dependency on
government expenditure. It is as high as
39.9 per cent in the KSA. The increased
government expenditure directly affects
income levels in the economy and this

increase finds its way to the vehicles
market as the region has very limited
dependency on public transportation
system. It is pertinent to mention here
that the Gen Y population1 (1 Gen Y
population also includes working youth;
hence, the maximum age limit is kept at
30 years) in the KSA, Kuwait, and Qatar
is more likely to invest in owning a car
rather than investing in property or
international travel.
Development of economy beyond
oil is another key driver for the growth
of the automotive industry in the region.
Economy in the GCC is diversifying
into ever widening set of business. The
KSA, which is the largest automotive
market in the GCC and the Middle East,
is working towards developing economy
beyond oil. The key focus areas for the
Government are to create employment for
the locals and increase industrialization
in the country, which in turn increases
household income and affordability for
owning vehicles.
There are certain restrains as well
to this growth. Countries in the GCC
are investing in Public Transportation
Systems, which is likely to have long-term
impact on the vehicles sales. Recently,
the KSA Government have announced
establishment of Metro Rail in Riyadh.
Based on these drivers and restrains we
expect the passenger vehicles industry to
witness a Compound Average Growth
Rate (CAGR) of 5.2 per cent between
2014 and 2020. Vehicles sales re likely to
reach at 2.03 million units in 2020 from
1.38 million units in 2013.
Vehicle Parc:
To understand the overall
automotive metal recycling market in
the GCC, it is very important to know
the number of vehicles currently in
operation, their average age, and the
possible changes in future.
If we look at industry statistics
of the overall vehicle parc, it was
estimated at 12.9 million units in
2013. The vehicle parc has witnessed a
CAGR of nearly 8.8 per cent between
2007 and 2013. As mentioned earlier,
the KSA is the largest market followed
by the United Arab Emirates (UAE),
Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain.
In the overall vehicle parc, the KSA
accounts for nearly 58 per cent. We
expect this market to witness a CAGR
of 6.0 per cent over next seven years
(2013-2020). The KSA and the UAE
will continue to dominate the market.
As discussed above, it is important
to understand the vehicle age. At
present, nearly 23 per cent of the
vehicles are more than 11 years old,
out of which almost 7.7 per cent are
more than 15 years old and close their
End of Life (EOL). A detailed analysis
of vehicle age provides us with more
alarming numbers in 2020. We expect
to have more than 27 per cent vehicles
in above 11 years age category; in
fact the 15 years and above category
is likely to account for nearly 12 per
cent share in parc (nearly 2.7 million
vehicles) in 2020. This means, a
larger number of vehicles are
reaching their EOL.
Globally, recycling end-of-life
vehicles (ELV) is a key industry

due to two important factors. The
environment relevance and the
quantity of recycled material it
generates, which provides huge
savings for the industry stakeholders.
Today the “Environment Relevance”
has very high importance in promoting
ELV, globally. It allows recycling of
valuable materials and, at the same
time, provides solution against
hazardous components, which come
from abandoned vehicles, improper
dismantling practices, and increase
in amount of Automotive Shredder
Residue (ASR).
Talking about the facts, in 2010,
the total automobile fleet was globally
estimated at 1,018 million units where
almost 63 million vehicles deregistered
and 40.2 million such vehicles have
reached their EOL. Together, this
has generated 21.5 million tonnes of
recycled metal.
Now, looking at the future
of this industry, a detailed analysis
of the global vehicles industry
suggests that there is likely to be 79
million vehicles to reach their EOL
and this will provide an opportunity
to generate nearly 40.1 million
tonnes of recycled metal.
Exhibit 3 clearly
represents the growth
potential available in the
global Automotive Metal
Recycling Market, but it is
very important to understand
what it means for the region.
As of today, there are very
limited laws to define ELV
in the GCC and very limited
recycling facilities as well.
Frost & Sullivan did a detailed
analysis to understand how
many vehicles will reach
its EOL in the coming six
years in the GCC. It is very
important to understand
that most of the old vehicles
(which have already crossed
their EOL) are exported to
countries in Africa or the CIS.

ANALYSIS
To estimate the future of the ELV market in the region, we assumed that legislations will restrict above 15-year-old vehicles
to operate and most of these vehicles will not be exported to any other country outside the GCC. After considering all these
assumptions, we applied global norms of percentage of vehicles reaching ELV on the regional parc. Based on this, in 2014, there
are almost 0.48 million vehicles reaching its EOL and in 2020, these numbers are likely to reach 1.17 million.
The key question that rises here is what does the above mean for the recycling industry? The following four scenarios will
help make our estimates more realistic:
• Scenario 1: There will not be any regulation for ELV in the GCC
• Scenario 2: Regulation only limited to the UAE for ELV
• Scenario 3: Regulation limited to the KSA and the UAE KSA for ELV
• Scenario 4: ELV Regulation applicable for the entire GCC
Exhibit 4: Opportunities available in Metal Recycling through ELV, the GCC, 2020
Conclusion:
Strict ELV regulation in the GCC can result in 0.9 million tons of automotive metal recovery, which offers a sustainable
business model for recyclers and parts remanufacturers (this is limited at present). In addition, it will offer the following benefits:
• Resource Efficiency: Increased rates of reuse, recycling, and recovery can yield environmental benefits by reducing disposal to
landfill and reducing the use of virgin materials and energy. It will also provide reductions in Landfill Costs
• Economic Benefits to Public Authorities: Deal with the problem of abandoned vehicles and to tackle vehicle crime
It is also critical to understand that automobiles are amongst the most recyclable of engineered goods. They offer up to 90 per
cent rates of recovery, of which, 65 per cent of the weight of a typical saloon car is high-grade steel, aluminium accounts for another
7-8 per cent, and other useful materials like copper, noble metals in the catalytic convertors, etc. can also be recovered. In fact, the
plastic and rubber used in the cars can be recycled too. Recycling a normal saloon car can conserve 2,500 Kg of iron ore, 1,400 Kg
of coal, and 125 tonne of limestone reduce the release of 1,000 Kg of carbon dioxide and save more than 1 megawatt of energy.
At present, there are several challenges to the Automotive Recycling Industry in the region. Lack of a unified regulation and
infrastructure, an unorganised sector, many stakeholders involved (no single group comes forward to own the process), limited
attention for ecological issues, and non-existence Vehicle Manufacturing / Assembly Infrastructure are the key challenges.
As a key industry partner, Frost & Sullivan recommends involvement of all stakeholders to implement strict laws, a public-private
partnership (PPP) for an efficient and viable recycling industry in the GCC, and green marketing efforts to brand the automotive recycling
industry as a professional organisation selling green, economical, and safe recycled parts.
