Our Certified Eco Recycling Process
Genuine eco-certified vehicle recycling goes far beyond simply removing old cars. Our certified 5-stage process achieves 80 percent material recovery from every vehicle we collect — backed by full documentation.
Our Certified 5-Stage Recycling Process
We do not just remove vehicles — we process them responsibly from first contact to final recycling certificate, achieving an industry-leading 80 percent material recovery rate.
Collection
Sealed collection vehicles prevent any fluid leakage during transport. We collect from any location, any condition, anywhere in New Zealand.
Depollution
All hazardous fluids extracted by certified technicians. Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, refrigerants — all safely removed and treated.
Parts Recovery
Reusable components catalogued and directed to the second-hand parts market, extending useful life and reducing manufacturing demand.
Material Sorting
Remaining materials sorted into steel, aluminium, copper, and other streams using specialist separation technology at our certified facility.
Certified Recycling
All materials directed to licensed recyclers. We achieve 80% material recovery and provide full documentation for every vehicle processed.
Why Our Eco Process Matters
Protecting New Zealand’s Waterways
Engine oil can contaminate up to one million litres of groundwater per litre released. Coolant is toxic to aquatic life. Air conditioning refrigerants damage the ozone layer. Our zero-contamination collection protocol prevents a single drop of hazardous fluid from reaching New Zealand’s rivers, streams, or coastal waters.
The Carbon Benefit
Recycled steel requires 74 percent less energy than virgin steel. Recycled aluminium requires 95 percent less energy than primary production. Every vehicle we recycle contributes a carbon saving of approximately 1 to 1.5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent compared to virgin material production.
Parts Reuse — The Biggest Environmental Win
Reusing a functional component avoids the entire manufacturing energy cost of a new replacement part. Our parts recovery assessment ensures every vehicle yields maximum reuse value before material processing begins.
Recycling Certificates — Documented Accountability
We provide recycling certificates documenting exactly how your vehicle was processed, what materials were recovered by category, and what recovery rate was achieved. Request your certificate when booking your collection — no additional charge applies.
