How are car bumpers recycled?

The recycling process involves several steps to ensure the materials are properly processed and reused. The bumpers are firstly sorted based on their material type, as bumpers can be made from various types of plastics, metals, or a combination of both.

The bumpers are cleaned to remove any dirt, grease, or contaminants. They are then shredded into smaller pieces to make the recycling process more efficient.

The shredded material then undergoes a separation processes. This might involve using flotation tanks, magnetic separation, or other methods to separate plastics from metals. Once sorted, the materials are processed according to their type.

The plastic pieces are melted down and formed into pellets. These pellets can be used as raw material to manufacture new plastic products, including new car parts, construction materials, or consumer goods.

Importance Of Recycling Car Plastic Waste

Automotive plastic scrap is of significant importance as current manufacturer’s guidelines and EU directives call for a recyclate/virgin blend. Most car bumpers are made from a mix of PP (Polypropylene), Polyolefins (TPO), or Polycarbonate. Although, each model and make can contain slight variations. With body shops generating a huge amount of plastic waste, making sure that items such as plastic bumpers are disposed of sustainably is essential to saving the materials from landfills. We also take car of other automotive parts, including nylon recycling from seat belts.
