The plastics, for example, are broken down and liquefied, then reformed into pellets, which can even be sent back to the car manufacturer to reuse in new cars. The vehicles are then disassembled, and the parts sorted and classified for reuse. Almost every part recovered can be reused, either as spare parts for older or antique cars, or are re-bored and used in new cars.
Once everything that can be salvaged has been,m the cars is brought to the next piece of Car Salvage Equipment For Car Recycling: a crane, which transports the car remains to a crushing machine.
