Have you ever wondered what becomes of a car when it dies? When the engine has died, when the tyres are no longer turning and you find yourself waving an old friend, former lover (or magnet for parking tickets) who has stood by your side for to many years. And for most people, the first image that pops into their mind is a desolate, decaying graveyard of metal boxes. But you know what, here at WA Auto Parts we think a little differently. And now, we see a tale of revival and an eco parable in action,” says Storm The Wall is one story in the ongoing project to preserve our beautiful West Australian environment”.
WA Auto Parts is one of the leading car wreckers in Perth, provides alternative for buying new or second-hand parts. We are environmental caretakers, transforming end-of-life vehicles into glorious sources of reusable and recyclable products. And it’s not just business for us, it’s a commitment to a greener world. Each and every car that comes into our yard is the beginning of an amazing recycling adventure, and it’s one we feel all Perthites need to know about.
It’s the tale of how car wreckers, those unsung heroes of motordom, are leaving their mark. It’s also a story about how your legacy car can have not one, but another life, and then a third or fourth — doing good on the planet for generations. So buckle up as we draw back the curtain and let you see the ridiculously amazing enviro legs we stand on every single day.
Pillar 1: Waste Prevention – Good for What Ails out of Control Landfills
Think about the number of cars we drive on our roads. Now, picture instead that after each one of those, we disposed of it in a landfill at the end of its life. The environmental impacts would be catastrophic. Our landfills would bulge with mangled steel, non-degradable plastics and poisons that could survive dense tribal brew to become our eternal monument to instance of the earth.
This is where the first and foremost important part of what we do here at WA Auto Parts becomes apparent. Modern cars are a complex mass of increasingly intricate components made from an enormous range of different materials. When a car is simply junked, all of that valuable material is lost forever.” Yet with our rigorous recycling regimen, 90% of a vehicle’s weight can be reclaimed. It’s staggering to think that much waste material is being diverted from our valuable landfill space.
“There are countless thousands of cars that reach the end of their working life here in Western Australia every single year. Below, we share why you can be proud to recycle a car when you use a professional car wrecker. The steel frame, the aluminum engine block, the copper wiring, the plastic dashboard the glass windows — almost everything can start over somewhere else.
This is a role we take very seriously here in Perth. Not only are our staff all professional in any type of vehicle body work, but they absolutely live for anything with wheels and the sound of an engine – they love it.Whether you think your beaten old car is ready to be scrapped, we can see something worth saving. We are aware that as we dismantle these autos systematically, it is not only benefiting space but minimizing our community’s environmental presence. It’s a way, tactile and practical, to address an elephantine global problem — and it’s happening hereB in our plant.
Pillar 2 Saving Of Resources – Preservation Of The Scanty Wealth Of Our Planet.
The inputs that feed the making of a car do not, after all, magically appear. They are extracted from the earth during mining and drilling that often harms the broader environment. The mining of iron ore to make steel, bauxite for aluminum and petroleum for plastics is extremely energy intensive and environmentally damaging — it accounts for nearly 10 percent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, uses large amounts of water and can result in habitat destruction due to deforestation and soil erosion.
And that is where our second green arm at WA Auto Parts excels: We conserve. For every piece that we save and every kilogram of metal that we recycle, we eliminate the need to mine for new, virgin materials.
Consider steel, which accounts for most of a car’s weight. Producing steel from recycled scrap uses 76% less energy than that of raw materials such as iron ore. But that’s more than just a number; that is a steep cut in the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change. By contrast, recycling aluminum is an even more impressive endeavor: It requires a crushing 95% less energy to make aluminum from recycled material than it does by mining bauxite.
I’ve tossed them out here to ride down the compost and this place is a veritable landfill of junkIt’s almost as if people have forgotten they can use this useful material we’ve already produced again, but you’d like I suppose to call us to see if we have model so-and-so motor part in stockWe still have itWhat makes that shockingThe fact that there are still unenlightened folks out there who don’t appreciate just how much our modern world has been masticating the planet, chewing up what is practically stuff for little purpose and letting it sit there and damn near destroy our environment marginRight=25 …..AnywayI’ll proofread when’ “Jesus had broad definition of marriage..” ~BY DENNIS PALUMBO*Gravity technical difficulties: Some pain does segue well without transition to certain thoughts! When you bring in your old junker or buy‑a‑great-part at our shop – straight forward helping the long-term save game. The alternator you pull at the junkyard for your daily driver is one build of an alternator that didn’t get built from raw materials. Part of it could find its way into a bridge or the washing machine or even to create a new car.

Suggestion 3: Polluting the Pastures: Safeguarding our Soil and Water
A car is more than its metal and plastic. It also serves as a reservoir for the cocktail of chemicals and fluids required to operate it, though that can be highly toxic if not disposed of responsibly. Motor oil, trans fluid, antifreeze coolant, brakefluid and battery acid are highly toxic. When an old car is abandoned to corrode in a field or left to rust in a dump somewhere, those fluids soak into the land and eventually seep down through our soil and imperative water supplies.
This brings us to the third – and maybe the most significant – environmental leg: prevention of pollution. Vehicle depollution -Before crushing and dismantling, WA Auto parts will ensure that all vehicles are professionally and sensitively de-polluted. It is a necessary first beat in our recycling story.
Our high-quality workmen then extract every drop of body fluid, car or motorcycle cavity into time-tested sealed vessels. These hazardous liquids are removed and collected by waste disposal specialists and disposed of or recycled under strict environmental regulations. If the car battery, containing paste made with lead and caustic acid, is removed carefully. Also existing are mercury switches that can be recycled that you may be able to find and remove from older models before contaminating the environment with this harmful neuro-toxin.
It is this decontamination process that is the ‘stop pollutant’ line for WA’s land and water. It is a methodical, invisible-in-plain-sight aspect of the process and yet one that requires expertise and serious commitment to environmental stewardship. With over 15 years of experience, we have this down to a science and every autorama(arc) that touches our yard is made totally inert as an environmental threat. The above commitment is a basic element of our sense of responsibility and duty to our own community – a commitment that spares no effort to protect from harm the very environment in which we all live and play.
Pillar 4 – Application beyond the immediate: WA Auto Parts and the circular economy
We’ve had a largely linear economy for decades: take, make, dispose. We take things out of the earth and turn them into products that we put in the trash. The environmental structual unsustainability of this model is known to everyone. The future lies in a circular economy — one that reduces waste and keeps resources in use for as long as possible.
And this is where the entire thing comes together. The cars wreckers play an important role as their leaders in automotive circular economy including companies like WA Auto Parts. We don’t see just end of life vehicle; we see multiple opportunities.
Our approach embodies the core principles of a circular economy:
Reuse: The first, and the one that saves the most energy, is reusing parts. We rescue these pieces from the landfill and as a result can offer unbeatable deals on all kinds of car parts! That, quite literally, is recycling at the highest level.
Recycle: The car’s body – While stripped of usable components, a car shell is not waste! It is a rich lode of raw material. Powerful magnets and sensors help separate the different metals and other materials in the crushed vehicle as it is shredded. That high-grade metal, as well as aluminum and plastic scrap before it, is sold to smelters and producers, giving old waste a new life as a marketable commodity.
Remanufacture: Some parts (say, engines or transmissions) can be automatically rebuilt to resale level. With new parts/components replacing those too-worn-to-be-useful at 80% of the cost of “OEM” (original equipment manufacturer) standards or makersʼ specifications for the vehicle owner/public. You receive product good as new and a lot greener on both the energy front and the resource frontier. We are one of the largest suppliers of these reusable components, which feed into the remanufacturing industry.
When we participate in this cycle of participation, production and consumption, we are creating a feedback loop that is healthy for the environment, good for the economy. It creates green jobs, affordable alternatives for auto repairs and reduces our country’s reliance on foreign raw materials.
