Importance of recycling and remanufacturing of auto spare parts. Recycling & remanufacturing concept of used cars in India and Europe. How Indian companies can be benefited from the practices followed in Europe. Consumer awareness

GROWTH OF INDUSTRY
After de-licensing in the early nineties, the growth in the production and export of cars and two-wheelers has been spectacular. Next 10 years cars will reach production 6 million and two-wheelers will more than double, to cross 30 million. There will be corresponding increases in the numbers for commercial vehicles and some other categories. As newer vehicles appear, older vehicles reaching the end of economic life would need to be scrapped.

Advantages
Saves energy Reduces emissions Conserves resources Preserves precious foreign exchange Creates large avenues for employment.

BENEFITS OF RECYCLING
Automobiles are among the most recyclable of engineered goods. Offering rates of recovery up to 90%. Approximately 65%-- is high-grade steel. Aluminium accounts for another 7 to 8 per cent. Recycling one kilogram of aluminium saves 14 kilo watts of electrical energy, compared to producing virgin metal produced from bauxite.

BENEFITS OF RECYCLING
By efficient recycling, India can recover two million tonnes of steel, 180,000 tonnes of aluminium, 75,000 tonnes each of rubber and plastic, in addition to some other materials by 2020.
