Information about car recycling
Why is it worth recycling a car?
1. You act responsibly
A car that is left lying around can spill dangerous liquids into the environment. Therefore, in the worst case, excessive waiting can cause damage to the environment and even lead to punishment. So, please recycle your car on time.
By recycling the car at an official take-back point, you will receive a certificate of destruction, which guarantees that the car can no longer be registered for use in traffic and all liability of the owner ends, such as taxes and insurance premiums.
Car recycling doesn´t cost anything!
Recycling your car is easy and costs you nothing. The members of Finnish Car Recycling are car manufacturers and the importers of new and used vehicles, who are responsible for the costs of recycling.
2. Materials can be utilised
Up to 95% of the manufacturing materials of a recycled car can be recovered. Some of the recovered parts can be reused as spare parts and some can be given a new life in the form of reuse. Recycling and reused materials save our natural resources.
3. The environment will thank you
In the recycling system maintained by Finnish Car Recycling Ltd, the car is recycled environmentally friendly and saving nature.
When the car is recycled through an official take-back point, the recycling process is always managed in the best possible way in terms of the environment.
A recycled car no longer burdens or endangers the environment.
Choose the official take-back point
All take-back points, pre-treatment points and shredding for end-of-life vehicles that are part of the Finnish Car Recycling network have an environmental permit.
