| 摘要： | Household recycling is a huge part of everyday life. And salvage firm Synetiq claims to have supplied more than 1,200 salvaged doors to British Gas vehicles (mostly vans) and remanufactured brakes for over 100,000 vehicles per year (pictured bottom left and centre, p28). There is no doubt that today salvaged automotive parts are big business and have significant potential to save vehicle owners money, reduce waste and cut raw material usage and carbon emissions. The 40.4 million cars and 4.1 million vans (DfT figures 2019/20) on Britain's roads offer a rich source of parts, given there are around 122,000 road traffic collisions per year in the UK and large numbers of cars and vans reaching end of life. Not so rich is the commercial vehicle supply; there are only 501,500 heavy goods vehicles and 32,000 buses sharing the same roads. |
