As the UK moves towards its 2050 Net Zero and Zero Avoidable Waste goals, the scrap car industry is playing a crucial role in cutting emissions and conserving resources. We explore how responsible vehicle recycling supports a cleaner, greener future and what these national targets mean for drivers, recyclers, and the wider automotive sector.
