Toyota Will Reuse, Recycle, And Repair Used Auto Parts
A new facility designed specifically to recycle cars and their batteries will be opened at Toyota’s Burnaston plant in the UK this autumn, with the manufacturer officially validating used car parts for the first time.
The firm announced its plans to create the first of a global series of ‘Toyota Circular Factories’ at Burnaston during a conference in Brussels yesterday. Initially capable of recycling 10,000 vehicles annually, the new plant will operate alongside the existing Corolla factory, which Toyota has confirmed will remain Burnaston’s principle activity.
According to a company statement, Toyota’s recycling efforts will be split into three core areas. These include reclaiming reusable vehicle components and parts, salvaging commodity items for remanufacturing, and recycling other materials.
