As automotive manufacturers are pressured to build more fuel efficient vehicles, more plastic parts are and will be integrated in the process to produce lighter weight cars. Every pound of plastic that is used in the manufacturing process, replaces 2 to 3 pounds of another material. A 10% reduction in the weight of a car will give you 6% better fuel economy. Plastic will no doubt play a huge role in the coming years in the manufacturing process in an effort to achieve better gas mileage for cars and trucks.

Think about this. Plastics in automobiles have contributed to reducing the weight of a vehicle by 500 to 750 pounds. That means there are roughly 300 pounds of plastic in each vehicle. That’s about 10% of the vehicle’s weight. Not only does the lightweight vehicle give you better fuel economy, it also reduces green house gases. This reduction in weight significantly reduces the total energy consumption over the life of the vehicle.

So what happens when these vehicles are in an accident and are in need of repair? They go to a collision center and have the repairs completed. You would expect to have some broken plastic parts that need to be replaced. Then what? What does a collision center do with these broken plastic parts? That’s where Green Earth Plastix can help. We take those parts and recycle them. We collect, sort and grind these parts into a regrind material and send to companies that can make other plastic parts. It is a great alternative than sending these plastic parts to the landfill where they will never decompose and live forever.

I suspect you think it’s a good idea to recycle plastic and be more “green” or eco-friendly when it comes to your business or home. We can help you recycle your plastic at your collision center and it will not cost you a penny to do it. That’s right, it won’t cost you anything. What will it cost if we don’t recycle? I bet you could save some money by not filling up that trash dumpster sitting out back as often or spending your money on a roll off container filled with bumpers and plastic collision waste.

This company was founded for the purpose of reducing the impact to the environment by recycling plastic parts that historically have been land-filled. You should not and will not have to pay a fee to recycle your plastic parts with Green Earth Plastix.
