data shows that as of the end of 2021, my country's motor vehicle ownership reached 395 million, of which 302 million were cars. At the same time, the number of scrapped motor vehicles is also increasing. In 2021, the theoretical number of scrapped old motor vehicles in my country has reached nearly 15 million.
Under what circumstances do vehicles need to be scrapped? In fact, there is no unified standard, but it is related to the type of vehicle and the nature of use. For example, private cars have no scrapping years, but are exempt from inspection within six years of purchase. After the car is inspected in the sixth year, it will be inspected every two years from six to ten years, every one year from ten to fifteen years, and every one every six years after more than fifteen years. At the same time, if your car has a mileage of more than 600,000 kilometers, it must be scrapped forcibly.
is a one-year inspection for trucks and taxis. Taxis have been forced to be scrapped for eight years. There are also school buses, rental vehicles, etc., and the scrapping period is different. If you want to know the scrapping years of your car, just check the back page of your motor vehicle license. Where did the scrapped cars go to
?
At present, the number of scrapped vehicles in my country is increasing year by year. So if our car is about to be scrapped, where should we deal with it? The answer is of course a formal scrapped vehicle recycling factory. Data from the Ministry of Commerce and the China Material Regeneration Association show that in 2020, there were about 18 million scrapped cars in my country, but only about 2.4 million were entered into a regular dismantling factory. Where did the remaining scrapped cars go?
reporter learned from the China Renewable Resources Association that according to market organization surveys in recent years, there are generally four directions for scrapped cars in my country. First, the formal dismantling factory is scrapped, about 35 to 38%, and second, the good condition of vehicles in first-tier cities flows to remote areas through various means, accounting for about 15%. Third, the society is silent, and zombie cars, leaving their own use accounts for about 10%. Fourth, about 33% of scrapped cars have entered illegal dismantling points.
Deputy Director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the Development Research Center of the State Council Chang Jiwen: Currently, the total amount of motor vehicles entering the formal recycling system is relatively low, which means that a considerable proportion of motor vehicles have entered the black channel.
The so-called black channel refers to the illegal dismantling of outlets. The reporter learned that the engine, transmission, front axle, rear axle and frame on scrapped vehicles are called five major assembly. Illegal dismantling outlets will purchase scrapped vehicles from car owners at a price higher than the regular dismantling factory, and then dismantle the five major assembly of the vehicle and sell them again on the market after a little processing.
Article 15 of my country's "Regulations on the Recycling of Scrapped Motor Vehicles" clearly stipulates that any unit or individual is prohibited from using the "five assembly" of scrapped motor vehicles and other parts to assemble motor vehicles, and the transaction of assembled motor vehicles is prohibited. However, during the investigation, the reporter found that the sale of illegal dismantling of car parts has become an open secret. When the reporter searched for dismantling the car engine on an e-commerce platform, hundreds of product information were displayed.
Secretary-General of scrapped vehicle recycling, dismantling and reuse branch of China Recycling Resources Association Zhang Ying: Five assembly is the core value of every motor vehicle. For car owners, the five assembly removed from the car are price tempting compared to new parts. The owner needs to wait a long time for replacing new parts, so the disassembled parts do have a certain advantage in the illegal maintenance process.
Dispose of scrapped motor vehicles at will. Severely pollute the environment.
Sold scrapped vehicles to illegal dismantling outlets for illegal dismantling, which not only violates relevant regulations, but also causes great pollution and damage to the environment.
In April last year, the Central Ecological Environment Protection Inspection Team received a report that a large number of environmental pollution problems in the motor vehicle dismantling industry were investigated and dealt with in Jinzhou, Liaoning, Chuzhou, Anhui, Anyang, Henan, Nanning, Guangxi, Xiantao, Hubei and other places.
These illegal dismantling points are mostly extensive open-air operations, without any pollution prevention and control facilities. All kinds of pollutants such as waste engine oil generated during the dismantling process are directly discharged into groundwater or seeped into the soil, causing great damage to the surrounding environment and the losses are immeasurable.
How to deal with scrapped motor vehicles for regular dismantling and recycling companies
It can be seen that illegal dismantling outlets will bring about a series of serious problems, and regular dismantling and recycling companies can completely avoid these problems. So, how do regular enterprises deal with scrapped motor vehicles?
Scrapped Car Recycling Factory staff introduced that when a scrapped car enters the factory, it must first be weighed, then check the frame number and other information. After confirming that it is correct, pre-treatment will be carried out, remove the battery and fuel tank, then remove the "five assembly" such as the front and rear axles, engines, and gearboxes, and finally decompose and crush the vehicle body and pack the briquet.
The waste oil and waste batteries generated during vehicle dismantling are all hazardous wastes and are stored in the dismantling plant for special sites. The wastewater generated during the dismantling process must also be centrally treated.
After the dismantling plant reporter saw that the "five assembly" and recyclable parts of the scrapped vehicles were completely removed according to national regulations, the scrapped vehicle recycling process also entered the last step of the car shell briquetting process. These shell briquettes will eventually return to the steel mill for re-furnace smelting and conduct resource regeneration cycles.
President of China Material Regeneration Association Xu Junxiang: Through our green industry supply chain, we can open up this, so that the value utilization rate of automobiles can be improved and its interests can be effectively improved.
Scrapped vehicles can also be "turned into treasure"
In addition to avoiding environmental pollution, regular dismantling and recycling companies can also turn these scrapped vehicles into treasure. Data shows that for every 10 million scrapped cars, 10.35 million tons of steel, 750,000 tons of non-ferrous metals, 900,000 tons of plastic, 750,000 tons of rubber, and 600,000 tons of glass can be recycled. If scrapped vehicles are properly processed, they can become a source of multiple materials, reducing resource waste.
Finally, we would like to remind everyone that if your car is about to be scrapped, you must hand it over to formal channels for dismantling. Do not sell it to remote areas or to individuals, and do not choose illegal dismantling outlets.
