ARA and WPI Research Quantifies Carbon Footprint Reduction with Recycled OEM ParTS
ARA is proud to release the results of a groundbreaking research study conducted at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) that documents the significant greenhouse gas emissions saved when utilizing Recycled Original Equipment Manufactured (ROE) automotive parts. The study adds facts to the discussion of what professional automotive recyclers have known for decades – using recycled parts for repairs has proven to be a good economical decision as well as good for our environment.
Starting in 2023 and conducted throughout 2024, WPI researchers focused on 10 of the most common automotive parts from three classes of vehicles: a sedan, an SUV, and a pick-up truck. The following parts were analyzed: engine, transmission, front bumper, headlight, front door, wheel, fender, tailgate, hood, and door mirror. Using detailed compositions of these specific parts, researchers quantified the energy required to manufacture the parts and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with generating that energy.
“We are thrilled to release the results of this year-long study to the public,” said ARA Executive Director, Vince Edivan. “ARA members know the impact their businesses have on the environment through their day-to-day operations. ARA’s Certified Automotive Recycler (CAR) Program places great emphasis on processing end-of-life vehicles in an environmentally responsible manner. This is something our members take great pride in. Now we have quantifiable data to illustrate just how big of an environmental impact automotive recyclers have.”

What are roe® auto parts?
ROE – Recycled Original Equipment® auto parts are the very automotive parts manufactured by auto manufacturers with the exact "fit and finish" in their makes and models. When you need a repair on your car, whether it be mechanical or cosmetic, it makes SENSE, and saves you DOLLARS, to use recycled original equipment auto parts. #ask4ROE
ROE – Recycled Original Equipment® can include parts such as engines, transmissions, doors, switches, headlights, taillights, bumpers, and much more. There can be several hundred parts on each vehicle that can be recycled and reused. That keeps waste out of our landfills and prevents unnecessary reproduction within the industry.
|
To ensure that recycled original equipment (OEM) auto parts meet customer expectations, many automotive recyclers employ multi-step quality control procedures. Sophisticated technology and inventory management platforms allow recyclers to maximize their inventories and provide efficient service to their customers all over the world.
|
The Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) works to provide its members the training and certification needed to safely and responsibly remove undamaged components from the damaged vehicles they process.
