Click here to listen in on the first session that went live June 10. This was the first of four live events that ARA will present as a series for automotive recyclers - which can be seen through Facebook and YouTube - to present Redman's DYNAMIC and ACTIONABLE strategies that are used by America's Toughest Warriors to bring success to the battlefield.

State Reopenings:
- Sixteen states have paused their reopening plans after experiencing dramatic increases in COVID-19 cases. Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington have all either halted or rolled back reopening plans. As of now, no state has reimplemented prior shelter-in-place orders.
COVID-19 Relief:
- A bipartisan group of senators are coming close to reaching an agreement to provide more aid to small businesses. The draft legislation would restart the Paycheck Protection Program and create a new type of long-term government-backed loan. However, banks are pushing back by warning Congress that they have “PPP fatigue” and do not want to deal with the added complexity of managing more government-backed loan programs. Banks have indicated that they would prefer that the government shift to a grant model rather than treating small business financial support as a loan.
- ARA recently put together a guide detailing important information relating to the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program. This guide is designed to assist your business in evaluating whether an EIDL is right for you. The guide provides background information on the EIDL program and also describes its costs and benefits. You can download it HERE.
Infrastructure:
- As House Democrats continue to press forward with their $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill, the White House has threatened to veto the bill. In a statement of administration policy, the Trump Administration strongly opposes the proposed bill for the following reasons: (1) it is biased against rural America; (2) it is almost entirely debt-financed; (3) it fails to tackle the issue of unnecessary permitting delays; (4) it is full of “wasteful ‘Green New Deal’ initiatives that would impede economic growth.” Senate Majority Leader McConnell echoed the White House’s sentiments by stating the bill would not be taken up by the Senate and that the bill was “drawn up to show fealty to the radical left.”
Automotive:
- Toyota Motor Corporation announced that its Japanese factories are expected to return to 90% of target output for July. Compared with the month of June (when 25 production lines closed), only six production lines will see suspensions during July.
- Last Thursday, California regulators approved a new rule mandating that truck manufacturers increase the proportion of electric trucks sold in the state through 2035. The rule will begin in 2024 and will require 5% to 9% of truck sales to be zero-emission models. The rule requires that by 2035, 55% of light trucks, 75% of medium and heavy-duty trucks, and 40% of tractor-trailers will have to be zero-emissions. For more information click here.
- Online used car retailer, Carvana, has recently launched a direct-purchase platform that will give independent and franchised dealers the ability to buy wholesale vehicles in online auctions using “timed bids.” The platform, called CarvanaACCESS, was co-developed by Carvana through a partnership with Manheim Auctions. The auctions will be accessible by registered dealers and other wholesale buyers.

get to know 21st century autoMOTIVE recycling
For over 75 years, the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) has represented professional automotive recyclers, a vibrant and thriving part of the automotive supply chain. ARA's mission is to advance the automotive recycling industry and promote its beneficial effects on society. ARA and its members are dedicated to the efficient removal and re-utilization of Recycled Original Equipment™ – which are genuine recycled original equipment™ manufactured (OEM) automotive parts – and the safe disposal of inoperable motor vehicles.
Automotive recyclers process over 12 million vehicles per year, making automobiles the most recycled item in the U.S. The automotive recycling industry is the 16th largest in the U.S., valued at an estimated $32 billion dollars annually. Automotive recycling businesses employ over 140,000 people at more than 9,000 locations around the country.

Resources FOR AUTOMOTIVE RECYCLERS
As the only international trade association representing the industry worldwide, ARA serves as the voice of approximately 4,000 auto recyclers as well as suppliers of equipment and services to the industry.
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
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.
