July 29, 2020 ARA Update to Recyclers
Congress:
On Monday, Senate Republicans unveiled their COVID-19 relief bill. If adopted, the bill will cost taxpayers $1 trillion, which is far less than the $3 trillion HEROES Act the Democratic House passed in May. The Republican Senate bill will include business liability protections, direct payments of $1,200 to individuals, new Paycheck Protection Program funds, and federal unemployment payments of $200 per week. It is worth noting that the Paycheck Protection Program provisions will only allow businesses with fewer than 300 employees that have seen revenues fall by more than 50% to apply for a second round of aid. The Republican Senate and Democratic House will only have until the end of next week to try and hammer out a bill prior to the Senate’s August recess.
Executive Branch:
The inspector general of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be reviewing the agency’s rollback of federal auto emissions standards. The inspector general will determine whether the EPA followed federal regulatory requirements when the EPA along with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revised auto emissions standards by only requiring 1.5% annual increases in fuel efficiency through 2026, which is a dramatic departure from the Obama administration’s rules requiring 5% annual improvements through 2025. The inspector general’s review comes after Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Tom Carper (D-DE) called for the emission rollback to be reviewed.
ARA:
ARA is pleased to announce the nomination of professional automotive recycler Nick Daurio of Daurio Auto Truck Inc. in Pueblo, Colorado to ARA’s Executive Committee. Nick will serve as the Executive Committee’s Secretary for 2020-2021. In the press release announcing Nick’s nomination, ARA’s Executive Director Sandy Blalock stated that “Nick like many of our members literally grew up working in his multi-generational family business… and his insights from many years of experience working in our industry will be an asset to the leadership and members of ARA.” For the full press release please click here.
ARA’s Board of Directors recently adopted an update to the association’s Strategic Plan, which will represent ARA’s current and future work. ARA's Strategic Plan is grounded in the Association's mission to advance the automotive recycling industry and promote its beneficial effects on society. The Strategic Plan identifies four strategic initiatives that are the means through which ARA plans to translate its vision into practice.
The strategic initiatives focus on branding, non-dues revenue, government advocacy, and education/certification/compliance. 2020 has been a game changer,” said ARA President, Scott Robertson. “During these challenging times and given the unprecedented impact that a global pandemic is having on all businesses and industries, the direction outlined in this Strategic Plan will help ARA continue to move forward. A lot of planning and strategic thought went into this document, designed to promote the professional automotive recyclers and their businesses for many years to come.” For the full press release please click here.
Industry News:
Last week at the Collision Industry Conference, a hot topic of conversation was that CARFAX has been getting vehicle repair estimate data. As of now, there is a leakage of vehicle repair estimate data somewhere in the supply chain. CCC, Mitchell, and PartsTrader have all come out and stated that they are not the source of the leak. The Society of Collision Repair Specialists is trying to find out the source of the leak.

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
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.
