About the Course
The automobile is already one of the most effectively recovered and recycled consumer products, with its parts being used again in vehicles or for other purposes. This introductory course offers students an overview of the processes involved in recycling vehicles, the technologies adopted and the typical machinery used within sector.
You will be able to:
Offer an understanding of what is meant by recycling, reuse, recovery and fraction.
Explain the differences between Ferrous and Non-Ferrous metals.
Highlight the typical ELV processing and recycling stages.
Provide an overview of the main types of recycling machinery.
Identify the main Automotive Waste Streams and understand what Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) is.
Show how machinery and technology separates and recovers different waste streams from shredder residue for recycling.
Who is this course suitable for?
This course is designed for anyone who needs general awareness of the vehicle dismantling and recycling industry.
This module is suitable for any delegate who requires summary knowledge and understanding of the processes involved, technologies adopted and machinery used, within the vehicle recycling sector.
No experience is needed to take part in this course, it is aimed at all levels within an organisation or company.
Suitable for operatives, technicians, supervisors and management.
Full Description:
The automobile is already one of the most effectively recovered and recycled consumer products, with its parts being used again in vehicles or for other purposes. The metals used in its manufacture are routinely recovered, reused and recycled to high levels. The challenge is to recover non-metallic parts to enable the very high levels required by law.
Course Objectives:
Understanding recycling, reuse, recovery and fraction.
Explaining the differences between Ferrous and Non-Ferrous metals.
Highlighting typical ELV processing and recycling stages.
Providing an overview of common recycling machinery, such as Balers and Shredders.
Identifying the main Automotive Waste Streams and understand what Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) is.
Demonstrating how machinery and technology separates and recovers different waste streams from shredder residue for recycling.
