How Does Scrapping Vehicles  Contribute To A Healthier Environment?

Summary

Introduction:

In this technology driven world, Pollution has become a serious concern. Pollution is transforming the way ecosystems are Functioning. 

When these redundant vehicles are dumped irresponsibly, the hazardous substances are released into the environment leading to pollution and climate change. As older vehicles are polluting, it is advisable to scrap them for a healthier environment. Older and polluting vehicles should not be used for a longer time as they emit 40 times more pollutants than new vehicles. Along with the harmful metals, the gases which are released from these old vehicles are not allowing the heat to escape from the atmosphere. This results in making our planet hotter.

Using older vehicles for an extended period of time can cause air, water and soil pollution. Scrapping vehicles promotes a clean environment by keeping a check on these pollutions.

What Does Scrapping Older Vehicles Include?

De-pollution

Dismantling

Recycling

De-pollution: The hazardous fluids are safely removed from the vehicle. These fluids can cause great damage if handled irresponsibly. This is an important step in the process of scrapping old vehicles.

Dismantling: The next step is to dismantle the vehicle into various material components. These components are sorted for further recycling.

Recycling: The dismantled components are recycled for further use. This lowers the demand for raw materials, fostering a circular economy. 

How Does Scrapping Contribute To A Healthier Environment?

Dismantling vehicles responsibly can significantly benefit our environment by promoting cleanliness and sustainability. Here are some ways we contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment through our practices

Reduction Of Emissions:

Older vehicles are highly polluting. Emissions coming from older vehicles occupy a major share of emissions present in the environment. Scrapping older vehicles can decrease the concentration of methane, nitrous oxide and other harmful gases present in the environment. Thus, scrapping these highly polluting older vehicles would contribute to a healthier environment. 

Lowering Carbon Footprint:

Older vehicles leave behind large quantities of carbon emissions in the environment. Older vehicles are less fuel efficient and so consume more fuel resulting in the emission of huge quantities of carbon dioxide. We can prevent an average of 1.7 tons of carbon dioxide for one ton of scrap metal. When we are committed towards reaching net zero emissions, older vehicles obstruct our way. Instead scrapping older vehicles can help us move closer to our target and promote a healthier environment.

Resource Conservation:

Scrapping vehicles promotes resource conservation. It saves up to 1.4 tons of iron and 0.4 tons of coal. The materials and components of older vehicles are reused, reducing the demand for raw materials. We should use the available resources instead of extracting virgin resources. Scrapping older vehicles also diminishes the harmful emissions that are released from extraction, mining and processing those materials promoting a clean and better environment.

Safe Disposal: 

Redundant vehicles should be dumped responsibly as they contain harmful metals such as Lead. These are dangerous. If they enter into the food chain, they affect human health. Besides these metals, there are some fluids such as coolant oil, engine oil, which can pollute water, making them unfit for drinking. Thus, scrapping older vehicles ensures a safe disposal contributing to a greener future.

Promoting Sustainable Transportation: 

Sustainable transportation is desirable for a healthier environment. When we are scrapping older and polluting vehicles, we are moving close to sustainable transportation. Scrapping older and polluting vehicles helps to provide sustainable transportation practices to our future generations.

Conserving Non-Renewable Resources: 

Resources such as petrol are non-renewable. These resources should be used wisely making them available for future generations. As scrapping involves recycling and reusing, we can conserve these resources and provide a resourceful environment to our future.

4. Summing Up:

Scrapping older and polluting vehicles is vital for a better and healthier environment. It also plays an important role in promoting sustainable practices in various ways. Scrapping enhances the way the valuable resources are reused. It also helps to promote self-reliance and lowers pollution. We should all be accountable and pass on a healthier environment for our future. If we neglect the way we handle our environment, our future will have a bad environment.
