Explore our scientific 4-stage depollution protocol that prevents hazardous freon gas, battery acids, and engine fluids from contaminating North India’s groundwater.

Behind the Industrial Shredder: How CarCrush24 Recycles 90%+ of Automotive Steel
Circularity

The Automotive Circular Economy

Every modern vehicle is an extraordinary reservoir of high-grade engineering materials. A single passenger car contains over 800 kg of structural steel, 150 kg of lightweight aluminium, 25 kg of electrical copper wiring, and high-value platinum/rhodium catalytic converters.

When end-of-life cars are dumped in unorganized yards, these valuable secondary minerals are degraded or lost. At CarCrush24, we feed over 90% of recovered materials directly back into domestic manufacturing—drastically cutting the need for primary iron ore mining.

The 4-Stage Scientific Depollution Cycle

Before any metal is shredded, our facility enforces a rigorous 4-stage depollution protocol:

  • Stage 1: Battery & Pyrotechnics Containment – Safe disconnection of lead-acid and EV lithium-ion battery packs and controlled neutralisation of airbag inflators.
  • Stage 2: Closed-Loop Fluid Evacuation – Vacuum extraction of engine oils, transmission fluids, brake fluids, and radiator glycols into bunded storage tanks.
  • Stage 3: Refrigerant Recovery – Automated recovery of Freon R134a and R1234yf greenhouse cooling gases with zero atmospheric leakage.
  • Stage 4: Dismantling & Shearing – Separation of tyres, windscreens, and plastic bumpers followed by heavy industrial hydraulic metal shearing.
