Week 8 - Recycling Cars

A major part of my design will include the fact that cars are being largely reduced on roads in an attempt to make more sustainable, more efficient and better vehicles for individuals and families. This reduction in personal transport on roads will cause an increase in public transport and new vehicles that will use hydrogen fuel rather than petrol. In an attempt to reduce the cars on the road and reduce the traffic in the inner city, underground and above ground car parks will be retro fitted to allow for other activities rather than cars. 

This reduction in fuel cars will mean the leftovers of many car bodies and parts. The government will pay for the buy back of these cars and use all available materials in the cars to recycle them for uses of people and the making of the new hydrogen powered vehicles. 

Australia discards up to 600,000 cars every year. 
Currently 75% of materials from cars at this stage will be able to be reduced. The steel recycled from these cars saves significant amounts of power every year.

Materials from cars like Steel, aluminium, mercury, iron, tires, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, gear oil, motor oil and antifreeze, car batteries and many other parts are recyclable.
