Auto recyclers in Canada do a lot of good for their communities and for the environment. Every year Canadian Auto Recyclers makes that point loud and clear to the world by showing a bit of the good work the industry has been doing. Last year, I was honoured to share my story along side so many great examples of innovation, creativity and respect for the environment. I’m looking forward to seeing what good work Canadian recyclers continue to do.

For much too long the recycling industry has operated in individual silos across the country. After Lecavalier Auto Parts appeared as a cover story in 2009’s Canadian Auto Recyclers it was apparent from the number of congratulatory calls we received that our industry is advancing as a national identity. We are now being given, by other sectors of the auto claims economy and the general driving public, the respect long overdue for the advancements our industry is making.

It was quite an honour to be featured on the second cover of Canadian Auto Recyclers. I didn’t look at it as a personal triumph in any way, but as a triumph for our industry overall. By celebrating the successes of our community we can educate and inform all the partners with whom we work and attract new ones as well. It is good to see our industry receiving external recognition for the accomplishments we have made together and to those we will create in the future.

When Carcone’s was selected to be featured on the inaugural cover of Canadian Auto Recyclers, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. After it was printed and distributed the calls kept coming in: from fellow recyclers, insurers and even from local schools. Nothing had ever been done prior to this of this magnitude to advance the image of our industry. I truly believe all our partners have a better understanding of who we as a group are, and the benefits we bring to the table.

Collectivement les recycleurs automobiles du Canada font beaucoup de bien pour l’environnement. C’est un fait que Canadian Auto Recyclers clame haut et fort chaque année en parlant de l’excellent travail fait dans l’industrie. L’année dernière, j’ai eu l’honneur de partager mon histoire aux côtés de plusieurs grands exemples d’innovation, de créativité et de respect de l’envrironnement. J’ai bien hâte de voir le bon travail que les recycleurs Canadiens continuent de faire.

Depuis beaucoup trop longtemps, l’industrie du recyclage automobile a fonctionné sans réelle cohésion à travers le pays. Après avoir fait la première page de l’édition 2009 du Canadian Auto Recyclers, les multiples messages de Pièces automobiles Lecavalier démontrent que notre industrie s’implante en tant qu’identité nationale. Nous bénéficions maintenant du respect longtemps attendu des autres acteurs économiques du secteur de l’automobile et du public en général grâce aux avancements réalisés.

C’était tout un honneur d’être présenté sur la page couverture de la deuxième édition de Canadian Auto Recyclers. Je ne le considère pas comme un triomphe personnel, mais un triomphe pour notre industrie dans son ensemble. En célébrant le succès de notre collectivité, nous pouvons éduquer et informer tous les partenaires avec lesquels nous travaillons et en attirer de nouveaux. Nous sommes satisfaits de la reconnaissance manifestée envers notre industrie pour les travaux que nous avons accomplis ensemble et, nous l’espérons, pour ceux que nous

Lorsque Carcone a été choisi pour figurer sur la couverture inaugurale du Canadian Auto Recyclers je n’étais pas tout à fait sûr à quoi m’attendre. Après l’impression et la distribution de l’article, nous avons reçu plusieurs demandes variées de recycleurs, de collègues, d’assureurs et même d’écoles locales. Rien n’avait été jamais fait d’une telle ampleur pour promouvoir l’image de notre industrie. Je crois sincèrement que tous nos partenaires ont une meilleure compréhension qui nous sommes en tant que groupe et des solutions constructives que nous proposons.

EDITOR’S NOTES MOT DE L’ÉDITEUR

What’s Next? Pour la suite? How do we bring auto recycling to even higher heights in the years to come?

W BY/PAR JOE RAYMENT

elcome to our fifth and I think our best issue of Canadian Auto Recyclers. It’s been an eventful year and I’ve had a chance to meet a lot of you. Someone raised an interesting point to me at the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling (IRT) in Quebec: there’s an opportunity in the industry for facilities to turn process improvement into high gear, so to speak. We hear the term “lean” thrown around a lot on the repair side of things, but much less so when it comes to recycling. To an extent, most of you are probably using the practice to one degree or another—it’s the philosophy of ongoing process improvement, eliminating waste where ever possible and streamlining everything, everywhere. Which doesn’t sound particularly revolutionary until you really get into the finer details. The results have been dramatic for the facilities I know that have looked into and participated in some of the existing lean training. If you haven’t already, you may want to consider making a few phone calls or checking into some of the training material already available. Or you may want to help further develop recyclingspecific solutions through the provincial and national associations. Canada already has an impressive reputation in the recycling world—let’s see if we can change the face of recycling again in 2011!

Comment amener le recyclage automobile vers des nouveaux sommets ?

ienvenue à notre cinquième et selon moi notre meilleure édition de Canadian Auto Recyclers. Ce fut une année mouvementée où j’ai eu la chance de voir beaucoup d’entre vous. Un point important a été mentionner durant la table ronde internationale des recycleurs automobiles (TRI) à Québec. L’industrie offre aux entreprises une opportunité pour l’amélioration des processus. On entend le terme “maigre “ à droite et à gauche ces jours-ci, mais pas souvent quand il s’agit de recyclage. La plupart d’entre vous le font probablement déjà. C’est la pratique de l’amélioration constante des processus d’élimination de déchets lorsque c’est possible. Ça ne semble pas particulièrement révolutionnaire jusqu’à ce qu’on entre vraiment dans les détails. Pour les entreprises que je connais qui se sont penchés sur la question et qui ont participé aux formations, les résultats ont été drastiques. Si ce n’est pas déjà fait, vous souhaiterez surement faire quelques appels ou vous regarder le matériel de formation déjà disponible. Si vous voulez aider à développer des solutions de recyclage spécifiques à travers les associations provinciales et nationales. Le Canada a une solide réputation mondiale dans le recyclage, voyons si nous pouvons de nouveau changer le visage de recyclage en 2011! JOE RAYMENT Editor Canadian Auto Recyclers Éditeur

UPDATES MISE À JOUR

ON THE GROW ARC and OARA are doing big things at their new Hamilton office. ARC, OARA and the majority of Canada’s OEM and government sponsored vehicle scrappage programs got a new home this year at 1447 Upper Ottawa Street in Hamilton, Ontario. The new office is nearly three times the size of the old one and designed to the organization’s particular needs. “We completely custom designed the place for our specs—the workstations, boardroom and multiple offices,” said ARC managing director Steve Fletcher. “We’ve added a total of 12 people now, and we’re sort of bursting at the seems again, but the space allows us to do that.” In addition to handling operations for ARC and OARA, the facility’s call centre offers bilingual service for Retire Your Ride, Ford’s Car Heaven, GM’s Cash for Clunkers and theTacoma and Windstar take back programs. As the programs are set up, the call centre allocates vehicles to participating members and manages the data and money flows for dealers, the public and recyclers. Part of the money ARC and OARA derive from recycling the vehicles goes to various association functions, including the call centre itself, as well as their considerable charitable donations. In the last 18 months, OARA has donated more than a $1 million to worthy causes with the help of the various scrappage programs. ARC and each of the provincial associations will also be

The added capacity and the success of the call centre has meant that they’ve been able to bring in more full-time staff, which allows the associations to achieve even better results. Now the associations are looking at bringing in other manufacturer programs. “It’s allowed us to talk to other manufacturers and incentive providers to say we’re custom set up to handle these things—ten phone lines, bilingual service, full web interface capabilities,” Fletcher said. “I think we’re really going to grow that part of the business.”

EN PLEINE CROISSANCE ARC et OARA font de grandes choses à leur nouveau bureau d’Hamilton. ARC, OARA et la majorité des OEM du Canada, et des programmes gouvernementaux de mise à la ferraille de véhicules ont obtenu une nouvelle maison cette année au 1447, rue Upper Ottawa, à Hamilton, en Ontario. Le nouveau bureau est près de trois fois la taille de l’ancien et conçut pour les besoins particuliers de l’organisation. « Nous avons conçu le bureau pour nos besoins, les stations de travail, la salle de réunion et des bureaux multiples », expliquait le directeur général ARC Steve Fletcher. « Nous avons ajouté un total de 12 personnes, et nous sommes en quelque sorte serrés, mais l’espace nous le permet ». En plus des opérations de manutention pour l’ARC et OARA, le centre d’appels de l’établissement offre un service bilingue pour Adieu bazou, Ford Car Heaven, Cash for Clunkers de GM et pour les programmes de reprise de Toyota et Windstar. Comme les programmes sont mis en place, le centre d’appel alloue des véhicules aux membres participants et gère les données et l’argent pour les concessionnaires, le public et les recycleurs. Une partie de l’argent d’ARC et d’OARA découlant du recyclage des véhicules va à des associations, comme le centre d’appel lui-même, ainsi que leurs dons de bienfaisance. Au cours des 18 derniers mois, OARA a fait don de plus d’un 1 million de dollars à de bonnes causes, grâce aux divers programmes de mises à la ferraille. ARC et les associations provinciales feront également des dons de charité en 2011. Cet ajout de capacité et le succès du centre d’appels a permis de recruter plus d’employés à temps plein, ce qui permet aux associations d’obtenir de meilleurs résultats. Les associations recherchent maintenant des programmes d’autres fabricants. canadianrecycler.ca

UPDATES MISE À JOUR

A Banner Bonne année Year for ARC pour ARC Canadian recyclers make a splash on the international scene.

Les recycleurs Canadians font un tappant sur la scène internationale.

was a great year for the national association of auto recyclers—the Automotive Recyclers of Canada. ARC continued its work with the Retire Your Ride program, updating the Code of Practice for Auto Recyclers with Environment Canada. This voluntary code (although mandatory for all recyclers participating in the national program) will be the one major legacy of the vehicle scrappage program, set to end on March 31, 2011. ARC will take full ownership of the code and will begin a process to continually update the document and ensure that the right motivators are in place for all auto recyclers to work toward the code outcomes. In addition to managing the code, ARC developed an online version of the code training and a DVD of the training for those without Internet access. We also hired and trained four regional auditors, and managed a contract with Environment Canada to have the auditors visit and re-visit the 350 auto recyclers signed up for Retire Your Ride. Almost universally the recyclers who were audited felt the code and audit were positive forces for their business and the industry. On the strength of the code and the audits, ARC is now working with several leading vehicle manufacturers to drive their vehicle retirement or vehicle take back programs on a national basis. This provides a steady flow of vehicles for recyclers to generate inventories to sell Green Parts; has provided financial support to run the associations; acts as a binding agent for ARC, its associations and members to work together; and has generated unprecedented media and government awareness. In September, ARC hosted the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling (IRT) in Québec City, firmly placing Canada’s stamp on the global auto recycling scene as a very active association. It was a great event that showcased Canadian auto recycling, our Quebec recycling facilities, and helped firmly put the IRT on a path of future successes. In October, ARC won the Trendsetter of the Year award and Affiliate Chapter of the Year award at the Automotive Recycles Association (ARA) annual convention in Austin, Texas. In addition, ARC was provided a prestigious time slot to make an hour-long presentation to the ARA delegates on all of the successes that ARC has been building. The Americans certainly knew Canadian recyclers are on the move up north.

était une grande année pour Automotive Recyclers of Canada, l’association nationale des recycleurs automobiles. ARC poursuivait son travail avec le programme Adieu bazou, en remaniant le Code des pratiques d’Environnement Canada pour les recycleurs automobiles. Ce code volontaire (bien qu’obligatoire pour ceux qui participent au programme national) sera l’héritage principal, laissé par le programme de mise à la ferraille de véhicules. Celui-ci s’achèvera le 31 mars 2011. ARC aura la pleine propriété du code et amorcera un processus de mise à jour continuel des documents, s’assurant de motiver les recycleurs automobiles par rapport au résultat obtenu grâce au code. L’ARC a de plus développé une version DVD et une version Internet de sa formation. Nous avons aussi embauché et formé quatre vérificateurs régionaux. Nous sommes en contrat avec Environnement Canada pour que les vérificateurs visitent les 350 recycleurs automobiles inscrits à Adieu bazou. Presque tous les recycleurs audités ont trouvé que le code et l’audit sont une chose favorable pour leur entreprise et pour l’industrie. S’appuyant sur le code et les audits, ARC travaille avec des constructeurs automobiles pour guider leurs programmes de retrait et de reprise de véhicule vers une structure nationale. Pour les recycleurs, cela permet un mouvement constant et génère des pièces (Green Parts) à vendre. De plus, ça a fourni un soutien financier aux associations; créer des liens pour l’ARC, ses associations et ses membres. Ça a aussi généré une médiatisation et une sensibilisation gouvernementale sans précédent. En septembre, l’ARC était hôte de la Table ronde internationale sur le recyclage automobile (TRI) à Québec. Cet événement positionnait fermement le Canada sur la scène mondiale du recyclage automobile. Ce fut un grand événement qui mettait en vedette nos installations de recyclage québécoises, ce qui a aidé à positionner le TRI sur la voie des succès futurs. En octobre, ARC a remporté le Trendsetter de l’année et le prix Affiliate Chapter au congrès annuel à Austin, Texas de l’Automotive Recycle Association (ARA). De plus, l’ARC s’est vu accordé un important temps d’une heure pour faire un exposé aux délégués ARA présentant les succès que l’ARC a connus. Les Américains ont certainement su qu’au Nord les recycleurs canadiens sont en mouvement.

LES ASSOCIATIONS PROVINCIALES

It’s been a busy year for Canadian automotive recycling organizations.

Ce fut une année bien remplie pour les associations de recycleurs.

Ontario (OARA) oara.com

ARA continued to roll out its marketing campaign that has consumers viewing the recycled parts industry in an entirely new light. Using the tag line “Good for the earth, good for your wallet, good for your vehicle,” OARA has re-branded recycled used parts as “Green Parts.” Now in its third year, the program has evolved using a topdown, bottom-up strategy that capitalizes on the marketing strengths of both the association and its local members. As an association, OARA is driving the Green Parts brand message to a mass audience through things like their website, their video production and a national advertising campaign in CAA magazine. But they’ve also developed a number of marketing tools that make it easy for members to grab on to the brand and execute it at the local level. OARA’s arsenal of local marketing tools includes brochures, posters, ad mats, trade show display units, a radio jingle and YouTube video. Most of the resources are available for members to download from a password-protected section of the OARA website and can be easily customized for their own use. With all of these items at their disposal, it’s easy for OARA members to go to market locally and elevate their whole brand profile. They’re no longer just the local scrap yard; they’ve become the go-to guys in town for this new environmentally conscious, cost-saving face of the industry. OARA has also licenced the logo to the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) association and its members, and they have recently signed an agreement with the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) to amend and adopt the logo for the US market.

ARA poursuit sa campagne publicitaire qui permet aux consommateurs de voir l’industrie des pièces recyclées sous un jour nouveau. Avec le slogan « Bon pour la terre, votre portefeuille, et votre véhicule », OARA a retapé l’image des pièces recyclées et réutilisées comme “Green Parts“. Présentement, dans sa troisième année, le programme a évolué, usant d’une stratégie top-down, bottom-up qui capitalise sur les points forts du marketing de l’association et de ses membres locaux. En tant qu’association, OARA véhicule le message de Green Parts à un public de masse par leur site web, une production vidéo et une campagne publicitaire nationale dans le magazine CAA. Ils ont également développé un certain nombre d’outils de marketing facilitant pour les membres de s’associer à la marque et de l’utiliser au niveau local. L’arsenal d’outils de marketing d’OARA comprend des brochures, affiches, napperons publicitaires, poste d’affichage, expositions, jingle radio et vidéo sur YouTube. La plupart des ressources peuvent être téléchargées par les membres à partir d’une section protégée du site OARA et peuvent être facilement personnalisées pour usage personnifié. Avec tous ces éléments à leur disposition, il est facile pour les membres OARA de publiciser localement et augmenter leur profil. Ce ne sont plus des dépôts de ferraille; ce sont les gars à connaitre dans cette période de souci environnemental et de réduction des coûts. OARA a également autorisé l’utilisation du logo de l’Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) par l’association et les membres. Ils ont récemment signé un accord avec l’Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) pour amender et adopter le logo pour le marché américain.

Alberta’s automotive recycling business continues to be stable, with new recyclers entering the field. Finding and retaining good staff continues to be a key challenge for recyclers. The Retire Your Ride, Ford Car Heaven and new GM programs have added to the importance of belonging to a professional association, and this is leading to new membership applications, particularly outside of the large urban centres. AARDA has increased its efforts to raise its profile in terms of promoting positive environmental recycling practices and making the public more aware of how its members contribute to an improved environment.

En Alberta, l’industrie du recyclage automobile reste stable, avec de nouveaux recycleurs qui s’y ajoutent. Trouver et conserver du personnel qualifié continue d’être un défi majeur. Les programmes Adieu bazou, Ford Car Heaven et de nouveaux programmes de GM ajoutent à l’importance des associations professionnelles, favorisant ainsi les nouvelles demandes d’adhésion, en particulier hors des grands centres urbains. AARDA augmente ses efforts pour promouvoir les pratiques de recyclage environnementales et conscientise le public au sujet des façons dont ses membres contribuent à une amélioration de l’environnement.

Atlantic Canada (ARAAC) araac.ca

The ARAAC association completed a remarkable transition in 2010, moving from an organization that could barely get a quorum to hold a meeting to having 90 per cent of its members to attend their latest meeting in Halifax. Improved communications and programs that have a real positive impact on the members is driving the change. The association also grew its membership by over 10 per cent and continues to receive requests for applications on a weekly basis. “We are a small association operating in the four Atlantic provinces, but we have captured the attention of our members and governments and media alike,” said current ARAAC president Derek Covey. “The bounce is back in our step in the association, and that makes it easier to add more benefits, more information and ultimately more members. We can thank ARC and the other recycling associations for sharing resources to help make this happen.”

ARAAC fait une transition remarquable en 2010, passant d’une organisation avec à peine assez de participation pour obtenir un quorum, à un taux de présence de 90 p. cent à Halifax lors de leur dernière réunion. L’amélioration des communications et des programmes a eu un impact positif sur les membres et a amené des changements. L’association a aussi augmenté son effectif de plus de 10 p. cent et continue de recevoir des demandes d’adhésion. « Nous sommes une petite association des quatre provinces atlantiques, mais nous avons attiré l’attention de nos membres, des gouvernements et des médias », a déclaré le président de ARAAC Derek Covey. « L’enthousiasme est de retour à l’association et ça rend les choses beaucoup plus facile ». « Nous remercions l’ARC et les autres associations de recycleurs pour leur partage de ressources et leur aide qui a permis de réaliser tout cela ».

British Columbia (B-CAR) ara.bc.ca

Unusually mild winter conditions resulted in a sharp decline in the demand for recycled parts in 2010. Fortunately, recyclers in BC are members of an association (the Automotive Retailers Association) that represents eight other sectors of the automotive industry. In 2010, the British Columbia Auto Recyclers teamed with the ARA’s collision repair division to form a liaison committee whose mandate it is to establish a guiding set of industry standards that will increase utilization and demand for recycled parts as well as reduce cycle times for repair facilities.

Les températures d’hivers exceptionnellement douces ont entraîné une forte baisse de la demande de pièces recyclées en 2010. Heureusement, les recycleurs en Colombie-Britannique sont membres d’une association (Automotive Retailers Association) qui représente huit autres secteurs de l’industrie automobile. En 2010, British Columbia Auto Recyclers a fait équipe avec la division Collision Réparation de l’ARA pour former un comité de liaison dont le mandat était d’établir un ensemble de lignes directrices des normes de l’industrie qui permettront d’accroître l’utilisation et la demande de pièces recyclées ainsi que de réduire le délai du cycle d’installation et de réparation.

Manitoba (ARM) arm.mb.ca

After many years of preparation and many hours of hard work by the automotive recyclers of Manitoba and by Manitoba Public Insurance, the new claims response system was successfully implemented on June 5th, 2010. The new electronic CRS will provide up-to-date pricing with greater accuracy and availability of parts while also reducing wait time for repair facilities and providing greater communications between MPI and the RCO (Recyclers Central Office). Après des années de préparatifs et longues heures de durs labeurs, l’Automotive Recyclers of Manitoba et la Manitoba Public Insurance, dévoilaient, le 5 juin 2010, leur nouveau système de réponse aux requêtes de prestations. Le nouveau SRR électronique fournit des prix à jour, avec plus de justesse sur la disponibilité des pièces tout en réduisant le temps d’attente pour l’installation et la réparation, assurant ainsi de meilleurs liens entre MPI et le RCO (Recycleurs Bureau Central).

Saskatchewan (SGI Salvage) sgi.sk.ca

It’s been a productive 2010 for SGI Salvage this year. We had a very successful industry meeting in April, which again strengthened the bond between Saskatchewan’s recyclers as well as their knowledge on the latest technology available to them. The organization continued to make advances with integrating Car-Part.com’s Checkmate system, which SGI rolled out in 2009. SGI also finished work on a new website in 2010. The new site allows for the sale of vehicles and related items. With Saskatchewan’s busy economy, the coming year looks like it will be similarly eventful. We hope to see you all at the next industry meeting this spring. 2010 fut une année productive pour les SIG Salvage. Nous avons eu une réunion de l’industrie en avril, qui a renforcé les liens entre les recycleurs saskatchewanais, augmentant leurs connaissances des dernières technologies disponibles. L’entreprise a continué de faire des progrès avec l’intégration du système Checkmate de Car-Part. com, que SGI déployait en 2009. En 2010, SGI terminait également son nouveau site. Celui-ci permet la vente de véhicules et d’articles connexes. Avec la forte économie saskatchewanaise, l’année qui vient sera sans doute aussi mouvementée. Nous espérons vous voir tous à la prochaine réunion de l’industrie au printemps.

ARPAC Reaches Deal Projet de certification on Non-Deployed des coussins gonflables Airbag Certification usagés non déployés

fter ten years of work and representations to different levels of government, a Ministerial Order came into effect on October 28, 2010 again permitting the sale by ARPAC members of used non-deployed front airbags for automobile repair in Quebec. The sale of used airbags has been prohibited in Quebec since 2001. A painstaking certification process for used non-deployed airbags has been developed by ARPAC, its partners and the SAAQ, and an agreement was reached on November 11, 2010 between the SAAQ and ARPAC for the start of a pilot project. The process is aimed at ensuring compatibility between the airbag and the receiving vehicle, the integrity of the airbags and monitoring of manufacturers’ recalls. In the coming months, training courses will begin for ARPAC members and sales of the first certified airbags are projected for the first quarter of 2011. 20

près dix années de travail et de représentations auprès des paliers gouvernementaux, un arrêté ministériel est entré en vigueur, le 28 octobre 2010, permettant à nouveau la vente par les membres de l’ARPAC des coussins gonflables frontaux non déployés pour la réparation automobile au Québec. On se rappelle que la vente des coussins gonflables usagés est interdite au Québec depuis 2001. Un minutieux processus de certification des coussins gonflables usagés non déployés a été élaboré par l’ARPAC, ses partenaires et la SAAQ, et une entente a été conclue le 11 novembre 2010 entre la SAAQ et l’ARPAC pour le démarrage d’un projet pilote. Le processus a pour but de s’assurer de la compatibilité entre le coussin gonflable et le véhicule receveur, de l’intégrité des coussins gonflables et du suivi en cas de rappel du manufacturier. Au cours des prochains mois, les cours de formation débuteront auprès des membres de l’ARPAC et la mise en vente des premiers coussins gonflables certifiés est prévue dans le premier trimestre de 2011.

AUDITS FOR EXCELLENCE

AUDITER POUR L’EXCELLENCE Ce que nous savons, après un an du programme acréditation environnementale pour l’ARC.

What we know after a year of ARC’s Environmental Accreditation Program.

n 2009, l’Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) obtenait un contrat pour 350 examens environnementaux chez les recycleurs impliqués dans le programme fédéral Adieu bazou. Un examen environnemental dans ce cas est défini comme une visite de deux à trois heures par un professionnel formé pour examiner la gestion du recycleur de matériaux dangereux dans le contexte des lois provinciales et fédérales. Les recycleurs automobiles qui ont participé à cette étude sont de St John’s, Terre-Neuve à Prince Rupert, de la ColombieBritannique et d’à peu près toutes les régions entre les deux. Colin McKean, directeur de Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association (AREA) en Colombie-Britannique, était chargé de former et de dirriger trois autres professionnels ainsi que de participer aux inspections. Patrick McMahon, du Nouveau-Brunswick, Alain Joyal, du Québec et Greg Thomas, de l’Ontario ont été embauchés avec Colin pour assurer l’implantation efficace et environnementale du code d’un océan à l’autre. Les inspecteurs ont de nombreuses années d’expérience et ils comprennent que leur travail est de fournir « sur place » l’éducation et les conseils sur l’amélioration des performances environnementales des entreprises de recyclage. Les inspecteurs visent à rendre le programme instructif et bénéfique. Ces examens furent un énorme défi et l’un des plus grands projets jamais entrepris par l’ARC, mais avec la possibilité d’augmenter les mises à la ferraille et les programmes de rappel (comme, Adieu bazou, Autos-o-ciel et Cash For Clunkers), la création d’un réseau national de recycleurs certifiés écologiques aura des retombées bénéfiques importantes pour le secteur. « Le programme national de certification des recycleurs automobile excédera 350 chantiers d’ici la fin [2010] avec un appui certain de l’industrie », selon Steve Fletcher, DG d’ARC.

n 2009, the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) won a contract to complete 350 environmental reviews at the automotive recyclers involved in the federal Retire Your Ride program. An environmental review in this case is defined as a two to three hour visit from a trained professional to review the recycler’s management of hazardous materials within the context of provincial and federal legislation. The automotive recyclers who participated in this review stretched from St John’s, Newfoundland to Prince Rupert, British Columbia and in just about every community between. Colin McKean, the manager of the Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association (AREA) in British Columbia, was contracted by ARC to train and coordinate three other professionals to share the load of the inspections. Patrick McMahon from New Brunswick, Alain Joyal from Quebec and Greg Thomas from Ontario were hired with Colin to ensure the ARC Environmental Code of Practice was delivered consistently and professionally from coast to coast. The inspectors have many years of experience and they understand that their job is to provide “on-site” education and guidance on how to improve the environmental performance of recyclers. The inspectors focused on making the program informative and beneficial. The reviews were an enormous challenge and one of the biggest projects ever undertaken by ARC, but with the possibility of a growing number of vehicle recovery programs (eg the Recycle Your Ride, Cash For Clunkers, and Car Heaven retirement programs, and the Tacoma and Windstar buyback programs), the establishment of a national network of environmentally certified recyclers will have important benefits to the sector in the future. “The national certification program for automotive recyclers will exceed 350 yards by the end of [2010] with overwhelming support from the industry,” said ARC managing director Steve Fletcher.

t started as a simple forum—an exchange of ideas and discussion of how the auto recycling industry could improve the business. Currently in its 5th round, the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling—IRT for short—has become a global phenomenon, uniting leaders and scholars in auto recycling, insurance, collision repair and government in one forum over the course of a few days. This year, the Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC) played host to the IRT in Québec City. Representatives from Canada, the US, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, Malaysia and more met to discuss the issues and challenges impacting the worldwide industry. The three-day event began on a high note, sparking new friendships and networking opportunities. Guests attended facility tours at Pièces D’autos Dumont Inc., a family-run business that also hosted the ARPAC convention the same week; Lecavalier Auto Parts, one of the oldest auto recycling facilities in Canada and a second-generation family business; and LKQ Pintendre Autos Inc., one of Canada’s largest auto recycling facilities. Each of the host facilities provided food and refreshments for the visitors with Pièces D’autos Dumont serving a delicious breakfast, Lecavalier offering hors d’oeuvres and locally made ice wine, and LKQ Pintendre finishing off the tours with a roast beef lunch. The day continued back at Hotel Plaza Québec with a social mixer, followed by a good night’s rest in preparation for the next day’s jam-packed schedule. 24

La Table Ronde Internationale sur le recyclage automobile (TRI), est devenue un phénomène mondial réunissant dirigeants, chercheurs, assureurs, carrossiers et gouvernement dans un même forum durant trois jours. Cette année, Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC) était hôte du TRI qui avait lieu à Québec. Des représentants du Canada, des É.U., du Japon, des Pays-Bas, du Royaume-Uni, de l’Australie, du Mexique et de la Malaisie étaient présents pour discuter des enjeux qui touchent l’industrie à travers le monde. L’événement a débuté en encourageant de nouvelles amitiés et occasions de réseautage. Les invités ont visité les installations de Pièces D’autos Dumont inc., une entreprise familiale qui accueillait également la convention ARPAC la même semaine; Pièces d’Automobiles Lecavalier, l’un des plus anciens recycleurs automobiles du Canada, ainsi que LKQ Pintendre Autos Inc, l’un des plus larges recycleurs du pays. Chacune des entreprises hôtes offrait aux visiteurs un repas et des rafraîchissements. Pièces d’Auto Dumont a servi un délicieux petit déjeuner, Lecavalier offrait des hors-d’oeuvre et du vin de glace local, et LKQ finissait la visite en offrant un rôti de boeuf pour souper. De retour à l’Hôtel Plaza Québec, une activité sociale suivie d’une bonne nuit de repos était au menu en prévision de l’horaire chargé du lendemain.

Day two consisted of global presentations and reports from the various regional and national associations in attendance. ARC chairman Ed MacDonald formally welcomed the group in the dialectics of each of the visiting countries. He also challenged the group. “The task of this meeting is for everyone to gain a world understanding of automotive recycling,” MacDonald said. During the association and country reports, speakers presented snapshots of the successes and challenges auto recycling has seen their regions recently.

split up into three groups to tour through old Québec, stopping to enjoy their appetizers, entrées and desserts at a different restaurant for each course. Day three of the IRT was the last day of the conference and the official roundtable discussion. During discussions, the group agreed to share the Green Parts name and logo, which are owned by ARPAC and OARA. Representatives from the ARA volunteered to share their knowledge on trademarking to help the various regions navigate the some times complicated terrain of establishing legal names and logos. All members of the discussion agreed that having an internationally recognized brand would be beneficial to the selling recycled parts’ environmental merits. Finally, Kasper Zom put the Netherlands’ name forward to host the next IRT in approximately 18 months (which, he cautioned, would be pending approval from the association). Both the ARA and the MAARA also put their names in to host future IRTs. “These meetings are very good for networking,” said the Auto Parts Recyclers Association of Australia’s David Nolan. “I learned a lot, especially during the tours of the facilities—it was really interesting to see how they work with the insurance companies.” AADCO Auto Parts’ Don Fraser was similarly delighted with how much he learned during the three-day conference. “This was the first IRT I have been to, so I went in with high expectations,” Fraser said. “All of my expectations were met due to the hard work put in by Steve Fletcher and the ARC board. The Sunday yard tours were great...Even the discussions on the bus were enlightening,” he continued. “Monday was packed with speakers, but every one had their time and made the most of it with informative topics.” 26

et la bouche. Divisés en trois groupes pour visiter le Vieux-Québec, ils arrêtaient prendre une entrée, un plat principal et un dessert dans un restaurant différent pour chaque service. La troisième journée de la conférence TRI était la dernière en ce qui concerne les discussions officielles de la table ronde. Au cours des discussions, le groupe a convenu de partager le nom et le logo Green Parts, qui appartiennent à l’ARPAC et OARA. Des représentants de l’ARA ont offert leur service en matière de dépôt de marque pour aider les différentes régions à naviguer les complexités de l’approbation d’un nom et d’un logo. Tous les membres présents ont convenu que posséder une marque reconnue internationalement serait bénéfique pour le mérite environnemental de la vente de pièces recyclées. En terminant, Kasper Zom a proposé les Pays-Bas comme hôte de la prochaine TRI qui se tiendra dans près de 18 mois (sous réserve d’approbation de l’association). ARA et MAARA se sont également proposé pour accueillir de prochaines TRI. « Ces rencontres sont excellentes pour le réseautage », a déclaré David Nolan d’Australie. « J’ai beaucoup appris, surtout pendant la visite des installations, c’était vraiment intéressant de voir comment ils travaillent avec les assureurs ». Don Fraser de AADCO Auto Parts était également ravi de ce qu’il a appris. « C’était ma première TRI, je suis arrivé avec des attentes très élevées », a déclaré M. Fraser. « Toutes mes attentes ont été comblées grâce au travail de Steve Fletcher et du conseil de l’ARC. Les visites de chantier étaient excellentes... Même les discussions dans l’autobus ont été instructives », a-t-il ajouté. « Il y avait beaucoup de conférenciers lundi, mais tous ont donné le meilleur d’eux-mêmes avec des sujets informatifs ».

AUSTRALIA

Looking up

ustralia’s automotive recycling industry is healthy and still has lots of room to grow. It is, however, operating in a period of significant political uncertainty in the country. In recent years, the ruling Labor Party has faced a dramatic slide in popularity, which was elected not long ago to replace the Liberal Party after their dramatic slide. Just two months before Australia’s most recent election, the Labour Party replaced their leader and hence Australia’s prime minister. Labor won a minority government—the first minority government in 77 years—which put the new leader in a difficult political position. David Nolan, of the Auto Parts Recyclers Association of Australia, described their prime minister as a post turtle. “If you drive down a country road and you see a turtle on a post, well that’s a post turtle,” Nolan said. “How do you define a post turtle? First of all, [if you’re a post turtle] you don’t know how you got there, but you know you didn’t get there by yourself. You know you don’t belong there. You don’t know what you’re going to do while you’re there. You sure as hell aren’t going anywhere. And you just wonder what sort of dumb idiot put you there.” During the last election, the Labor Party proposed their version of Retire Your Ride—the Cleaner Car Rebate—which began January 1, 2011. Households will receive a $2,000 toward a new vehicle by trading in their pre-1995 vehicle. This program is estimated to cost $394 million. There are 1,280 automotive recyclers in Australia who employ 3,460 people. The Australian industry is worth about $987 million a year and has grown by about 7.4 per cent in the last five years. “It’s interesting that the rate of growth in the vehicle fleet is only about two per cent,” Nolan said. “But the rate of growth in scrappage is about four per cent, so there’s an increasing rate of vehicles coming off the road.” Profit levels remain relatively high at 6.3 per cent (compared with 4.3 per cent for the new parts sector). Of Australian recyclers’ revenue, 57 per cent comes from used parts dealing, 33 per cent is dismantling and recycling, and five per cent is importing new and used car parts. The number of recycling facilities in Australia is trending down (they’ve lost about five per cent of facilities in the last five years). In spite of this, the industry remains very fragmented— almost all recycling facilities are independently owned. No single operator generates more than two per cent of the industry revenue and the top four players don’t generate more then five per cent of industry revenue. The industry has been slow to adopt new technologies such as computerized management systems, which, from Nolan’s perspective, means they still have a lot of room to grow. 28

AUSTRALIE

Vers du mieux L

’industrie australienne du recyclage automobile est en bonne santé et a encore beaucoup d’espace pour grandir. Elle opère cependant, dans une période d’incertitude politique importante pour le pays. Ces dernières années, le Parti Travailliste, élu pour remplacer le Parti Libéral en chute, a lui aussi, fait face à une chute de popularité spectaculaire. À peine deux mois avant les dernières élections, le Parti Travailliste a dû remplacer son dirigeant, le Premier Ministre Australien. Les Travaillistes ont gagné, avec le premier gouvernement minoritaire en 77 ans, ce qui plaçait le nouveau chef en mauvaise posture. David Nolan, de Auto Parts Recylers Association of Australia, décrivait son Premier Ministre comme une tortue en poste. « Si vous conduisez en campagne et vous voyez une tortue sur une tige, c’est une tortue en poste , expliquait Nolan. «Comment définir la tortue de poste? Tout d’abord [si vous êtes une tortue en poste] vous ne savez pas comment vous êtes arrivé là, vous savez que vous n’y êtes pas arrivé seul, et vous savez que vous n’êtes pas à votre place. Vous ne savez que faire pendant que vous y êtes, et vous êtes sûr de n’aller nulle part. Vous vous demandez quelle sorte d’idiot vous a placé là ». Au cours de la dernière campagne électorale, les Travaillistes ont proposé leur version de Adieu bazou, le « Cleaner Car Rebate » qui débutait en janvier 2011. Les ménages reçoivent 2000$ pour un véhicule neuf en échangeant leurs modèles antérieurs à 1995. Ce programme est estimé à 394 millions de dollars. Il y a 1280 entreprises de recyclage automobile en Australie qui emploient 3460 personnes. L’industrie australienne a une valeur d’environ 987 millions $ annuellement et a augmenté d’environ 7,4 p. cent au cours des cinq dernières années. « Notons que le taux de croissance du parc de véhicules est seulement d’environ deux p. cent, disait Nolan. « Le taux de croissance de la ferraille par contre est d’environ quatre p. cent, il y a donc un taux croissant des véhicules sortant des routes ». Les marges de bénéfice demeurent relativement élevées à 6,3 p. cent (contre 4,3 p. cent pour le secteur des nouvelles pièces). Des recettes provenant des recycleurs, 57 p. cent viennent de pièces réutilisées, 33 p. cent du démontage et du recyclage, et cinq p. cent de l’importation de pièces neuves et usagées. Le nombre d’entreprises de recyclage en Australie est à la baisse (ils en ont perdu environ cinq p. cent au cours des cinq dernières années). En dépit de cela, l’industrie reste très fragmentée, presque toutes les entreprises de recyclage sont des propriétés indépendantes. Aucun opérateur unique ne génère plus de deux p. cent des revenus de l’industrie et les quatre meilleurs joueurs ne génèrent pas plus de cinq p. cent des revenus de l’industrie. L’industrie a été lente à adopter de nouvelles technologies comme les systèmes de gestion informatisée ce qui, selon Nolan, signifie qu’ils ont encore beaucoup d’espace pour grandir.

alifornia has a population of about 40 million people. Which is to say that it’s a market that’s bigger than Canada. The auto recycling industry is connected by the State of California Auto Dismantlers Association (SCADA), who represent about 200 of the 1,200 licensed recyclers in the state. The membership is extremely diverse, including everything from large corporate members to the so-called “Mom and Pop” businesses. They’re evenly distributed between north and south parts of the state in urban, suburban and rural regions consisting of everything from desert, mountain to valley locations. SCADA offers a variety of benefits to its members, including member discounts on products and services, education programs and a member magazine (which recently featured photos from Canadian Auto Recyclers). Among their most attractive benefits, however, is their government relations program. It’s no secret that California has one of the most complicated and hard to navigate political landscapes on the continent, which SCADA engages with by working closely with legislature and regulatory agencies, and by being at the table on behalf of members when new legislation is drafted. The association is currently trying to tackle the problem of unregulated recycling businesses. For all intents and purposes, these are auto recyclers, but they manage to avoid much of the regulations that apply to traditional recyclers. These businesses include some of those that operate without a store front—selling online or through eBay. Until SCADA or the California government brings such businesses into the fold, they will continue to create an un-even playing field and pose potential environmental risks. SCADA has also developed a program for members called “Partners in the Solution.” The program seeks to improve members’ performance, increase regulatory compliance, meet standards, build relationships and recognize the facilities who’ve made the effort to do these things. SCADA developed the program in conjunction with the ARA, government agencies and environmental consultants. At the end of the day, Partners in the Solution established 39 standards to do with business and licensing (7), the environment (26) and safety (6). Participating members are audited by third-party professionals and are certified annually. The program has thus far been a success for SCADA; currently they have a participation rate of 91 per cent. The organization has also won several awards for the program, including ones from the California Unified Program Agencies and the Business Environmental Resource Center. They also recently won the Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award.

L’association essaie présentement de s’attaquer au problème des entreprises de recyclage non réglementées. En d’autres termes, ces recycleurs automobiles parviennent à éviter une grande partie de la réglementation qui s’applique aux entreprises de recyclage traditionnel. Parmi ces entreprises se trouvent celles qui non pas pignon sur rue, vendant en-ligne ou par le biais de Ebay.

exico and Japan have a relationship that dates back more than a century. Japanese soldiers fought along side Madero’s troops during the revolution, in fact. In light of this, it’s not surprising that when the country was looking for help in establishing an end-of-life vehicle (ELV) management program that they accepted Japan’s assistance. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is currently operating in Mexico to help establish a framework to keep vehicles within an environmentally responsible process as they’re taken off the road. There are currently about 18 million registered vehicles in Mexico, with one million new vehicles being sold annually and about 1.2 million used vehicles coming in from the US. No one knows how many ELVs Mexico actually has, but estimates put the number around 700,000. Similarly, they don’t know how many dismantlers are currently at work in the country. The best guess puts the average life span of a vehicle at about 20 years. When a vehicle comes off the road in Mexico, insurance companies will typically send it to a dismantler or a garage, who will in turn—to varying degrees—remove it’s usable parts before sending it on to a scrap collector or a shredder. If it’s the final user who’s charged with handling the ELV, they will some times send it directly to a shredder. Mexico also has a large problem with abandoned vehicles however, which become the responsibility of the state government. Those vehicles are sent to deposit yards, where they often remain for years. To help lay the groundwork for a more effective system of dealing with Mexico’s ELVs, JICA hopes to foster activity in the used parts business by emphasizing the financial and societal benefits of responsibly recycling vehicles. JICA is currently seeking answers to a number of questions, including how they can effectively connect Mexican dismantlers and what are good first steps to establishing an active auto recycling community. If you have a suggestion, you can contact JICA coordinator Mayumi Kawamoto at kawamoto.mx@gmail.com.

e Mexique et le Japon ont une relation qui remonte à plus d’un siècle. En fait, les soldats japonais se sont battus aux côtés des troupes de Madero pendant la révolution. Sachant cela, pas surprenant que lorsque le pays était à la recherche d’aide pour la création d’un programme de gestion des véhicules hors d’usage (VHU) il a accepté l’assistance du Japon. Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) travail présentement au Mexique pour aider à établir un processus environnemental pour les véhicules retirés de la circulation. Actuellement, il y a environ 18 millions de véhicules immatriculés au Mexique, avec un million de véhicules neufs vendus chaque année et environ 1,2 million de véhicules d’occasion en provenance des États-Unis. Personne ne sait combien il y a de VHU au Mexique, mais on estime le nombre à environ 700000. Ils ne savent pas non plus combien il y a de démolisseurs. La meilleure hypothèse place la durée de vie moyenne d’un véhicule à environ 20 ans. Quand un véhicule est retiré des routes, les compagnies d’assurance l’envoyent généralement à un démonteur ou dans un garage, qui à son tour va à, retirer les pièces réutilisables avant de l’envoyer à un récupérateur ou un déchiqueteur. Si, l’utilisateur final se charge de traiter le VHU, il l’envoit parfois directement à un broyeur. Le Mexique a également un problème avec les véhicules abandonnés qui deviennent, la responsabilité du gouvernement. Ces véhicules sont envoyés dans une cour où ils restent souvent pendant des années. Pour aider à jeter des bases d’un système de traitement des VHU plus efficace, JICA espère stimuler le secteur des pièces en insistant sur les avantages financiers et sociaux dun recyclage responsable les véhicules.

Stepping It Up Monter la barre

he United Kingdom is currently coming to terms with the European Union’s regulations surrounding vehicle recyclability. The regulations include putting design constraints on the car manufactures for materials they can use, designing cars to be more recyclable and improving the recycling processes. Under the regulations, EU countries were left to set their own directives with several recycling targets. By 2006, countries had to recycle or recover 85 per cent of vehicles (80 per cent recycling and five per cent recovery). By 2015, those numbers are set to rise to 95 per cent (85 per cent recycling and ten per cent recovery). In the UK, this has required vehicle manufacturers to establish a network of facilities to process ELVs at no cost to the last user. EU countries have a fair bit of leeway in just how they enact the regulations. In some countries, producers have had to pay a tax on new vehicles, which is used to pay the auto recycler to achieve the targets. In the UK however, the producers avoided the tax on the basis of the inherent value left in the ELVs. As a result, the UK’s approach to achieving the recycling targets is focused on the shredder activity as opposed to more labour-intensive parts stripping at the auto recyclers. The UK’s ELV regulations came into effect in 2003. In general terms, the legislation designated an ELV as hazardous waste from the time it left its last owner and passed the gate of the auto recycler’s facility. Auto recyclers therefore had to become licensed hazardous waste facilities. The requirements placed on the ELV processor fall into five categories: licensing and regulation of the facility; the infrastructure of the facility; the processing of the vehicle; the storage and disposal of hazardous waste; and the administration requirements of the de-registering the vehicle and reporting activity. These requirements have had several results for UK recyclers. Among them, facilities are now regularly inspected to ensure they meet requirements of the directives. There are currently about 1,500 authorized auto recycling facilities in the UK but also another 3,000 small car dismantlers that aren’t registered. This has been fostered by a loophole that allows vehicle owners to check a box saying they will self-scrap the vehicles, which has been used by the unauthorized operators to scrap vehicles. This loophole is set to be closed March 2011, after which the only legal way to scrap a vehicle will be through an authorized ELV centre. 34

e Royaume-Uni essaie de s’habituer à la réglementation de l’Union européenne, concernant la recyclabilité des véhicules. Le règlement comporte des contraintes conceptuelles visant les matériaux qu’ils peuvent utiliser, dans le but d’avoir des voitures plus recyclables et d’améliorer les procédés de recyclage. En vertu des règles, les pays de l’UE ont du fixer leurs propres directives avec des objectifs de divers. En 2006, les ils devaient recycler ou récupérer 85 p. cent des véhicules (80 p. cent de recyclage et 5 pour cent de récupération). En 2015, ces chiffres passeront à 95 pour cent (85 p. cent de recyclage de 10 p. cent de récupération). En GB, les constructeurs ont dû créer un réseau d’installations pour traiter les VHU sans frais pour l’utilisateur. Les pays de l’UE une grande marge de manœuvre pour appliquer les règles. Dans certains pays, les producteurs payent une taxe sur les véhicules neufs, qui est versée aux recycleurs dans le but d’atteindre les objectifs. En GB cependant, les producteurs ont évité de taxer en clament la valeur résiduelle du VHU. Par conséquent, pour arriver aux objectifs de recyclage, la GB préconise le déchiquetage, contrairement aux activités plus exigeantes de démontage de pièces chez les recycleurs.Les règles VHU de la GB sont entrées en vigueur en 2003. De façon générale, le texte législatif désigné un VHU comme étant un déchet dangereux à partir du moment ou il a quitter son propriétaire et est passé aux mains de l’entreprise de recyclage automobile. Les recycleurs ont donc dû obtenir une licence pour le traitement de produits dangereux. Les exigences envers ceux qui traitent les VHU se divisent en cinq catégories: licences et réglementation, l’infrastructure; traitement des véhicules, stockage et l’élimination des déchets dangereux, et l’administration de l’immatriculation des véhicules ainsi que les rapports d’activité. Ces exigences ont eu plusieurs résultats pour les recycleurs de GB. Entre autres, les équipements sont désormais inspectés afin de s’assurer qu’ils répondent aux exigences des directives. Il y a présentement près de 1.500 entreprises de recyclage autorisées en GB, et 3.000 démonteurs non enregistrées.

he Cash for Clunkers program hit US auto recyclers like a Tsunami, bringing in about 690,000 vehicles within a six week period. The results ran the gamut for recyclers. What is certain, however, is that it’s an experience the worldwide auto recycling industry can learn from. “Everything that occurs in all these countries’ [auto recycling industries] is almost universal,” said Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) executive vice president Michael Wilson. “We are having the same problems and it’s important for us to get together and come up with and share the information about what’s going on and [to] be able to form templates so we can go back and address those situations in our individual countries.” In the US, the entire multi-billion dollar program was set up in about a month, and auto recyclers were brought in just before the program went into effect. “They pulled us in about a week before and told us what their thought process was,” Wilson said. “And in that process I think we learned a lot about how important definitions are. Also, how important it is to outreach to agencies and so forth, even if they’re not regulating you. Try to take every opportunity to get in front of legislators, regulators and their staff to tell them about what the auto recycling community is.” Overall, recyclers had varying experiences with Cash for Clunkers. Self-serve operations and yards that specialized in trucks and SUVs came out well. The quality of vehicles was also a point of interest. “We had everything from Jaguars to other things that came in,” Wilson said. “[Which left] some people scratching their heads.” For some recyclers however it disrupted their business models. The vehicles came in en mass, completely overwhelming their capacity to effectively process the wave. Many recyclers stopped buying at auction while they worked through the back log. On the positive side, Wilson considers the program a net benefit in terms of industry PR. “It has been phenomenal the amount of milage that we have been able to get and all of it,” Wilson said. “Very, very positive...I was on the phone probably six hours a day with various newspapers and media outlets. And it gave us an opportunity to really educate all those folks.”

e programme Cash for Clunkers à frappé les recycleurs automobiles américains comme un tsunami, avec environ 690.000 de véhicules en six semaines. Les résultats furent variés. Chose certaine, c’est une expérience duquel l’industrie du recyclage automobile à travers le monde peut apprendre. « Ce qui arrive dans tous les pays [en recyclage automobile] est presque universel », a déclaré Michael Wilson, vice-président de Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) « Nous avons les mêmes problèmes, il est important de nous réunir pour partager des informations sur ce qui se passe et aussi d’être en créer des modèles type afin de pouvoir retourner en arrière et remédier aux problèmes dans nos différents pays ». Aux É-U, le programme de plusieurs milliards de dollars a été mis sur pieds en près d’un mois, et les recycleurs d’automobiles se sont réunis juste avant que le programme n’entre en vigueur. « Nous avons été amenés environ une semaine avant, et ils ont expliqué ce qu’ils pensaient, et je pense que nous avons beaucoup appris sur l’importance de bien définir, et sur l’importance de sensibiliser les agences et ainsi de suite, même si elles ne font pas la réglementation. Essayez de profiter de chaque occasion pour rencontrer les législateurs, pour leur parler de ce qu’est la communauté de recyclage automobile ». Dans l’ensemble, Cash for Clunkers a amener des expériences diverses. Les opérations libre-service et les chantiers spécialisés dans les camions et les VUS s’en sont bien sorti. La qualité des véhicules était aussi importante. « Il y avait de tout, même des Jaguars, a déclaré M. Wilson. « [Ce qui a fait des perplexes] » Pour d’autres, ça à perturbé leurs habitudes d’affaires. Les véhicules arrivaient en masse surchargeant, leur capacité de traitement. Plusieurs recycleurs ont cessé d’acheter aux enchères pendant qu’ils travaillaient, sur le surplus en arrière. Du côté positif, Wilson considère que le programme a apport. des bénéfices en termes de relation publiques. « C’est phénoménal ce que nous avons été en mesure de faire », a déclaré M. Wilson. « Très, très positive ... J’été au téléphone probablement six heures par jour avec divers journaux et médias. Ça nous a donné l’occasion de vraiment éduquer tous les gens. »

member and chair of the Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC), where he still sits on the board of directors. He’s a past president of the Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada and, until recently, he also represented the Atlantic region for the international Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA). When he left that role he took a seat in the ARA’s executive. Even still, particularly early on, it was a process to get into the swing of things at Maritime. “In ’88, it was non-automated,” he said. “There were no computers. We had to do stuff manually. It was literally six and one half employees”—one part-timer— “and things were pretty antiquated. We got all kinds of interesting surprises.” There was no loader, for example, and no hoists. That was when Ed started to get involved with industry associations. A lot of the challenges Maritime faced weren’t specific to their individual business. Other recyclers faced similar problems to Maritime’s, and some had solved them—the trick was getting everyone together to share solutions. As Ed found, recyclers are often more than happy to do that. “It’s the only industry I know where you can go to the competition or anywhere else and they invite you in to look at their ideas,

d’Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC), où il siège au conseil d’administration. Jusqu’à tout récemment il était le directeur régional pour Atlantique auprès de l’ARA. Il a quitté ce poste pour un siège exécutif à l’ARA. Au début, ça n’a pas été simple d’entrer dans le bain à la Maritime. « En 88, les choses n’étaient pas automatisées, il n’y avait pas d’ordinateurs. On devait faire les choses manuellement. Il fallait littéralement six employés et demi, avec un temps partiel parce que les choses étaient plutôt vétustes. Nous avons eu toute sorte de surprises intéressantes. Il n’y avait ni chargeurs, ni poulies par exemple ». C’est alors que Ed s’est impliqué auprès des associations. Un grand nombre des défis rencontrés chez Maritime n’étaient pas spécifiques à cette entreprise. D’autres recycleurs étaient confrontés à des problèmes semblables, et certains avaient trouvé des trucs. Il fallait rassembler tout le monde pour partager les solutions. Ed est d’accord pour dire que les recycleurs n’hésitent pas à partager. «C’est la seule industrie, selon moi, où la concurrence vous invite à vous pencher sur leurs idées ». Il y a beaucoup de créativité

“I consistently say that in another 50 years we’ll have it figured out. But I’m still not sure about that.” « J’ai toujours dit que dans 50 ans on aura tout compris, mais je n’en suis plus si sûr. » suggestions and the creative things that they have done,” Ed said. Which was part of the idea behind creating ARC: there’s a lot of creativity in the industry. Let’s use it to advance common interests. Similar to when Ed started at Maritime, it wasn’t always easy going at ARC in the early years. But they had persistence and a good idea, and slowly but surely the “association of associations” gained momentum. A lot of the ideals behind ARC—strength in numbers, industry cooperation and the value of sharing knowledge—were on prominent display in 2010 when ARC hosted the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling (IRT) in Québec City. Ed led the roundtable discussions and, with the skills of ARC managing director Steve Fletcher, played hosts to the world’s auto recycling industry. The event has been lauded as an outstanding industry success. A few months back Ed was appointed to the ARA’s executive, which puts him on track to take the role of president in a few years. The association is international, but has always been most active in the US. Ed’s appointment marks a big shift— it means there will be an increased push to engage the international community and draw from a wider range of experiences. It also means Ed will be taking his show—his enthusiasm, his jokes and his love of auto recycling—on the road. Expect to hear a lot more from him in years to come.

dans l’industrie, utilisons nos ressources pour promouvoir nos intérêts communs, c’est l’idée à la base de la création de l’ARC. Tout comme Ed, à ses débuts avec Maritime, ce n’était pas toujours facile dans les premiers temps de l’ARC, mais grâce à la persistance et aux bonnes idées, lentement mais sûrement « l’association des associations » a pris de l’ampleur. Un grand nombre des idéaux de l’ARC ont gagné en vigueur, comme la coopération et le partage des connaissances, mis de l’avant en 2010 lors de la Table Ronde Internationale de Recycleurs Automobiles (TRI). Ed a dirigé les discussions de la table ronde à l’aide des talents de Steve Fletcher, directeur administratif de l’ARC. Événement reconnue comme étant un grand succès pour l’industrie. Il y a quelques mois, Ed a été nommé à la direction de l’ARA, ce qui le met sur une bonne voie pour le rôle de président, dans quelques années. L’association est internationale, mais a toujours été plus active aux États-Unis. La nomination d’Ed marque un grand changement, cela signifie qu’il y aura un plus grand désir d’impliquer la communauté internationale et de tirer avantage de cet éventail d’expériences. Cela signifie également qu’Ed prendra son enthousiasme, son humour et son amour du recyclage sur la route avec lui. Attendez-vous à entendre parler de lui dans les années à venir.

ommunity are SGI’s Cheryl Hoimyr: a pillar of the industry.

ince Cheryl Hoimyr joined the automotive recycling sector, she’s become a major force in the industry. But when she began at Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) Salvage, it was just a temporary position. “I was originally in the audit department here at SGI and the manager in the finance division offered [the position in SGI Salvage] to me on just a short-term basis while someone was away,” Hoimyr said. That was almost 20 years ago. Once she came to recycling, it was hard to look back—the industry offered a lot of interesting opportunities and she became great friends with many of the people she met in the course of business. “It’s sort of a unique industry in that everybody shares information,” Hoimyr said. “I don’t think you would find competitors in any other industry sharing that kind of information more like collaborators rather than competitors.”

epuis que Cheryl Hoimyr a joint l’industrie du recyclage automobile, c’est un pilier. Pourtant lorsqu’elle a commencé au Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) Salvage, ce n’était qu’un poste temporaire. « À l’origine j’étais au service de vérification, le gestionnaire de la division des finances m’a offert [le poste à SGI Salvage] juste sur une base temporairecomme que quelqu’un était absent. » expliquait Hoimyr. C’était il y a 20 ans. Une fois dans le recyclage, c’était difficile de regarder en arrière, l’industrie offrait des opportunités intéressantes et elle s’est liée d’amitié avec la plupart des gens avec lesquels elle travaille. « C’est une industrie unique parce que tout le monde se partage les informations » a déclaré Hoimyr. « Je ne pense pas que vous trouveriez des compétiteurs dans d’autres industries qui partagent ce type d’informations, comme des collaborateurs plutôt que comme des concurrents ». 42

Saskatchewan doesn’t have a traditional provincial auto recycling association, so SGI often steps in to fill the role. Every spring they hold an industry meeting, which Hoimyr has been organizing for years. From Hoimyr’s perspective, fostering a community among recyclers is one of the most important things for keeping the industry strong. It’s also one of the areas that’s changed the most since she began at SGI Salvage. In 2003, SGI hosted the Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC) board meeting in Regina, which turned out to be a major milestone for the national organization. At that meeting, they set out a number of initiatives to revitalize ARC, including new vision and mission statements. It remains

Au printemps, ils font une réunion de l’industrie, que Hoimyr organise depuis des années. Du point de vue d’Hoimyr, favoriser une communauté parmi les recycleurs est l’une des choses les plus importantes pour maintenir une industrie forte. C’est aussi l’un des domaines qui a le plus changé depuis qu’elle est à SGI Salvage. En 2003, SGI a accueilli la réunion du conseil des recycleurs automobiles du Canada (ARC) à Regina, qui s’est avéré être une étape importante pour l’organisation nationale.

one of Hoimyr’s proudest moments in recycling. “It was something I felt that we actually contributed to ARC,” Hoimyr said. Within the national community, Saskatchewan remains a unique situation, and SGI’s position in that has allowed from some innovation. Recently, the organization made a big move to integrating Car-Part.com’s CheckMate management system, which allowed them to manage and distribute parts in the province faster and with less labour. Now that the system’s been in place for a little while, they’re starting to figure out its possibilities and it’s having a positive impact on recyclers’ bottom lines. They also just finished redesigning their website to streamline operations. What’s next on the horizon for SGI is anyone’s guess, but Cheryl seems interested in taking SGI further into the digital age. “At some point, we’ll probably be looking into ebusiness more,” she said. “That’s going to be quite a challenge for recycling. Every part is unique with it’s own description.” If Cheryl’s and the SGI team’s track record is any indication, they’re up to the task.

Au niveau national, la Saskatchewan demeure un cas unique, et la position de SGI a permis une certaine innovation. Récemment, l’organisation a fait un grand pas vers l’intégration des systèmes de gestion Car-Part.com CheckMate, ce qui leur a permis de gérer et de distribuer les pièces dans la province plus rapidement et avec moins de main d’oeuvre maintenant que le système a été mis en place pour un peu de temps, ils commencent à comprendre ses possibilités, et cela, à un impact positif sur les finances des recycleurs. Ils ont également tout juste de terminer la redessiner leur site internet pour rationaliser les opérations.

Growing by Design

n the business world if you aren’t working to grow your company, it won’t be long before you get left behind. This is a truth well understood by brothers Jeff and John Lanoue. That’s why ever since they purchased A&L Auto Recyclers from their father in 1991, they’ve been working hard to grow and improve their business. Sometimes the best ways to improve your business are also the most simple: “We get together with other non-competing facilities to [discuss] ways that we can improve all of our businesses,” said Jeff Lanoue. Of course talk is important, but what really counts is action: the action at A&L Auto Recyclers has been considerable. For example, in the past year they’ve expanded their business in Michigan, opening an auto parts warehouse and hiring a sales representative to handle the

ever growing flow of business that is coming to them from south of the border. Back in Canada, they’ve almost finished work on the building that’s going to house their considerable inventory of new OEM overruns, surplus and new aftermarket parts. They’ve also just approached their local town government about approving even further expansion to their self-serve “U Pullem” division. To top it all off, the team at A&L Auto Recyclers now proudly offers an even better selection of new parts. “We’re making deals with the manufacturers and aligning ourselves with other surplus buyers,” Lanoue said. With all this growth, the future is looking bright for one of southwestern Ontario’s largest and most ambitious auto recyclers.

As such, Fraser has taken the OARA Green Parts slogan to heart: “Good for the Earth. Good for your wallet. Good for your Vehicle.” That philosophy has been a driving force behind AADCO’s commitment to continuing to improve the facility’s environmental sustainability, Fraser said. Another important commitment AADCO has made to its customers is ensuring quality recycled parts by subjecting every piece to numerous quality checks from skilled employees. From the initial inspection by the dismantler to the careful preparation for shipment, AADCO’s parts are handled with extreme care and are continually examined to make sure the part matches the description on the invoice. “All of our parts are quality tested and tracked to ensure the best quality product is the only product that reaches our customers.”

AADCO Auto Parts

ADCO Auto Parts has been a strong believer in green, recycled auto parts since first opening its doors in 1999. “Our main goal is satisfying our customers with the availability of green automotive parts,” AADCO Auto Parts’ owner Don Fraser explained. “It has become a huge part of our industry. The idea of using recycled automotive parts not only helps the environment it also helps our customers.” AADCO, located at 38 Hansen Road South, Brampton, Ontario, features an 87,000 sq. ft. facility. All of AADCO’s dismantling and parts storage is indoors. The facility has been committed to providing quality recycled OEM parts for practically anything and everything since entering the industry. Because its primary business is the sale of recycled OEM parts to collisions and mechanical repair facilities, it is important to AADCO and Fraser to always “think green” and be very conscience of their environmental responsibilities. “I think that’s the mark today of a professional recycling business: considering yourself an environ-

Despite the large number of vehicles, the staff remains diligent and detail-oriented with each and every car, guaranteeing they meet or exceed environmental standards and practices. Consumers can be assured all vehicles entering the facility will be purged of hazardous mercury switches and toxic fluids. “We’re proud to be a part of a facility that maintains or exceeds environmental regulations,” Afana said. “We’re doing whatever we can to help preserve our environment.” For several years, Abe’s Auto Recycling has been involved with Car Heaven and the Mercury Switch-Out program.

It is “exciting times” for the industry, Thys said. “The industry is changing rapidly and with our sale to LKQ we are positioned for that change.” Their current fulfill rate is 80 per cent, which is considerably higher than the industry average, and their customer base includes about 15 per cent retail business. With the new systems in place there is very little waste at LKQ Action. For example, they ship a truck load of cores to Texas every week where a rebuilding facility makes use of virtually all of the parts—even aluminum wheels are smelted into ingots. Things are looking up for LKQ Action Auto Parts and they’re positioned to keep growing in 2011. The new infrastructure helps, but their lasting success all comes back to a relatively simple concept.

Know your customer

A fresh arrival for Arnprior Auto Parts—a 2010 Impala— ready for disassembly.

rnprior Ottawa Auto Parts has been in operation in the Ottawa Valley for just about 44 years now. They’ve had a lot of time to get to know their customers and the area—to put it mildly—which has been integral to the recycling business’s success. “Purchasing the right vehicles is key to producing sales,” said Arnprior vice president Alan Aumont. For Arnprior’s customers, the right vehicles tend to be newer models, which they’ve come to know the old fashion way. “We can rely on reports to tell us which ones we should bring in,” Alan said. “Although, we’re hands on—we pretty well have a good idea what we should be buying.” And they should—the family-owned business has had contributions from three generations of Aumonts and much of their staff have been with them for 20 years or more.

Arnprior first opened its doors in 1967 when Henry Aumont and his wife Norah founded the business. Alan and his twin brother Alvan later took over Arnprior and today the operation has 30 employees, including both Alan and Alvan’s sons. The facility, which operates on a 30-acre site, processes about 2,500 vehicles every year. They’ve seen quite a lot of success recently, particularly since Retire Your Ride came into effect. “It’s probably more than doubled the amount of vehicles that are coming into us,” Alan said. That volume will likely taper off as the various vehicle recycling programs draw to a close, but the long-term outlook for Arnprior is positive, particularly as the area they serve continues to grow. “The city is growing and it seems that we’re selling further out from our market,” Alan said. “We have a very, very positive outlook for the future.”

Good to be Green

ocated in Truro, Nova Scotia there is one auto recycler that really sees the value in going green. That’s why Blenkhorn’s Auto Recyclers is the only auto recycling facility in all of Atlantic Canada to be gold seal certified by the ARA. As Blenkhorn’s continues to implement more and more environmental policies and procedures, they’re providing a great example of how things that are good for the environment can also be good for the bottom line. For example, Blenkhorn’s has gone from processing about 600 cars a year in 2006, to around 900 cars this year. They largely attribute this gain to participating in things such as Retire Your Ride and the Toyota take back program. As of November 1st, 2010, Blenkhorn’s has also started participating in GM’s Cash for Clunkers program, which they expect will

bring them even more business. The environmental initiatives don’t stop there; about two years ago the team at Blenkhorn’s installed oil waste furnaces. This means that they are able to heat their 60,000 sq. ft. warehouse and workspace solely from oil recycled from the vehicles that they process on site. This saves them thousands of dollars a year in heating expenses. First opened by Sheldon Blenkhorn in 1965, Blenkhorn’s Auto Recycling now employs 22 people. On the starting line of the Blenkhorn roster are a number of Sheldon’s family: his wife Evelyn, daughter Shelley, son Paul, and grandchildren Gregory and Tanya all play important rolls in the day-to-day operations of one of Atlantic Canada’s most environmentally responsible auto recyclers.

on technology,” he says. “You still need that practical, hands-on approach.” The industry has taken notice of Maio’s efforts to keep his business on the cutting edge. Just last year he was appointed to OARA’s board of directors, making him it’s youngest member. “What I’ve learned from the last few months on the [OARA] board is blowing me away,” he said. “[It was amazing] just to sit on the IRT [International Round Table on Auto Recycling] and listen to experts from all over the world talk about auto recycling and all they’re doing and seeing that we, the Canadian yards, are leaders.” If innovation is one cornerstone of Boston Auto Wreckers, the other is pride. No matter how advanced the facility gets, the core mantra of their business will always stay the same: “We take apart great cars, we sell great parts, and we recycle the material doing our part to save the environment.”

BOSTON Auto Wreckers

“

I aspire to be an innovator,” says Mike Maio, owner and general manager of Boston Auto Wreckers. The over 40-year-old business operates from 113 McCormack Street, only a few miles away from Toronto’s downtown core. Maio took over the business five years ago and has made it his mission ever since to make Boston one of the most progressive recycling facilities in Canada. No where is their dedication to innovation more evident than in their environmental initiatives. Right now they’re in the midst of renovating their roof to allow for the addition of solar panels to make sure their environmental footprint is as small as possible. Boston also got on board early in the use of an electronic inventory system. It was a careful process though, especially in the early days when the technology was still developing. To this day Maio and the people at Boston know computers don’t replace experience. “You can’t just rely

Customers Come First

ichael Carcone, co-owner of a second-generation family business, Carcone’s Auto Recycling in Aurora, Ontario, credits a lot of the company’s success to employees who share his commitment to customer satisfaction, quality service and attention to detail. As it turns out, this commitment to excellence actually started some three decades back when Michael’s father, Tony, first established the company. The elder Carcone has since stepped down from the company and the next generation ownership includes Michael. “The challenges of doing business today are constantly changing and what once worked yesterday may not necessarily work tomorrow,” Michael said. “With the help of key individuals, growth, technology, and the willingness and ability to change, anything is possible moving forward. A large part of the success of any company is the people associated with that company. Here at Carcone’s we are fortunate to have a great number of key individuals that make it easier and more enjoyable every day.”

There might be even more key individuals to come as the company moves forward, according to Michael—Carcone’s Auto Recycling could over the long term ultimately expand its operations and workforce and are presently completing the plans on their new 10,000 sq. ft. facility, which should be complete for summer 2011. At present, the company operates from a 70,000 sq. ft. facility on 10 acres of land with 46 workers, warehousing, dismantling and wheel refinishing services. The company presently buys 1,800 late model vehicles each year and, as a result, has a stock of hundreds of thousands of parts that it can offer to customers who need even the hardest-to-find parts. “Right now our focus is maintaining what we have and building on our service and quality,” Michael said. “Growth is inevitable and it’s something we’re always looking at. In this industry, you can’t stand still anymore. You have to be constantly changing, constantly moving with the times, constantly updating—this is inevitable for success

Saving Time and Money Central Auto Truxx’s common-sense approach to expansion keeps more cash in everybody’s pockets. THOM BATOR

NEW PARTS

One example can be found in Central Auto’s attitude toward pricing parts. “We save money by not pricing parts in our search engine,” he said. “This is a costly and time-consuming process. Rather than spending all our time and resources pricing inventory—a cost we would have to pass on to buyers—we will match or beat any price in the industry. We call it the Central Auto Price Guarantee.” It’s this sort of attitude that is sure to drive growth in the industry, which is good for consumers and the environment alike. In the coming year the Central Auto team is planning even more expansion. Pretty soon they will offer wheel refinishing, crushing and wire recycling services as well. They intend to apply their cost saving attitude to these future ventures as well, ensuring that they can offer competitive prices for all their services.

CENTRAL Auto Truxx

xpansion has been a central force behind the development of Central Auto Truxx since it first opened its doors over 40 years ago. When the Kain family purchased the business that was to become Central Auto Truxx 15 years ago, it was an auto body shop. The Kains re-worked the space to make it into an auto recycling facility. Over the years, they’ve expanded considerably. It grew to include two locations in North Bay, Ontario, and then a new 30-acre facility in Sudbury. The three locations combine to give Central Auto Truxx a total of 70 acres of space to process vehicles and house their large inventory of late-model car and truck parts. Expansion can be expensive, and if you aren’t careful those expenses end up being passed on to the customer. According to Central Auto’s John Kain, there are some fairly common sense ways to limit spending.

One Step Ahead

he team at Covey’s Auto Recyclers in Blandford, Nova Scotia just passed a major milestone with their 50th anniversary this past June. There was no time to celebrate though. “Hopefully we’ll get to do something at some point, but we’ve just been too busy,” said owner Derek Covey. It’s no wonder that Covey has been too busy to organize a party: he’s a busy man. Not only does he run a 14-acre auto recycling facility that employs 13 people—one of the largest in Atlantic Canada— he also is involved with industry associations at the regional, national and international levels. Covey is president of the regional Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada, on the board of directors for the Auto Recyclers of Canada and is a regional director for the Automotive Recyclers Association. Covey’s positions within these organizations give him a great opportunity to stay ahead of the curve in terms of things such as new industry initiatives and new technologies.

Through his work with the organizations, Covey has learned that the sharing of information is not just good for his business, but for the industry as a whole. “Being involved with these associations is phenomenal,” Covey said. “We might be competitors, but the people that you meet in this business are just great. They really want to share.” The team at Covey’s Auto Recyclers offers a truly comprehensive service, where customers can search through an online database to find virtually any vehicle part. When customers finally put those parts to use in their vehicles, they can rest assured that they’ve bought from the right place. That’s because all in-house stock at Covey’s Auto Recyclers is guaranteed by a 91 day inhouse warranty. On top of all the work Covey does in the world of auto recycling, he’s also recently taken on a new and even more demanding position: “I have a 13 month old son named Max,” he said. “That’s my new job.”

Or if you prefer to pull your own parts, stop in and browse the thousands of vehicles on site. Dom’s Auto Parts also boasts an advanced computerized inventory system with one of the largest selection of parts in the business. On their website parts can be searched using the vehicle identification number or by vehicle year, make and model. New arrivals and rebuildable vehicles also can be viewed in real time at domsauto.com. Dom’s Auto Parts is also an active member of the recycling community. “We processed 410 Retire Your Ride and charity car vehicles this past year,” Vetere said. As part of the program, OARA members contribute $20 for every vehicle they take in to a charity of their choice. On April 9, 2010, Vetere invited the representatives of Autism Ontario–Durham Region, Clarington mayor Jim Abernethy and federal MP Mark Holland to present the chapter a cheque for $10,000—just one more piece in Dom’s ongoing advocacy for autism research and support.

DOM’S Auto Parts

om’s Auto Parts is one of the longest standing automotive recycling businesses in Canada—for over 50 years they have served the automotive community in Ontario. Following the steps of his grandfather, Dominic and his father Mickey continue to offer guaranteed quality of service and expertise. Dom’s is constantly seeking innovative ways to make auto recycling more efficient and at the same time more environmentally friendly. “We sell OEM recycled parts, which are tested, cleaned and guaranteed,” Vetere said. “Purchasing OEM recycled or used auto parts makes sense, not only for your wallet, but for the environment as well.” During the dismantling process all fluids, lubricants, tires, mercury and A/C refrigerants are removed, and then recycled or reused. Dom’s is a CAR-certified recycling facility through the ARA and an accredited recycler with OARA. Both the international and provincial certification programs conduct audited inspections for general business, environmental and safety standards. Within the 60 acre site lays their state-of-art dismantling facility and indoor warehousing. The highly

‘We love what we do and who we do it for’

illtop Auto Wreckers is a family-owned and operated auto-recycling business and has been since its inception in 1968. The Richmond Hill, Ontario facility provides quality automotive parts and service all across the province. “We love what we do and who we do it for—our customers,” Hilltop president Ron Mollicone said. “Our company and staff are always looking for ways to keep our customers coming back, and by selling quality parts, service and peace of mind with our warranty we are doing just that.” Customer service is Hilltop’s number one priority. Mollicone takes great pride in knowing that when customers call, an experienced sales representative will always greet them rather than an automated message. “We want customers to call and right away hear a live person that will help solve their automotive

needs,” Mollicone said. “We work hard to ensure our customers know they are in good hands when they come to us.” To show their dedication to their industry and to the environment as well, Hilltop is a proud member of the Automotive Recyclers Association, Clean Air Foundation and the Used Car Dealers Association of Ontario. Helping the environment is another reason why Mollicone and the entire Hilltop staff love what they do. “Recycling vehicles everyday with the environment in mind is a greatly satisfying.” Whether it is the fluids they extract or the metals and plastics they recycle, knowing that they are supplying their customer with quality recycled parts to repair their vehicles instead of going into landfills is what matters most. “It is a good feeling to help a great cause—the environment—for your future and for ours.”

A Family Tradition

or nearly half a century, McGregor Auto Parts has been the community of St Thomas, Ontario’s very own “House of 1001 parts.” Since Alexander McGregor first opened his doors in 1962, the business has always been a family affair. Alexander eventually passed the shop on to his son Jim. Now, two generations later, Alexander’s grandsons Tim and Jeff are continuing to build their family’s legacy. “It’s the same building that our grandfather built,” Jeff McGregor said. “But we’ve added on to it over the years.” What began as one main facility all those years ago has now grown to include a front repair shop with three bays and a dismantling shop with five bays. You can imagine that those five bays in the dismantling shop must be pretty busy, because the

team at McGregor Auto parts processes about 1,500 vehicles a year. Whether the McGregor team is repairing or dismantling a vehicle, protecting the environment is always a guiding principle. Mcgregor Auto Parts is striving to conquer all environmental issues thrown at recycling, including proper fluid removal and storage, and safely removing mercury switches. Tim and Jeff hope that one day they might be able to pass on the business they took on from their father in 2007. “We’ve both been in the business since we were 12, 13 years old,” Jeff said. “[Now] my oldest son is starting to do tires and cleanup. Hopefully we’ll one day see the business handed down to the fourth generation of McGregors.”

Using pictures and standardized ARA Damage Codes to depict the appearance of our parts has removed inaccuracy when verbally describing physical condition. “Imagery has added context to our business and has provided us a reliable medium to openly communicate with our customers,” Miller said. “Internet sales are here to stay, and we are happy to say we are aggressively pursuing new avenues to continue development of our online business. As a family and a company we embrace, look forward to and enjoy the challenge.”

MILLER’S Auto Recycling

ntering into their 59th year of recycling vehicles and reselling quality guaranteed used auto parts, Miller’s Auto Recycling has seen this industry grow from its infancy. It seems like the business changes with every new model year of vehicles to be released. The first mass production electric vehicle in 1996, the birth of the Prius Hybrid, boron steel and the integration of composite materials, alternative fuel vehicles and beyond, Miller’s is working every day to remain as relevant today as it was in the early fifties. Re-marketing auto parts to the collision and insurance industries for the past 60 years has been a phone call away; however over the past decade auto recyclers have been going through a major shift in the sale of their product. The Internet-based search has begun to replace the multiple phone calls made by collision managers, appraisers and retail customers. “With the continual development of inventory man-

orth Queen Auto Parts knows the importance of exceptional customer service. In fact, they’ve known it since they first opened their doors more than 50 years ago. “We are determined to focus a lot of our attention on our customers’ needs and quality control,” said Barb Sembay, North Queen’s human resources and sales associate. The third-generation family-owned and operated business is situated on a five-acre lot in Etobicoke, Ontario and has 20 employees, six of which are family including Barb’s two sisters, her cousin and owners Bob and Walter Sembay. The fully computerized facility is able to fill parts requests within seconds, and because they are a part of a North America wide used auto parts database, if they don’t have the particular part in stock, they can locate it within minutes. “All of our inventory is computerized and parts are placed in specific locations making it an easier and more efficient process,” Barb said. “We use trailers, racks, and even the vehicle itself.”

Specializing in foreign and domestic late-model auto parts and providing OEM and aftermarket body parts, North Queen Auto Parts recycles both end-of-life and insurance accident vehicles. “Once off the road, we are able to take the reusable parts and sell them to our customers for a fraction of the price,” Barb explained. As a leader in the industry, North Queen is committed to the fight in ensuring all irreparable vehicles go to certified automotive recycling facilities so that the vehicles are disassembled in an environmentally responsible manner. Because of this commitment, North Queen enthusiastically joined the Retire Your Ride program to help get high-polluting vehicles off the road. North Queen Auto Parts also sells rebuildable and certified used vehicles. It is this diversity that helps North Queen stand out from other facilities and ensures they will continue to lead the industry for another 50 years to come.

Pièces d’Autos Usagées Sherbrooke owners Patrick and Eric Veilleux.

New co-owners opt for tweaking rather than for overhauling company’s solid business strategy. IAN PALMER

A v e t e r a n o f t h e a u t o m o t i v e s e c t o r, E r i c started at Pièces d’Autos only about a year and a half ago. As such, the previous owners, who started the company in 1977, will stay on in an advisory capacity for the next year and a half to two years. According to Eric, any imminent changes at the company under his and Patrick’s co-ownership will probably only involve tweaking. “So far, strategy wise, everything looks good,” said Eric, who before becoming co-owner was the company’s sales manager. “So I don’t see why we would do major changes—probably a few adjustments.” An important adjustment, he explained, will involve doing more to assess the demand level for certain parts so that the company can unload what is not selling and stock up on what is. Patrick, who before becoming co-owner was the recycling yard manager, has a knack for that sort of thing according to Eric. They both have a knack for the business, in fact. Their extensive backgrounds in the automotive industry make them more than qualified to expand and innovate operations, and their commitment to preserving the business’s founding principles ensures Pièces d’Autos Usagées Sherbrooke’s continued success.

nder the control of new co-owners, Pièces d’Autos Usagées Sherbrooke is a secondgeneration recycling business intent on building upon the solid strategy of its founders. Patrick and Eric Veilleux, cousins who in December took over ownership of the Sherbrooke, Quebec-based company from Patrick’s parents, don’t anticipate having to make transformational changes…at least not right away. But they do plan to grow the company and, in doing so, put their indelible stamp on the business. “We’re happy with the focus as is, but we’re always looking for new opportunities to expand,” said Patrick, who has been involved in the business since his early teens. “Our main goal will be probably to do more exports and shipping all over the country.” Pièces d’Autos Usagées Sherbrooke is definitely off to a good start in terms of its growth objectives. In fact the 21-employee company is already a onestop-shop of sorts with its 18-acre recycling yard, which focuses on body panels, engines, transmissions and big parts installation, and its 500 sq. ft. warehouse, which focuses on sales, administration, shipping and small parts installation.

Selling service and quality above all else Comox Valley Auto Recyclers continues to set a standard for the industry with its commitment to the environment.

omox Valley Auto Recyclers has been working on being as environmentally friendly as possible since first opening its doors in 1993. Located in Courtenay on Vancouver Island, Comox Valley sits on 7.5 acres of land and has grown from a small three-person business to nine employees over the past 17 years. Owner Bob Edgar and general manager Jim LeBrun have worked together from day one to make Comox Valley an eco-friendly auto recycling facility. Edgar brought his talents from Calgary, while Jim brought his talents from the California auto recycling industry. By combining their strengths, they introduced a fresh, bold look and environmentally friendly attitude toward auto recycling on Vancouver Island. “We wanted to have the least amount of impact on the environment as possible,” LeBrun explained. Educating the public of the benefits of recycled auto parts is a daily responsibility for the staff. “We could just sell parts, but a better way is to sell the part and explain to

the buyer their monetary savings as well as the role they’re playing in helping save the environment,” Edgar explained. In 2007 Comox Valley joined Quality Recycled Parts of British Columbia. QRP of BC is a group of independent auto recyclers combining their talents to increase quality and bring customer service to a new level. “QRP of BC made sense for us,” LeBrun explained. “In this day and age, we need to group together to help control costs, increase purchasing power and learn new ways of looking at different aspects of the auto recycling industry.” Because employees receive continuous education, customers know they can go to any QRP recycler and receive the same level of quality service and parts. The technology used at Comox Valley may have changed, but one thing has remained consistent: “We don’t just sell parts,” LeBrun said. “We sell our service and quality first and foremost. Without service and quality, we wouldn’t have anything but a used part.”

Cumberland, Ontario’s Sonshine Auto Parts Inc sets a great example by exceeding environmental standards. THOM BATOR

But what really sets Sonshine Auto Parts apart isn’t how big it is or how many cars it processes, it’s how they process those cars. That’s because the company is dedicated to maintaining a completely toxin-free yard, a commitment that exceeds the criteria of the ARA’s Gold Seal standard. They accomplish this goal by rigorously ensuring that the vehicles they process are purged of all fuels, fluids and other toxins such as mercury. The team at Sonshine Auto Parts’ commitment to the environment is only surpassed by their commitment to their customers.

onshine Auto Parts has come a long way since its inception in 1993. Owner Denis Desjardins, with his 20 years of experience in the automotive industry, has been on the move. With his five year plan of building a state-of-theart recycling facility, Sonshine will cover nearly 80 acres of land. The expansion will allow the team at Sonshine Auto Parts to maintain an even larger inventory than they do at present, which is pretty impressive considering that they already process around 2,500 vehicles annually. Not only does Sonshine Auto Parts offer quality used auto parts, they now offer surplus parts. They have also constructed three new storage areas to store all their removed parts in a protected dry environment.

Standard Auto Wreckers goes for the Gold

s successful as Standard Auto Wreckers has been for more than three decades, co-owner David Gold acknowledges that the company his father founded can’t afford to act like an island unto itself. In fact, Gold uses his monthly column in Collision Repair Magazine as a platform to inform collision repairers, recyclers and others in the industry about the environmental and cost benefits of going green. “We’re really fighting for the same goal to facilitate the most economically feasible repair and these are things we’re always trying to preach,” he said. “We have a Green Parts campaign here—our association does. We try and highlight the proenvironmental benefits, the cost benefits and the value to collision repairers in using Green Parts.” The cost savings a repairer can realize by using recycled parts might, for instance, be significant

enough to save vehicles that might otherwise be written off. Standard’s flagship scrap processing and auto parts location in Scarborough, Ontario has been up and running since 1979. It processes anywhere from 400 to 500 vehicles weekly with contributions from around 120 employees. Their US location in Niagara Falls, New York, which they acquired six years ago, has around 40 workers. It is a warehousing and distribution centre for dismantling late-model vehicles acquired in America. Going forward, growth is a sure thing for the industry as long as they continue to cooperate with each other, Gold adds. “The better we as a group of recyclers do, the better off each of us are,” Gold said. “It’s like promotion advertising within itself—you do a good job and people will embrace your products. The growth is going to be there.”

Mary Poirier awarding the OARA bursary to Kristen Noack at her graduation.

ot only is the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) determined to help promote auto recycling throughout the province, they are also doing their part to help further the education of its direct member’s children and grandchildren. The OARA Foundation Committee, created to help its members and employees to lead fuller lives, provides post-secondary scholarship awards of $2,000 to students looking to further their education. In addition, the committee also helps out with compassionate funds on an as-needed basis, like a recent donation to the families of the employees hurt in a fire. Cathy Gullons and Pat Woelfle initially started the scholarship in 1999 as an independent project. “We wanted to do something to help the kids,” Gullons said of their fundraising efforts. For several years they held silent auctions, bake sales and other fund raisers to bring in the funds that helped numerous students reach their goals. “We started out with $5,000 that OARA had provided us and over the course of nine years had handed out 15 $1,000 scholarships,” Gullons said. After years of successful fundraising both Cathy and

Pat saw a need for the scholarship fund to grow larger than they were able to make it. It is with this need in mind that OARA executive director Steve Fletcher brought the fund under the association’s umbrella two years ago. With some help from the founders to learn how to give out the scholarships, Fletcher and the committee members have been able to give out even more scholarships. “We awarded $42,000 in scholarships last year alone,” OARA treasurer Mary Poirier said. “The scholarship fund has become a fairly significant thing for our members to share with their employees,” Fletcher added. This year a part of OARA’s membership renewal fees have gone toward increasing the available funds, and once again the association will hold a fund raiser at their annual convention. By offering these scholarships, OARA is not only helping students, but is promoting what they do by bringing the auto recycling industry to the foreground, Poirier explains. “This also gives our employees an opportunity to hold their heads up high and I am honoured to pick up the torch from the original ladies,” Poirier said.

alph’s Recycled Auto Parts in Vancouver reaches a major milestone in 2011—as the company will be celebrating their 50th anniversary in business. Started in 1961 by Ralph James, Ralph’s has grown to become one of BC’s largest auto recycler with five locations, including Richmond, Surrey and Abbotsford. In addition, Ralph’s operates Vancouver Core Supply, Western Canada’s biggest automotive core supplier. Ralph’s father Abe was one of the first to enter the industry in BC, having decided in 1915 that the dozen or so Model Ts his company was renting to the public would be more profitable broken down and sold for parts. Today Ralph’s dismantles over 7,000 vehicles a year and is one of the largest buyers of salvage from the government-owned Insurance Corporation of British Columbia. Ralph’s son Neil is very active in industry associations. Currently he is a director of the Automotive Retailers Association of BC, the Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association and the Automotive Recyclers of Canada. He’s also chairman of the BC Automotive Recyclers (B-CAR). Neil was also the chairman of B-CAR for five years and was twice president of ARC. Ralph’s has recently become involved in electronics recycling as well, with two of their locations operating as depots for Encorp, the non-profit organization that runs the electronic recycling program in BC. “We see this as a way to offer an additional environmental service to the public and generate new customers for our business,” Neil said.

This year’s Switch Out contest winners:

Lindsay Iron Metal

Lindsay Iron and Metal est le gagnant du grand prix ÉlimiMercure 2010!

BY/PAR SUMMERHILL IMPACT

indsay Iron and Metal is a company with an incredible story to tell. Located in Lindsay, Ontario the aptly named business was established in 1985 with the humble goal of preventing landfill overflow that was negatively impacting the community. Back then, five employees armed with a farm tractor and a vision set to removing recyclables from the local landfill. Flash forward to 2010 and this company has become an industry leader. Not only can they claim to be one of the first recycling businesses in Canada to own and operate a mobile baler, they have processed almost 5,000 tonnes of material in a peak year! The team at Lindsay Iron and Metal is also a dedicated Switch Out participant. Since they joined the program in 2008, they have consistently recovered hundreds of mercury switches. In fact, 2010 has been a particularly outstanding year with 247 mercury automotive convenience switches recovered along with their first ABS assembly. Because of their efforts, Lindsay Iron and Metal Inc secured themselves an additional contest ballot for far surpassing their 2009 mercury switch collection results. “Think about drinking from a thermometer,” said manager Heather Coutu when asked about what keeps the Lindsay Iron and Metal Inc team motivated to collect mercury switches. “We also tell the guys how much cooler it is to remove switches than to cut steel! It’s not that difficult, and it does make a difference.” Coutu went on to say that switch collection is economical noting that “even if recyclers don’t care about the groundwater, they should at least want to be able to sell their vehicles to the steel mills—which they won’t be able to do without taking the switches out, ergo loosing money.” This viewpoint embraces the positive movement within the steel market toward environmental behaviours. Lindsay Iron and Metal Inc demonstrates ongoing commitment to environment, complementing their incredible growth over the years. From their original mission to their exemplary participation in Switch Out, we offer a sincere thanks to Lindsay Iron and Metal Inc for all their efforts.

indsay Iron and Metal est une entreprise ayant un historique hors du commun. Située à Lindsay (Ontario), cette entreprise au nom judicieusement choisi a été fondée en 1985 avec l’objectif bien modeste de prévenir le débordement du site d’enfouissement qui produisait un impact négatif sur la collectivité. À cette époque, cinq employés équipés de tracteurs de ferme et enrichis d’une vision ont entrepris de retirer du site d’enfouissement local les matériaux que l’on pouvait recycler. Retour en 2010 : cette entreprise est aujourd’hui un leader de l’industrie. Non seulement peut-elle prétendre être une des premières entreprises de recyclage au Canada à posséder et utiliser une presse à compacter mobile, mais elle traite également près de 5 000 tonnes de matériaux dans une année prospère! L’équipe de Lindsay Iron and Metal est également un participant enthousiaste du programme ÉlimiMercure. Depuis son adhésion au programme en 2008, l’équipe s’est employée à récupérer avec empressement des centaines de commutateurs au mercure. En fait, 2010 a été une année particulièrement remarquable avec 247 commutateurs d’automobile au mercure récupérés avec leur premier système de freinage antibloclage (ABS). Grâce aux efforts de l’équipe, Lindsay Iron and Metal Inc a réussi à obtenir un bulletin de participation additionnel en dépassant largement ses résultats de collecte de commutateurs au mercure de 2009. Lorsqu’on lui demande ce qui motive l’équipe de Lindsay Iron and Metal Inc à récupérer les commutateurs au mercure, la directrice Heather Coutu répond que les employés n’ont qu’à imaginer ce que ce serait que de boire à partir d’un thermomètre. Elle dit également aux employés qu’il est beaucoup plus intéressant de retirer des commutateurs que de découper de l’acier! C’est une tâche très simple, qui fait toute la différence. Madame Coutu ajoute également que la récupération des commutateurs est une activité rentable, en précisant que même si les recycleurs ne sont pas préoccupés par la nappe d’eau souterraine, ils sont quand même intéressés à vendre leurs véhicules aux aciéries – ce qu’ils ne pourront plus faire s’ils ne retirent pas les commutateurs, avec les pertes financières que cela implique. Ce point de vue souscrit au mouvement positif au sein du marché de l’acier envers des comportements plus responsables sur le plan environnemental. Lindsay Iron and Metal Inc fait preuve d’un engagement permanent envers l’environnement tout en réussissant à maintenir une croissance soutenue au fil des années. En raison de sa mission d’origine et de sa participation exemplaire au programme ÉlimiMercure, nous tenons à remercier sincèrement Lindsay Iron and Metal Inc pour tous ses efforts.

MPI’s Secret Weapon

L’arme secrète de MPI

Automated database makes business more efficient for Manitoba recyclers.

Une base de données automatisée pour une meilleure efficacité chez les recycleurs manitobains.

unique automated parts locating system is making it easier and faster to recycle vehicle components in Manitoba, resulting in cost savings and reduced insurance premiums for the province’s drivers. “In 1991, Manitoba Public Insurance and the Automotive Recyclers of Manitoba established the Recycling Central Office (RCO) to source recycled auto parts to repair customers’ vehicles, and saved about half a million dollars that year,” said Ray Kroll, acting director of physical damage management at Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI). “Those savings have grown quite steadily and we now save more than $15 million annually.” Since June 2010, the savings facilitated by the RCO have been further enabled by an automated process called the “Claims Response System.” Insurance estimators enter their damage assessment into a handheld computer (pentablet) and electronically send the information to the RCO. That office, upon receiving the parts request, relays the information to their recycler members via the Claims Response System. “Recyclers connected to the RCO system see what parts are needed to repair the vehicle and they let us know if they can supply the required parts,” said RCO manager Tracy Lebedeff. “The claim is awarded to the recycler who has the most required parts available.” The recycler then has half an hour to price the parts. RCO closes the loop by sending the price information back to MPI. The entire process takes no more than a couple of hours and often ends with a reduced cost of vehicle repair as a result of the substituted recycled components. “Recyclers like this system because it is very fair,” Kroll said. “They can all view the parts request at exactly the same time and have equal opportunity to respond.” “There are no price wars,” Lebedeff added, “and the smaller recyclers don’t have to worry about being outbid by larger ones.”

n système de localisation automatisée de pièces facilite le recyclage des composantes de véhicule au Manitoba, ce qui entraîne des économies et réduit les primes d’assurances pour les conducteurs de la province. « En 1991, Manitoba Public Insurance et Automotive Recyclers of Manitoba ont créé le Recycling Central Office (RCO) pour s’approvisionner en pièces automobiles recyclées. Du coup, ils économisaient environ un demi-million de dollars cette année-là », a déclaré Ray Kroll, directeur par intérim de gestion des dégâts matériels pour Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI). « Ces économies sont constantes et nous économisons maintenant plus de 15 millions $ par année ». Depuis juin 2010, les économies favorisées par RCO sont renforcées par un processus automatisé, le « Claims Response System ». Les estimateurs entrent leur évaluation de dommages dans un ordinateur de poche (pentablet) qui transmet l’information à RCO. À la réception de la demande de pièce, celle-ci relaie l’information aux recycleurs via le Claims Response System. « Les recycleurs branchés au système RCO voient quelles pièces sont nécessaires et ils nous font savoir s’ils peuvent fournir », a déclaré le gérant de RCO, Tracy Lebedeff. « La demande est attribuée à l’entreprise qui a le plus de pièces disponibles ». Le recycleur a alors une demi-heure pour facturer les pièces. RCO ferme la boucle en réacheminant les prix à MPI. Tout le processus ne prend pas plus de quelques heures et se termine souvent par une réduction des coûts de réparation grâce aux composantes recyclées. « Les recycleurs aiment ce système parce qu’il est impartial », expliquait Kroll. « Ils peuvent tous voir la demande de pièces en même temps et ont des chances égales d’y répondre ». « Il n’y a pas de guerres de prix, et les petits recycleurs n’ont pas à craindre la surenchère des plus grands », a déclaré Lebedeff.

MPI accepts prices based on an agreed-upon percentage of the original equipment manufacturer’s suggested list price. “Body shops also like the system because they can make one quick call to the RCO and learn immediately if recycled parts are available and where,” said Adrian DeFolter, MPI’s manager of salvage operations. “And recyclers like it because the entire system is fully automated and stores everything in a central database. It’s much more efficient.” The RCO is administered by the Automotive Recyclers of Manitoba (ARM) and funded by MPI—one of the three publicly-owned auto insurance companies in Canada. With about 15 Manitoba recyclers participating in the RCO, all of whom can source parts from across North America, collision repair facilities working on MPI claims can draw on a steady and reliable stream of high-quality recycled parts. MPI uses recycled parts on vehicles older than one model year, or on any vehicle having more than 20,000km. “Customers have very few concerns about using recycled parts, especially when we explain the parts must be from a vehicle of the same year or newer than the one being repaired, and are fully guaranteed,” Kroll said. “In most other provinces, the body shop doing the repairs is responsible for the quality of the recycled parts it uses. In Manitoba, each recycler must warranty their product if they want to do business with Manitoba Public Insurance.” There are also systems in place to ensure the parts are up to standards. “The quality of parts is more controlled because members of the RCO must adhere to strict criteria,” DeFolter said. “If RCO didn’t exist, we would have to rely on body shops to source recycled parts where ever they could, and Manitoba Pub-

Pour les prix, MPI se base sur un pourcentage préalablement convenu, tiré d’une liste de prix suggéré par le fabricant d’origine. « Les ateliers de carrosserie aiment ce système, parce qu’il suffit d’un appel rapide à la RCO pour savoir quelles pièces recyclées sont disponibles et où elles sont. Ils aiment aussi ce système parce qu’il est entièrement automatisé et entrepose l’information dans une base de données centrale. C’est beaucoup plus efficace », affirmait Adrian DeFolter, directeur des opérations d’assistance chez MPI. Le RCO est administré par Automotive Recyclers of Manitoba (ARM) et financé par MPI, l’une des trois entreprises publiques en assurance automobile au Canada. Avec environ 15 recycleurs manitobains participant à la RCO, chacun pouvant s’approvisionner en pièces partout en Amérique du Nord, les ateliers de réparation qui travaillent sur des réclamations du MPI peuvent compter sur des entrées de pièces fiables et de haute qualité. MPI utilise des pièces recyclées provenant de modèle de plus d’une année, ou ayant plus de 20 000 km. Selon Kroll, « les clients sont très peu retissant à utiliser des pièces recyclées, surtout quand on explique que les pièces viennent d’un véhicule plus récent ou de même année, et sont entièrement garantis. Dans la plupart des autres provinces, l’atelier de carrosserie qui fait les réparations est responsable de la qualité des pièces utilisées. Au Manitoba, chaque recycleur doit garantir ses produits s’il veut faire affaires avec Manitoba Public Insurance ». Il existe également des mesures pour garantir que les pièces soient conformes aux normes. « La qualité des pièces est contrôlée; les membres de l’ACR doivent respecter des critères stricts », expliquait DeFolter. « Si RCO n’existait pas, nous

lic Insurance would have much less control over quality.” In the event a customer should have a complaint about a recycled component, they can contact an MPI specialist. This specialist will also become involved if a collision repairer has any difficulty receiving parts from the recycler, or has any concerns about the quality of recycled parts. Of course, the benefits of incorporating recycled parts into automobile repairs go beyond cost savings for the insurer and ultimately the customer (through reduced premiums). An equally important consideration is the environmental benefit. Recycling reduces air and water pollution, preserves natural resources, reduces the demand for landfill space, and reduces the incidence of abandoned vehicles scattered across the landscape. “Recyclers in Manitoba have to meet stringent local and provincial regulations on dealing with waste generated by salvaged automobiles,” Kroll explained. “For example, Freon and mercury have to be removed from vehicles and captured in appropriate ways.” ARM estimates that annual sales of recycled auto parts to the motoring public is approximately $100 million and that MPI claims account for approximately 20 per cent of that figure. ARM estimates that Manitoba actually achieves over 100 per cent recycling of its automobiles, as scrap vehicles from other provinces are sent to a shredder facility in Manitoba, which melts down what little is left of the vehicle after it has been dismantled for parts. “Manitoba Public Insurance has worked very closely with the RCO to develop and implement the technology behind the automated Claims Response System,” Kroll said. “Our improved system is benefitting our customers, the Manitoba LibertyTire_Half Page Ad_v2:Layout 1 12/10/10 9:04 AM environment, Page 1 and the provincial recycling industry.”

compterions sur les ateliers de carrosserie pour fournir les pièces recyclées et Manitoba Public Insurance aurait beaucoup moins de contrôle sur la qualité ». Dans le cas peu probable où un client voudrait déposer une plainte au sujet d’une composante recyclée, il peut contacter un spécialiste de MPI. Celui-ci s’implique également si un carrossier a de la difficulté à recevoir des pièces d’une entreprise de recyclage, ou en cas de doutes sur la qualité des pièces recyclées. Bien sûr, les avantages de l’intégration de pièces recyclées vont au-delà des économies pour l’assureur et le client (par le biais de primes réduites). Le recyclage réduit la pollution de l’air et de l’eau, préserve les ressources naturelles, réduit la demande en espace d’enfouissement, et réduit l’impact des véhicules abandonnés. « Les recycleurs sont soumis à une réglementation locale et provinciale stricte pour le traitement des déchets générés par les véhicules récupérés. Le fréon et le mercure doivent, par exemple, être retirés et captés de façon appropriés », expliquait M. Kroll. Selon ARM, les ventes annuelles de pièces automobiles recyclées sont d’environ 100 millions $. Les réclamations au MPI en représentent environ vingt pour cent. Selon ARM le Manitoba recycle plus de 100 pour cent de ses automobiles. Comme les épaves de véhicules d’autres provinces sont envoyées au Manitoba, pour être déchiquetées fondues, il ne reste plus grand-chose après démontage pour leurs pièces. « Manitoba Public Insurance a travaillé étroitement avec l’ACR sur la mise en œuvre de la technologie derrière le Claims Response System », expliquait M. Kroll. « Notre système est bénéfique pour nos clients, pour l’environnement et pour l’industrie du recyclage de la province ».

Associations: WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

Associations: COMMENT J’Y GAGNE?

BY/PAR IAN HOPE, executive director of the Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association (AARDA) directeur exécutif de l’Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association (AARDA)

hear it a lot: “why should I join the association?” and “what’s in it for me?” I’ve had to give these questions a lot of thought since taking on my new role with AARDA. Benefits of membership are both direct and indirect. While some of the benefits are more obvious than others, they can all be of real value to members. The direct benefits can, for example, include discounts that have been arranged for association members on everything from freight, banking services, insurance programs and fuel. They can also include concessions from suppliers and buyers that members deal with—as just one example, one of AARDA’s associate members has offered to waive the loading fee it charges to members on vehicle bodies. This has resulted in significant savings for our recycler members here in Alberta. Just as valuable though are the many indirect benefits. One that comes to mind immediately is the sharing of ideas and innovations. If you’ve ever attended one of the provincial associations’ annual conferences or an event organized by the Auto Recyclers of Canada (which you’re a member of if you’ve joined your provincial association), you will have witnessed first hand this exchange process. If you’re like me, you’ll return from your trip with new and effective processes and business ideas to implement. How much were those new and practical ideas worth? The notion that “information is power” was never truer than in the case of industry associations. Another significant benefit in the past few years has been the provincial associations’ and ARC’s influence in terms of establishing preferences to direct vehicles under the Retire Your Ride and Car Heaven programs into the yards of member businesses. This benefit will extend long into the future as governments continue their efforts to encourage Canadians to upgrade to more fuel-efficient and cleaner vehicles. This is just one example of how the recycler associations in Canada serve to make us stronger as an industry and to provide us with a public voice on issues that impact us directly and indirectly. Indeed, what ever strengthens us an industry is good for our individual businesses. I’ve come to realize that associations are reciprocal. They need their members and their members need them. I will continue to encourage everyone in our industry to not only join their provincial recycler associations but to contribute to them and help represent you and your business. Join your association, keep up your membership by paying your annual dues on time, volunteer and/or take a board position, attend the meetings and conferences, share ideas with other members, and most of all encourage others in the industry to take an interest and learn about their association and its activities. 80

’entends souvent : « Pourquoi devrais-je adhérer à cette association? » et « qu’estce que j’y gagne? » Depuis que j’ai entamé mes nouvelles fonctions à l’AARDA, j’ai porté une attention particulière à ces questions. Les avantages d’une adhésion sont à la fois directs et indirects. Bien que certains avantages soient plus évidents que d’autres, ils sont tous porteurs de valeurs réelles pour les membres. Les bénéfices directs peuvent par exemple inclure des réductions de coût, pour le chargements des marchandises, serIan Hope, vices bancaires, assurances ou même pour AARDA le carburant. Ils peuvent également inclure les services privilèges de fournisseurs et d’acheteurs qui traitent avec nos membres. Par exemple, un membre-associé de l’AARDA a offert de renoncer aux frais de chargement facturé aux membres sur les carrosseries de véhicules. Pour nos membres recycleurs en Alberta, cela représente des économies importantes. Les avantages indirects sont tout aussi précieux. Celui qui vient le plus rapidement en tête, c’est le partage des idées novatrices. Si vous avez déjà assisté à une conférence annuelle de l’association provinciale, ou à un événement organisé par Auto Recyclers of Canada (dont vous êtes membre si vous avez joint votre association provinciale), vous avez été témoins de tels échanges. Vous êtes probablement rentré de votre voyage rempli de nouveaux procédés et de nouvelles idées à mettre en œuvre. Quelle valeur ces idées nouvelles et pratiques ont-elles? Ici, l’adage « l’information c’est le pouvoir » est plus vrai que jamais. Les associations provinciales ont été un atout important, dans les dernières années. De même aussi a été l’influence de l’ARC dans l’établissement de directives pour véhicules, dans le cadre des programmes Adieu bazou et Auto-o-Ciel, chez les entreprises membres. Dans le futur, ces bénéfices se prolongeront, alors que les gouvernements poursuivent leurs efforts pour encourager les Canadiens à changer pour des véhicules plus propres et plus efficaces. Ceci n’est qu’un exemple de la façon dont les associations de recyclage canadiennes servent à rendre notre industrie plus forte. Elles nous donnent une voix publique sur les questions de recyclage et de développements futurs, qui nous touchent directement et indirectement. En effet, ce qui rend l’industrie plus forte, renforce aussi les entreprises individuelles. J’en suis venue à la conclusion que les associations agissent avec réciprocité. Elles ont besoin de leurs membres et leurs membres besoin d’elles. Je continuerais d’encourager les membres de notre industrie, à joindre leurs associations provinciales de recyclage, et à y contribuer pour aider à la représentation de leurs entreprises. Joignez-vous à votre association et conservez votre abonnement en payant votre cotisation à temps, soyez bénévole et/ou prenez un poste au conseil, assistez aux réunions et aux conférences. Partagez vos idées avec d’autres membres et surtout, encouragez le reste de l’industrie à développer un intérêt pour leur association et ses activités.

THE GREAT GREEN NORTH

Summerhill partners with auto recyclers to keep the true north strong and dump-site free.

LE GRAND NORD VERT

Summerhill partenaire des recycleurs automobiles pour un Nord fort et propre.

BY/PAR JANET TAYLOR, SUMMERHILL IMPACT

orthern Canada is home to some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes and sensitive ecosystems. Considering this vast beauty, it is no surprise that Canadians self-identify so closely with the idea of the true north: a place of strength, freedom and pristine nature. Unfortunately, this ideal is threatened by numerous unmanaged dump sites that are scattered throughout our north. Such sites are full of items such as vehicles, appliances and every day wastes that have been left to decay, polluting the air, ground and water with toxic and hazardous substances. Summerhill became aware of this crisis in late 2009 while investigating how to spread the Switch Out and Retire Your Ride programs to the territories, ensuring the incentives and environmental benefits were made available to all Canadians regardless of their distance from the self-appointed centre of the Earth, Toronto. At that time Summerhill realized not only that automotive recycling was almost completely absent as an industry in the north but that the economic challenges preventing the growth of the industry northward were also preventing the management of other products, effectively causing these dump sites. Faced with this problem, Summerhill turned to the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) for funding to conduct further research and begin engaging stakeholders who could point to a solution. And thus, the Stakeholders for Solutions initiative was born. 82

e nord du Canada abrite quelques-uns des paysages les plus époustouflants de la planète et des écosystèmes sensibles. Compte tenu de cette grande beauté, il n’est pas surprenant que les Canadiens s’identifient de si près avec l’idée du vrai nord: un lieu de force, de liberté et de nature pure. Malheureusement, cet idéal est menacé par les nombreuses décharges non gérées qui sont dispersées dans le Nord. Ces sites sont pleins d’articles tels que véhicules, appareils et déchets du quotidien qui ont été laissés à l’abandon, polluant l’air, le sol et l’eau avec des substances toxiques et dangereuses. En fin 2009 Summerhill prenait conscience de cette crise alors qu’il enquêtait sur la manière d’étendre les programmes Switch Out et Adieu bazou aux territoires, en assurant que les incitatifs et avantages environnementaux soient à la disposition de tous les Canadiens, quelque soit la distance de Toronto. À cette époque, Summerhill a réalisé non seulement que l’industrie du recyclage automobile était presque complètement absente dans le nord, mais que les défis économiques qui empêchent la croissance de l’industrie ont également empêché la gestion des autres produits, étant à l’origine de ces décharges. Face à ce problème, Summerhill se tourna vers l’Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) pour le financement de recherches plus poussées et pour commencer à faire participer les intervenants qui pourraient pointer vers une solution. Et ainsi, le groupe derrière l’initiative Solutions est né.

Thanks to OARA’s generosity and dedication to their industry, Summerhill was able to connect representatives from the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC), the recycling industry, federal and territorial governments, First Nations groups and northern community members in workshops designed to generate an actionable solution. The meeting, held in the Yukon, was a success, with invaluable input coming from all involved parties. Summerhill was able to use what they learned from this exercise to design a program that factors in the learnings from Stakeholders for Solutions and the northern context, while leveraging experience in managing large-scale environmental programs. The program will include education portions that will look to spread automotive depolluting and recycling best-practices to remote communities in an effort to prevent harmful contamination of the soil and drinking water. Looking to the future, Summerhill is seeking funding to kick off this work, aptly named the True North Project. Working with auto recyclers and other recycling industry experts, Summerhill is looking forward to keeping the true north strong and dump-site free.

La réunion, tenue dans le Yukon, était un succès, avec un apport précieux de tous les participants. Summerhill a pu utiliser ce qu’ils ont appris de cet exercice pour concevoir un programme tenant compte des leçons aprises des participants à Solutions et du contexte, tout en capitalisant sur l’expérience en gestion à grande échelle des programmes environnementaux. Le programme comprendra des formations pour répandre les pratiques d’excellence en dépollution et en recyclage automobile pour les communautés éloignées dans le but de prévenir la contamination dangereuse du sol et de l’eau potable. Quant au futur, Summerhill est à la recherche de financement pour lancer ce travail nommé projet True North. Travaillant avec les recycleurs automobiles et d’autres experts de l’industrie de recyclage, Summerhill se réjouit de la préservation d’un Nord fort et libre de site d’enfouissement.

Quality Quête de Quest qualité Le dilemme du controle de qualité.

The quandary of quality control. BY/PAR CLINT WILSON

hen I first opened my business at the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed age of 27, I had big dreams about quality control. I remember telling my wife, “I’m going to have an entire work station with bright lights, polishers, waxes, wire brushes, sand paper, paint, primer, window cleaner, solvent, cotton rags, etc. etc. and not one of my parts is going to go out without being thoroughly inspected and detailed to the nines!” In theory, I still feel this way. And I do have a nice detailing station, which we use daily. The reality of the situation however is that some times we all get busy or the yardman has an off day, or the delivery driver puts a suspension on top of a door glass or…well if you’re in the auto recycling business, I’m sure you know what I mean. But at the end of the day I still think that I—and many of my recycling friends—do a pretty good job at sending out a clean product. Also I preach quality control like the gospel to anyone who will listen. (Sorry, BC guys, if I keep meetings running too long sometimes.) So you can imagine my chagrin when I began hearing from collision and insurance industry insiders that the high plateau of quality we once occupied has been dropping like a basement-bound elevator. I confirmed this after I brought it up at a liaison meeting between BC recyclers and collision repair facility owners/managers just a few weeks before writing this article. After asking around and talking with my own brethren I found a theory that’s been forming as of late. I truly believe that the current economic downturn is causing many of us to send out parts that we wouldn’t normally try to pass 84

uand j’ai ouvert ma première entreprise à l’âge de 27 ans, j’avais de grands rêves en ce qui concerne le contrôle de la qualité. Je me souviens d’avoir dit à ma femme: « Je vais avoir un poste de travail très complet, avec lumières, lustreuses, cires, brosses métalliques, ponceuses, peintures, apprêts, nettoyants pour vitres, solvants, chiffons, etc., etc., et aucune de mes pièces ne sortira sans avoir été soigneusement inspectée et tirée à quatre épingles! » Je pense toujours de cette manière, et j’ai effectivement une belle station de travail. Pourtant, quelquefois il arrive que nous soyons occupés, ou que l’agent de triage soit en congé, ou que le livreur ait mis une suspension au-dessus d’une porte en verre ou autre chose. Si vous êtes dans l’industrie du recyclage automobile, je suis sûr que vous savez de quoi je parle. En fin de compte, je pense tout de même que mes compatriotes de l’industrie et moi, nous faisons du bon travail et que le produit final est bon. Je prêche le contrôle de la qualité comme l’Évangile à qui veut l’entendre. (Désolé, les gars en Colombie-Britannique, si mes réunions sont parfois interminables). Imaginez ma déception quand j’ai commencé à entendre des rumeurs dans l’industrie qui veulent que le standard ait baissé comme un ascenseur vers le sous-sol. Quelques semaines avant d’écrire cet article, j’ai confirmé les rumeurs après en avoir parlé à une réunion entre recycleurs et propriétaires d’installations de réparation en Colombie-Britannique. Après avoir posé la question à mes confrères, une théorie s’est formée. Je pense qu’à cause du ralentissement économique actuel, certains d’entre nous envoient des pièces que normalement nous ne

off on our worst enemies. Think about it: when the phones are ringing and the fur is flying, “Sorry this bumper cover has a little tear, I don’t think you’re going to like it, but I took the liberty of finding you one elsewhere. Would you like the yard’s number or shall I order it up for you?” Which really is the way it should be, at least when dealing on insurance claims. But when things grind to a halt, payroll stays the same, the price of salvage is through the roof and we’re all fighting over the same meagre table scraps “let’s throw it at the wall and see if it sticks” starts looking like a pretty attractive answer. Ninety-eight per cent of the people who have worked the counter in a recycling yard have been guilty of this at one time or another (and the other two per cent are liars). So what do we do about it? I hate to say it, but it’s pretty darn simple. Firstly we have to get out into our holding areas more often and look at the stuff we are shipping before it’s on the delivery truck. And for the parts that don’t pass your scrutiny? You all know that you can still sell them to rebuilders. If your sales are still hurting enough to want to try to pass less-thanperfect parts on to big quality collision facilities then you have to pick up the phone and represent your product accordingly. If they were never going to use your parts in the first place then now is the time they’ll tell you, saving both of you costs and hassles. But stay truthful and you will at least keep the lines of communication open. I find that trying to talk them out of using a part some times works best. If they are basically begging you to send the door with three hours on it because it’s the last one in existence, what do you think the chances are they’ll return it? I sell many damaged parts to large chain shops, and most of the time they like what they are getting; many times I am getting them out of a jam and—more importantly—they are not getting a Gomer Pyle. What’s a Gomer Pyle, you ask? Firstly you have to be old enough to remember the Jim Nabors character and his catch phrase. But you’ve all had one at one time or another. You order something from another recycler expecting a shining jewel and without warning a lump of coal with a turd stuck to it arrives at your door. “Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!” The term Gomer Pyle can also apply to a part that is returned to you without a phone call and usually sent collect freight just to rub a little salt into your wounds. That’s it in a nutshell folks. Do what you can and sell what you can to ride out the current economic storm, but keep the Gomer Pyles to a minimum by looking at your parts with both eyes, polishing what can be polished, and picking up the phone to accurately represent what can’t be. Your customer appreciates it.

passerions pas même à notre pire ennemi. Pensezy: lorsque les téléphones sonnent et que vous êtes dans le feu de l’action, « désolé, ce couvercle parechocs a une petite défectuosité, j’ai pris la liberté de vous en trouver un ailleurs. Souhaitez-vous le numéro du dépôt ou dois-je le commander pour vous? » C’est comme ça que les choses devraient se passer, du moins lorsqu’il s’agit de réclamations d’assurance. Par contre, quand le marché est paralysé, que les salaires restent les mêmes, que les prix de récupération sont élevés, l’approche « essayons voir si ça passe » devient attrayante. Quatre-vingt-huit pour cent des personnes qui travaillent au comptoir dans un chantier de recyclage sont coupables d’avoir essayé cette approche au moins une fois. Les autres deux pour cent sont des menteurs! Quoi faire à ce sujet? Je n’aime pas avoir à le dire, mais la solution est simple. D’abord, il faut sortir plus souvent pour regarder les choses que nous expédions avant qu’elles ne soient placées dans le camion de livraison. Et les pièces qui ne passent pas l’examen? Vous savez tous que vous pouvez toujours les vendre à des reconstructeurs. Si vos ventes sont encore trop mauvaises et que vous voulez continuer de passer des pièces imparfaites à de grandes installations, dans ce cas il faut prendre le téléphone et présenter votre produit comme il est. Si de toute façon ils n’auraient pas utiliser vos pièces, ils en profiteront pour vous le faire savoir, ça vous évitera du trouble. Restez honnête et vous entretiendrez de bons liens. Je trouve que parfois il est préférable de convaincre le client de ne pas utiliser certaines pièces. S’ils vous supplient d’envoyer la porte endommagée parce que c’est la seule qui reste, qu’elles sont les chances de retour selon vous? Je vends de nombreuses pièces endommagées à des magasins et à de grandes chaînes et la plupart du temps, ils aiment ce qu’ils reçoivent. Je les ai sorties du pétrin plusieurs fois, au moins avec moi ils n’ont pas affaire avec un « Anatole ». Qu’est-ce qu’un Anatole? Pour savoir, vous devez être assez vieux pour vous rappeler de l’émission Les Brillants. Vous en avez tous rencontré un à un moment ou un autre. Vous commandez quelque chose d’un autre recycleur, vous vous attendez à recevoir un bijou et à la place vous recevez un morceau de charbon avec un étron collé dessus. « Surprise! Surprise! » Le terme Anatole peut également s’appliquer à une pièce qui vous est retournée sans un appel de préavis et généralement à vos frais, juste pour tourner le fer dans la plaie. Voilà! En bref, faites ce que vous pouvez pour vendre et passer à travers la tempête économique actuelle, mais limitez les Anatoles en examinant vos pièces de près. Lustrez ce qui peut être lustré et représentez vos pièces le plus justement possible. Vos clients vous remercieront.

New ARA program aims to give recyclers a wider world view. BY/PAR JOE RAYMENT

here’s more than one kind of education. There’s going to classrooms, doing homework and studying. There’s onthe-job training and apprenticeships. There are online courses you can take to add to your skill set. There’s also a category that’s harder to teach, but just as important: life experience. With this in mind, the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) Education Foundation recently launched its educational exchange program. The program—the brainchild of ARA Educational Foundation vice president Ross Nicastri—sends auto recycling employees far and wide to experience different facilities and different cultures. One of the first Canadians to take part in the program was Stephanie Fugère. Stephanie, who works for her father Roger Fugère at Lecavalier, travelled to Mount Pearl, Newfoundland to spend a month working at Auto Parts Network. “It was a really nice trip and I think I learned a lot,” Stephanie said. “I learned a lot in my life and a lot in business.” Under the program, the originating facility—in this case Lecavalier—continues to pay the employee’s salary while the host facility provides lodging and commits to showing the employee a bit of the area’s culture. For the month that Stephanie was in Newfoundland she stayed with Auto Parts Network owner Glenn Hickey. “The family brought me to a lot of places,” Stephanie said. This included many of the cultural gems of southern Newfoundland, 86

TAM Susan Sawyer-Beaulieu, PhD, a post doctorate fellow at the University of Windsor, recently presented results from her research at the 2010 International Round Table on Auto Recycling. Sawyer-Beaulieu has taken a scientific approach to learning how dismantling and shredding facilities manage end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). She is using life-cycle assessment methods to identify the efficiencies and inefficiencies of the ELV dismantling and shredding process. This will allow the auto recycling industry to benchmark the environmental contributions dismantlers make in the overall vehicle end-of-life recycling process. Here are some of her findings:

Susan Sawyer-Beaulieu, Ph.D., chercheur postdoctoral à l’Université de Windsor, a récemment présenté les résultats de ses recherches lors du 2010 International Round Table on Auto Recycling. Sawyer-Beaulieu a adopté une approche scientifique pour comprendre comment les véhicules hors d’usage (VHU) sont gérés lors des opérations de démantèlement et de broyage. Elle a utilisé des méthodes d’analyse du cycle de vie (ACV) afin de déterminer l’efficacité des procédures de démantèlement et de déchiquetage VHU. Cette démarche permettra à l’industrie du recyclage automobile d’évaluer la contribution environnementale qu’apportent les démonteurs durant le processus de recyclage des VHU. Voici ses résultats:

n estimated 14 million vehicles are retired from the road annually in the US and Canada, representing 20 million metric tonnes of mixed materials—metals, plastics, rubber, textiles, paper, wood, glass, ceramics, etc. (for an average “equivalent passenger vehicle” weight of 1455 kg). In Canada and the US, an estimated 14.4 million metric tonnes of metals are recovered from ELVs and recycled annually. These estimates, however, are largely based on recycled metals statistics derived from the scrap metals industry and average vehicle statistics published in literature. In addition, they do not account for parts and materials recovered by dismantlers

ux É-U et au Canada, environ 14 millions de véhicules sont retirés des routes annuellement. 20 millions de tonnes métriques de matériaux: plastique, caoutchouc, textile, papier, bois, verre, céramique, etc. (pour une moyenne « équivalent passager/véhicule » de 1455 kg). Au Canada et aux É-U, 14,4 millions de tonnes métriques sont récupérées et recyclées annuellement à partir de VHU. Ces chiffres sont tirés de statistiques provenant de l’industrie de la ferraille et des métaux. Ils ne tiennent pas compte des pièces et des matériaux voués à la réutilisation, le reconditionnement, ou le recyclage.

“Recycled parts—tires, batteries, catalytic converters and mercury switches—amounted to almost four per cent of the weight of the ELVs processed.” and directed for reuse, remanufacturing and recycling independently of what is directed for shredding and metals recovery. With the collaboration of several dismantlers and one shredding facility, we performed case studies, collected data and analyzed it to establish the mass flow of parts and materials through these facilities. The dismantling data were from both full-service and self-service operations. The parts and material mass flows were established as a percentage of the mass of highsalvage and low-salvage ELVs (HSELVs and LSELVs) processed by the participating dismantlers. What was the outcome? As much as 11.6 per cent of the ELVs’ weight entering the dismantling process are recovered and directed for either reuse, remanufacturing or recycling, including the recovered fluids. The remaining 88.4 per cent of the weight is the leftover ELV hulks and “scrapped-out” parts that are directed for shredding and metals recovery. As much as 5.7 per cent of the ELVs (both LSELVs and HSELVs) were parts recovered and directed for reuse—4.9 per cent of the weight was from HSELVs and 0.8 per cent weight was from LSELVs. Parts recovered for reuse included 151 part types from HSELVs and 598 part types from LSELVs. The reusable parts from LSELVs are based on parts sales through a self-service “UPIC” facility. Reusable HSELV parts recovery represented 36.9 per cent of the weight of the HSELVs processed. Reusable LSELV parts recovery was 0.93 per cent of the weight of the LSELVs processed. Core parts recovered from HSELVs and sold for remanufacturing were only 0.1 per cent of the weight of the ELVs processed and consisted of six part types: starters, steering pumps, steering gears, calipers, alternators and A/C compressors. These are parts commonly collected and sold for remanufacturing, but are not all inclusive. Recycled parts—tires, batteries, catalytic converters and mercury switches—amounted to almost four per cent of the weight of the ELVs processed. Tires represented a little more than half of the recycled parts. 90

Avec la collaboration de démonteurs et d’une usine de déchiquetage, nous avons effectué une étude de cas. Les données recueillies et analysées ont déterminé le débit massique de pièces et matériaux de ces installations. Les données de démantèlement ont été recueillies autant aux installations libre-service qu’à celles à service complet. Les pièces et l’écoulement du matériel ont été établis comme pourcentage de la masse de hautrécupérant et de faible-récupérant des VHU. (HRVHU et FRVHU) traité par les démonteurs participants. Quel fut le résultat? Jusqu’à 11,6 pour cent du poids VHU entrant dans le processus de démantèlement est récupéré, soit pour la réutilisation, le réusinage ou le recyclage, y compris les fluides. Les 88,4 pour cent du poids VHU restants sont envoyés au broyage et à la récupération des métaux. Jusqu’à 5,7 pour cent de VHU (FRVHU et HRVHU) sont récupérés et voués à la réutilisation, 4,9 pour cent du poids en HRBHU et 0,8 pour cent en FRVHU. Les pièces récupérées pour réutilisation comprenaient 151 types de pièces provenant de HRVHU et 598 types de pièces provenant de FRVHU. Les pièces de FRVHU récupérées proviennent de la vente de pièces en libre-service. Les pièces de HRVHU récupérées représentent 36,9 pour cent du poids HRVHU traité. Pour leur part, les pièces FRVHU récupérées représentent 0,93 pour cent du poids FRVHU traité. Les pièces de base récupérées à partir de HRVHU et vendues pour la remise à neuf n’étaient que de 0,1 pour cent du poids VHU traité et se composaient de six types de pièces: démarreurs, pompes de direction, boîtiers de direction, étriers, alternateurs et compresseurs AC. Cette liste de pièces généralement vendues pour la remise à neuf n’est pas exhaustive. Les pneus, batteries, convertisseurs catalytiques et interrupteurs à mercure comptent pour presque quatre pour cent du poids VHU traité. Les pneus représentent un peu plus de la moitié des pièces recyclées. Les fluides récupérés s’élèvent à environ 1,9 pour cent du poids VHU transformé: 1,4 pour cent d’huiles et de lubrifiant, 0,5 pour

“Les pneus, batteries, convertisseurs catalytiques et interrupteurs à mercure comptent pour presque quatre pour cent du poids VHU traité.” Recovered fluids amounted to approximately 1.9 per cent weight processed ELVs’ weight—1.4 per cent directed for reuse (oils/lubricants) and 0.5 per cent that are recycled (antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, gasoline). The estimated parts and materials recovery of almost 12 per cent by weight is based on data principally from one dismantler, supplemented with data from the other participating dismantlers to fill in data gaps. It is also based on a ratio of one HSELV processed for every seven to eight LSELVs or for every tonne of HSELVs processed approximately 6.5 tonnes of LSELVs are processed. This ratio of HSELVs to LSELVs will vary from dismantler to dismantler, and consequently influence dismantling recoveries dismantler to dismantler. For dismantlers that process only HSELVs, parts and/or materials recoveries for reuse, remanufacture and “pre-shredder” recycling may be greater per tonne ELVs processed compared to this case. In contrast, for facilities that principally process LSELVs, parts and materials recoveries for reuse, remanufacture and “pre-shredder” recycling will likely be less than what was found in this case study; more materials will be directed for shredding and metals recovery. Dismantling recoveries will also be influenced by the types and ages of vehicles processed, and local and/or regional parts demands and markets. For example, the re-manufacturable parts recovery established in this case study scenario, i.e. 0.1 per cent by weight of ELVs processed, is a relatively low value. The part types and part quantities that may be sold for remanufacturing will be driven by regional market demands, the availability and locality of parts re-manufacturers and the specific parts types the re-manufacturers’ process. The participating dismantler indicated that the recovery of remanufacturable core parts was a relatively low-volume business for them, principally because of the lack of locally available parts re-manufacturers to make core part recovery justifiable. Even though this case study scenario is based on data principally

cent en antigel, liquide lave-glace et essence. La récupération estimée des pièces et des matériaux représente près de 12 pour cent du poids selon les données provenant d’un démonteur en particulier, appuyées par les données d’autres démonteurs participants. L’information est aussi basée sur un ratio d’un HRVHU traité pour chaque sept à huit FRVHU. Pour chaque tonne de HRVHU traité, environ 6,5 tonnes de FRVHU sont traitées. Ce rapport de HRVHU à FRVHU varie selon les démonteurs, et par conséquent influence la récupération. Pour les démonteurs qui traitent seulement les pièces HRVHU et/ou les matériaux voués à la réutilisation, la remise à neuf et le prébroyage, le recyclage peut être plus élevé par tonne de VHU que dans l’exemple. En revanche, pour les installations qui traitent surtout les pièces et matériaux FRVHU voués à la réutilisation, la remise à neuf ou au prébroyage, le recyclage sera probablement inférieur à ce qui a été mentionné: plus de matériaux iront au broyage et à la récupération. Le démontage sera également influencé par les types et l’âge des véhicules traités, ainsi que les exigences régionales des pièces et du marché. Par exemple, la récupération des pièces réusinées établies dans ce scénario, soit 0,1 pour cent en poids VHU traités, est relativement faible. Le type et la quantité des pièces vendues pour remise à neuf seront dictés par les exigences du marché régional, la disponibilité et la proximité des recycleurs et le type spécifiques des pièces traités par le réusineur. Les démonteurs participants ont indiqué que la récupération de pièces de base réusinées représente un volume d’affaires relativement faible. Ce principalement en raison du manque de pièces réusinées localement qui justifierait le réusinage de pièces de base. Même si cette étude est basée sur les données d’un seul démonteur, elle représente tout de même une référence en matière de pièces démontées et de matériaux récupérés. Cependant, nous ne savons pas, si le taut de récupération est élevées, faibles ou moyennes par rapport à la quantité moyenne de pièces démontées et récupérées en l’Amérique du Nord.

from one dismantler, it is a representative benchmark of dismantled parts and materials recoveries. We do not know, however, if these recoveries are high, low, or average compared to the amount of dismantled parts recovered on average from the entire North American “ELV fleet.” According to the 3R principles—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—reuse is preferable to recycling. Why is reuse preferable? Under what circumstances and by how much? These questions have been a challenge for auto recyclers to answer. Life-cycle assessment methods can help provide answers. Even though recovery and recycling operations recover materials, they are not free of environmental impacts or burdens. They consume resources and produce emissions. Instead of a more traditional comparisons of these burdens against regulatory compliance limits or guidelines, or relative to economic performance (e.g., cost benefit analysis), a life-cycle analysis can provide a more complete accounting of the materials and resource inputs and outputs for the dismantling and shredding process. Visit canadianrecycler.ca for a more detailed report on Susan Sawyer-Beaulieu’s findings.

Selon le principe 3R; réduire, réutiliser, et recycler, la réutilisation est préférable au recyclage. Pourquoi? Dans quelles circonstances et dans quelle mesure? Ces questions représentent un défi pour lequel les méthodes d’évaluation du cycle de vie peuvent apporter des solutions. Même si les les opérations de récupération et le recyclage aident, elles nes sont pas sans impact sur l’environnement. En ce qui concerne le coût et la performance économique (comme, l’analyse coûts-avantages), une analyse du cycle de vie (ACV), plutôt qu’une évaluation traditionnelle, peut fournir une comptabilité plus complète des matériaux, des apports et des sorties de ressources durant le processus de démantèlement et de déchiquetage.

THE LAST WORD LE MOT DE LA FIN

Everybody Shares, Tous partagent,

Everybody Wins Tous gagnent The IRT shows just how unique auto recyclers are.

BY/PAR GLORIA MANN

t was a treat last autumn to spend some time with auto recyclers from around Canada and the world at the International Roundtable on Recycling in Québec City. Just the existence of the event proves to me that auto recyclers are a special breed, but as always they surprised me and took it a step further than even I expected. After all the hospitality, the country reports and facility tours (with free meals provided by the host facilities!), we came to the actual roundtable discussion. During the conversation, the Green Parts logo came up. The name itself is owned by ARPAC and the logo is owned by OARA—both share the two freely with other associations without expecting anything in return. When the discussion turned to sharing them even further, representatives from the ARA stepped in and offered to provide their expertise on trademarking to the other associations—I don’t even want to know how much that would cost if they weren’t offering the advice for free. The Green Parts logo is a good example of what’s unique about the recyclers I’ve met. It’s as much about perspective as it is about selflessness. Creating and spreading the brand will be a short-term cost and effort on the parts of the volunteering parties, and it will benefit other people. But long-term, everyone wins. If the logo becomes an internationally recognized symbol it will make it more powerful for everyone who’s helped create and spread it. The associations at the IRT understood that perfectly—no need for petty maneuvering. It’s like a breath of fresh air to me every time I see it. In my humble opinion, I think the developing community among recyclers has been the single most important thing moving the industry forward in recent years. Everyone shares, everyone wins, and the Canadian auto recycling industry is quickly becoming one of the world’s best—I think you all deserve a round of applause for this accomplishment. I’m looking forward to the next IRT, which we should see in late 2011 or early 2012. Characteristically, three different associations volunteered to host future roundtables (which is no small undertaking). I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone has to share in the future.

Le TRI montre bien à quel point les recyclers automobiles sont unique.

et automne, ce fut un plaisir de passer du temps avec les recycleurs automobiles du Canada et de partout à travers le monde durant la Table Ronde Internationale sur le recyclage qui avait lieu dans la ville de Québec. L’existence même de cet évènement me prouve que les recycleurs automobiles sont une espèce à part. Comme toujours, ils m’ont surpris en allant au-delà de mes attentes. Après les réceptions, les survols de pays, les visites d’entreprises (avec repas gratuits offerts par l’hôte!), nous en sommes venus à la table ronde. Durant les débats, le sujet du logo de Green Parts a été amené. Le nom lui-même est la propriété de l’ARPAC et le logo est la propriété de OARA. Les deux sont partagés librement à d’autres associations sans rien attendre en retour. Lorsqu’il a été suggéré de partager encore plus, deux représentants de l’ARA ont offert de fournir leur expertises sur les dépôts de marque. Je ne chercherai même pas à savoir combien cela couterait si cette offre n’était pas gratuite. Le logo Green Parts est un bon exemple de ce qu’il y a d’unique chez les recycleurs que j’ai rencontrés. C’est autant une question de perspective qu’une question désintéressée. La création et la diffusion de la marque demanderont un effort à court terme de la part des participants, dont d’autres profiteront. À long terme, tout le monde y gagne. Si le logo devient un symbole internationalement reconnu, il n’en sera que plus fort pour ceux qui auront contribué à sa création et à sa propagation. Les associations présentes à la TRI ont bien compris: nul besoin de manœuvres mesquines. C’est comme une bouffée d’air frais pour moi. À mon humble avis, l’esprit communautaire qui existe entre les recycleurs a été la chose la plus importante pour le développement de l’industrie ces dernières années. Tout le monde partage, tout le monde gagne, et l’industrie canadienne du recyclage automobile est en voie de devenir l’une des plus solides au monde. Je pense que vous méritez tous une bonne main d’applaudissements. J’ai très hâte à la prochaine TRI, qui devrait avoir lieu en fin 2011 ou début 2012. Bien évidemment, trois associations différentes se sont portées volontaires pour organiser la prochaine table ronde (ce qui n’est pas une mince affaire). J’ai hâte de voir ce que chacun aura à partager. GLORIA MANN VP Industry Relations Canadian Auto Recyclers VP des relations de l’industrie

THANK YOU TO ALL THE RETIRE YOUR RIDE RECYCLERS WHO USED THE NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE TO RETIRE OVER 115,000 VEHICLES FROM CANADIAN ROADS TO DATE

The National Code of Practice was developed to ensure that recyclers have the most relevant information and tools to prevent hazardous materials contained in endof-life vehicles from contaminating our water, land and air during and after the vehicle recycling process. While the National Code of Practice was developed for the Retire Your Ride Program, it can be applied to ALL dismantled and recycled vehicles.

Retire Your Ride ends March 31, 2011 Adieu bazou prendra fin le 31 mars 2011

MERCI À TOUS RECYCLEURS D’ADIEU BAZOU QUI, À CE JOUR, ONT RETIRÉ PLUS DE 115 000 VIEUX VÉHICULES DES ROUTES AU CANADA D’APRÈS LE CODE DE PRATIQUE NATIONAL

Le Code de pratique national a été conçu pour fournir aux entreprises de recyclage des renseignements et des outils pertinents afin d’éviter que les matières dangereuses contenues dans les véhicules en fin de vie utile ne contaminent l’eau, la terre ou l’air durant et après leur processus de recyclage. Bien qu’élaboré pour le programme Adieu Bazou, ce code peut s’appliquer à TOUS les véhicules qui sont démontés ou recyclés. Pour en savoir davantage : www.certifiedautorecycler.ca
