No matter where you go, this magazine reflects the professionalism auto recycling has developed. Government, insurers, manufacturers and environmental groups recognize our commitment to stewardship and quality. The magazine was well received during the IRT in Quebec City, ARA in North Carolina and at the National Forum on Auto Recycling in Toronto. This magazine reflects the professionalism of our industry. I am honored to have been featured.

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 alongside 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.

Ce magazine reflète le professionnalisme développé par l’industrie du recyclage automobile. Le gouvernement, les assureurs, les fabricants et les groupes environnementaux reconnaissent notre engagement en ce qui concerne l’intendance et la qualité. Le magazine a eu du succès pendant le IRT à Québec, l’ARA en Caroline du Nord et le National Forum on Auto Recycling à Toronto. Ce fut un honneur pour moi de paraître sur la couverture.

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 réaliserons dans les années à venir.

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.

BY/PAR MIKE RAINE

O

ver the last year I have been continuously amazed by how Canadian auto recyclers have been changing people’s perceptions of their industry.

We’re all too familiar with the old mental images, held by many people for decades, of recycling yards being dirty places run by shady people. Overcoming such long held misconceptions is daunting for any company or industry. However, auto recyclers from coast to coast are defeating these misconceptions and replacing them with the more accurate images of progressive businesses at the forefront of the environmental movement.

Whether it is large scale programs like Recycle Your Ride or Tire Take Back Days, or a single auto recycler giving children’s books to kids in need, auto recyclers are very publicly demonstrating that they are going beyond the call of duty to help the community and the environment. Because of this, politicians at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels have begun recognizing that they have an important ally in the fight to save our environment.

Amazingly, what Canada’s auto recyclers are doing isn’t just being noticed by other Canadians, it’s being noticed around the world.

More than once while writing and researching articles for this magazine, people in other countries told me recyclers in their home country are learning from the example set by Canada’s auto recyclers.

A lot of the credit obviously and rightfully goes to ARC and the provincial associations, but it should not be forgotten that the great things that have been achieved would not have been possible without the dedication of the local auto recycler. It is for you, the Canadian auto recycler, that this magazine is for, and it is you that continues to inspire me.

SENIOR EDITOR/RÉDACTEUR PRINCIPALE Mike Davey > editor@collisionrepairmag.com

D

urant la dernière année, j’ai été constamment surpris par la façon

dont les recycleurs d’automobiles canadiens changent la perception qu’ont les gens de leur industrie.

Nous connaissons tous l’image désuète qui persiste pour beaucoup de gens: des ateliers de recyclage sales et dirigés par des gens louches.

Surmonter de telles mauvaises conceptions est un travail de taille pour une entreprise ou une industrie. Toutefois, les recycleurs d’automobiles d’un océan à l’autre arrivent à vaincre ces préjugés pour les remplacer par l’image plus appropriée d’entreprises progressistes à la fine pointe du mouvement environnemental.

Que ce soit avec des programmes à grande échelle comme Faites de l’air ou de Tire take back, ou simplement des recycleurs d’automobiles indépendants qui faisant don de livres à des enfants dans le besoin, les recycleurs d’automobiles démontrent qu’ils vont au-delà de l’appel du devoir en aidant leur communauté et l’environnement.

Pour cette raison, les politiciens municipaux, provinciaux et fédéraux commencent à reconnaître qu’ils ont un allié important dans la lutte pour la sauvegarde de notre environnement.

Ce que font les recycleurs automobiles du Canada n’est pas seulement remarqué par les Canadiens, leur travail est aussi remarqué par le reste du monde. Plus d’une fois pendant le processus de rédaction et de recherche de ce magazine, des gens d’autres pays m’ont admis que les recycleurs de chez eux apprennent de l’exemple donné par l’industrie du recyclage automobile canadienne.

De toute évidence, et à juste titre, une grande partie du crédit va à l’ARC et aux associations provinciales. Toutefois, il ne faut pas oublier que les grandes réussites que nous avons connues n’auraient pas été possibles sans le dévouement des membres, les recycleurs automobiles locaux.

Uniting recycled parts with cycle time Car-Part Pro simplifies the process of finding quality recycled parts for the collision and mechanical repair industries.

Shops and appraisers choose their delivery time, warranty and other service levels and see only those parts that fit their cycle time requirements. The results show parts with laden prices including the requested service levels.

Recyclers’ local delivery times are affected by where the part is in the recycler’s production process. For example, a part in the warehouse may be delivered today, whereas a part still on the vehicle may be delivered tomorrow, and finally, if the whole vehicle needs to be dismantled, the part could take two days for delivery. Some recyclers have robust overnight shipping networks and often can deliver a part next day from their distribution network. The buyer simply chooses when the part is needed and all parts meeting that delivery will show in the results.

See parts from an unfamiliar recycler? Certifications offer great insight into recyclers’ values and services. For example, if you are looking for recyclers that conform to

Canada’s environmental code, just look for the green parts logo. Car-Part has three certification levels, gold, silver and bronze, that deal with services recyclers offer to buyers.

Car-Part Gold certified recyclers offer a one year warranty option, a 30 day refund policy, deliver parts to professional shops, grade parts using ARA international part grading standards, and disclose whether their body part pricing system uses actual or undamaged pricing. Certifications are an easy way to buy safe and green! Car-Part Pro offers a summary of recycler’s certifications, affiliations, and business practices.

By integrating real time communication into the work flow, Live Chat allows buyer and seller to communicate their needs quickly and efficiently while maintaining a written record of the transaction. The “Confirm Availability” button will let the buyer confirm in real time that the part is still available and in stock. Car-Part Pro can easily be integrated into third party applications such as work flow, estimating, and shop management.

L’union des pièces recyclées et du temps de cycle Car-Part Pro simplifie le processus de recherche de pièces recyclées de qualité au sein des industries de la carrosserie et de la mécanique automobile. Les acheteurs choisissent le délai de livraison, la garantie et d’autres niveaux de service, puis le logiciel affiche uniquement les pièces qui correspondent aux critères de temps de cycle.

L’endroit où se trouve la pièce a un effet sur les délais de livraison des recycleurs. Par exemple, une pièce située dans l’entrepôt peut être livrée aujourd’hui, mais une pièce qui est toujours sur le véhicule peut être livrée demain. Si le véhicule au complet doit être démantelé, la pièce pourrait avoir un délai de livraison de deux jours. Certains recycleurs ont de bons réseaux de livraison et peuvent souvent livrer une pièce dès le lendemain à partir de leur réseau de distribution. Il suffit à l’acheteur de choisir quand il a besoin de la pièce et toutes les pièces correspondantes apparaissent.

Un recycleur vous est inconnu? Les certifications jettent la lumière sur les valeurs et les services des recycleurs. Par exemple, si vous cherchez des recycleurs qui respectent le

code environnemental canadien, cherchez simplement le logo identifiant les pièces vertes. Car-Part possède trois niveaux de certification — or, argent et bronze — qui portent sur les services offerts par les recycleurs. Les recycleurs certifiés Car-Part Or offrent une garantie d’un an et une politique de remboursement de 30 jours, livrent des pièces à des ateliers professionnels, classent les pièces selon les normes internationales de classement ARA, etc. Les certifications sont un moyen facile d’acheter des pièces sécuritaires et vertes! Car-Part Pro offre un sommaire des certifications, des affiliations et des pratiques commerciales du recycleur.

Live Chat — moyen de communication en temps réel intégré — permet à l’acheteur et au vendeur d’exprimer leurs besoins rapidement et efficacement tout en conservant une copie écrite de la transaction. Le bouton « Confirm Availability » permet à l’acheteur de confirmer, en temps réel, que la pièce est toujours en stock. Car-Part Pro peut facilement être intégré dans des applications tierces parties comme des applications de gestion de l’atelier ou d’estimation.

REVOLUTIONARY ROUNDTABLE / TABLE RONDE RÉVOLUTIONNAIRE Liverpool to host the next evolution of IRT./ Liverpool accueillera la prochaine IRT. When The Beatles sang the lyric, “We all want to change the world,” they weren’t necessarily speaking about the revolutionary and evolutionary progression of auto recycling. They were, however, speaking to the necessity of change inherent to specific social and political movements—environmentalism being one of those movements.

The 6th edition of the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling will pull up to the kerb in Liverpool, England. The 800 year-old city, with World Heritage Site status, was once named European Capital of Culture and, of course, is the home of The Beatles.

The event is designed to merge international voices in the important field of auto recycling. The previous IRT held in Canada included representatives from Canada, the US, Japan, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico and Malaysia. Over the course of a few days, industry leaders will exchange ideas, strategies and hurdles in auto recycling. From topics like partnerships between insurance companies and collision

By/Par W. Mike Dineen

repair facilities to government programs, the roundtable aims to affect necessary change to this essential industry.

Paired up with CARS (Complete Auto Recycling Show), the three-day IRT will offer guided tours of local recycling facilities, interactive social events, seminars, and presentations.

Not included (though essential for attendees) are Liverpool’s world famous docks, the Beatles Museum and the city’s famous “scouse” stew. Like the saying goes for Rome, when in Liverpool, do as the Liverpudlians do.  Quand les Beatles chantaient: « Nous voulons tous changer le monde », ils ne parlaient pas de la progression extraordinaire du recyclage automobile. Ils parlaient plutôt de la nécessité de changer qui est un aspect essentiel de certains mouvements sociaux et politiques, comme les mouvements environnementaux.

La 6e édition de la Table ronde internationale sur le recyclage automobile se rendra à Liverpool en Angleterre. Vielle de 800 ans, la ville autrefois nommée capitale européenne de la

culture, détient aujourd’hui le statut de patrimoine mondial, en plus d’être le siège des Beatles.

L’événement vise une convergence des voix internationales dans le domaine du recyclage automobile. La dernière rencontre IRT avait lieu au Canada et recevait des participants du Canada, des États-Unis, du Japon, des Pays-Bas, du RoyaumeUni, de l’Australie, du Mexique ainsi que de Malaisie. Pendant quelques jours, les leaders de l’industrie échangeront idées et stratégies et parleront des obstacles du recyclage automobile. Ils aborderont des sujets tels que le partenariat entre assureurs et réparateurs ou encore les programmes gouvernementaux. Les tables rondes ont pour but de favoriser les changements dans l’industrie.

Jumelé aux CARS (Complete Auto Recycling Show), les trois jours d’IRT proposent des visites guidées des entreprises de recyclage locales, des événements à caractères sociaux, des séminaires et des présentations.

CANADA’S RECYCLERS THANKED AT JAPANESE EMBASSY/ LE CANADA REÇOIT DES REMERCIEMENTS DE L’AMBASSADE JAPONAISE Canada’s recyclers have a good international reputation, and it’s a reputation that has been spreading far and wide in recent years. In fact, it has reached as far as the Canadian embassy in Tokyo.

Alan Schroeder is a Trade Commissioner at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo with responsibility for the automotive file. He recently contacted Steve Fletcher of ARC to let him know that the Japanese Automotive Recyclers Association had requested a meeting with embassy staff to thank the association for its support and generous donation of $10,000 following the terrible earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March. JARA sent ARC a Certificate of Appreciation for their efforts.

“We were very impressed with the breadth of their activities and their efforts to raise awareness of the importance of automotive recycling,” said Schroeder. “I was particularly impressed with the series of children’s books that they have produced to raise the importance of recycling among children, as well as the ‘Dictionary of Automobile Recycling’ that they recently published.”

Schroeder closed by thanking the association for their support of automotive recyclers in Japan, noting that it was “…not only a great source of strength and encouragement for the Japanese people during this difficult time, but an important symbol of Canada’s readiness to help a friend in need.”

Alan Schroeder est le délégué commercial à l’ambassade canadienne à Tokyo responsable du dossier de l’automobile. Il a récemment contacté Steve Fletcher, de l’ARC pour lui faire savoir que la Japonese Automotive Recyclers Association avait demandé une rencontre avec le personnel de l’ambassade dans le but de remercier l’association pour son soutien et son généreux don de 10 000 $ à la suite du terrible séisme et le tsunami qui a frappé le Japon en Mars. JARA prévoit envoyer à ARC un certificat d’appréciation pour leurs efforts. « Nous étions très impressionnés par l’ampleur de leurs activités et leurs efforts de sensibilisation à l’importance de recyclage automobile », a déclaré M. Schroeder. « J’ai été particulièrement impressionné par la série de livres pour enfants qu’ils ont produite pour encourager le recyclage chez les enfants, ainsi que par le “Dictionnary of Automobile Recycling” qu’ils ont publié recemment ».

Schroeder a terminé en remerciant l’association pour son soutien aux recycleurs automobiles Japonais, en soulignant que l’association est « [...] non seulement une source d’encouragement pour le peuple japonais dans cette période difficile, mais un symbole important de la volonté Canadienne d’aider un ami dans le besoin ».

The automotive recycling industry is represented by a new association in Saskatchewan - the Saskatchewan Automotive Recyclers Association (SARA). Previously, Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) Salvage was the only recognized “group” of recyclers. SGI Salvage had two Board positions on the national Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) Board, and held open industry meetings to educate the private salvors on trends within the industry. Increasingly it was becoming important for all recyclers to interact with the public, government and other industry stakeholders - and thus the new association was formed.

SARA officially applied to ARC to represent the province on the ARC Board. The new association is represented by a Board of Directors: Chairperson, Jack Smith, TopLine Auto Salvage Vice Chairperson, Allan Fontaine, Vic’s Automotive Secretary/Treasurer, Cheryl Hoimyr, SGI Salvage Don Bourassa, Southside Auto Wreckers Dale Nagel, Dale And Lisa’s Farm & Auto Mark Riffel, Affiliated Auto Wreckers Keith Kabay, All Parts Automotive Bruce Ehman, Redwing Auto Recyclers Cheryl Hoimyr will continue on the ARC Board, now representing SARA, and Jack Smith was also appointed to the ARC Board.

“We applaud SGI Salvage for the tremendous role they have played in the development of ARC and for their incredibly proactive role in helping to form SARA. We look forward to working with the new association, and we are very pleased that SGI Salvage will be active in SARA and ARC,” said Wally Dingman, ARC Chairman.

Jack Smith, the inaugural SARA Chairman, “We are delighted to be welcomed in to ARC and begin the process of sharing information with our Members about the great things that are happening in our industry. All of our Members will be working towards certification to the Canadian Auto Recyclers Environmental Code.”

A meeting of SARA’s membership is scheduled for April 20-21, 2012.  L’industrie du recyclage automobile est représentée par une nouvelle association en Saskatchewan : la Saskatchewan Automotive Recyclers Association (SARA). Jusqu’à ce jour, la Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) Salvage était le seul « groupe » reconnu de recycleurs.

Canadian Auto Recyclers 2012

Cheryl Hoimyr of SGI Salvage is SARA’s Secretary/ Treasurer, and represents SARA on the ARC board.

Cheryl Hoimyr de SGI Salvage est secrétaire/ trésorière de la SARA et représente la SARA sur le CA d’ARC.

SGI Salvage disposait de deux sièges au conseil d’administration d’Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) et tenait des réunions publiques pour éduquer les recycleurs privés sur les tendances de l’industrie. Mais il devenait de plus en plus important pour les recycleurs d’interagir avec le public, le gouvernement et d’autres parties intéressées et l’association fut créée.

La SARA a officiellement demandé à ARC de représenter la province sur le CA d’ARC. La nouvelle association est représentée par un CA : Président, Jack Smith, TopLine Auto Salvage Vice-président, Allan Fontaine, Vic’s Automotive Secrétaire/ Trésorière, Cheryl Hoimyr, SGI Salvage Don Bourassa, Southside Auto Wreckers Dale Nagel, Dale And Lisa’s Farm & Auto Mark Riffel, Affiliated Auto Wreckers Keith Kabay, All Parts Automotive Bruce Ehman, Redwing Auto Recyclers Cheryl Hoimyr restera sur le CA d’ARC à titre de représentante de la SARA, et Jack Smith a siégera aussi sur le CA d’ARC. « Nous aimerions remercier SGI Salvage pour le rôle très important qu’ils ont joué dans le développement d’ARC et pour leur rôle incroyablement proactif dans la création de la SARA. Nous avons hâte de travailler avec la nouvelle association et nous sommes très heureux que SGI Salvage reste actif au sein de la SARA et d’ARC », a dit Wally Dingman, président du CA d’ARC. Jack Smith, le premier président de la SARA a déclaré : « Nous sommes heureux de faire partie d’ARC et de commencer à partager toutes les nouveautés notre industrie avec nos membres. Tous nos membres travailleront dans le but d’obtenir une certification du Code environnemental de Canadian Auto Recyclers. » Une réunion des membres de la SARA est prévue pour le 20-21 avril 2012.

RECYCLER’S PASSION

UN VRAI PASSIONNÉ

Wally Dingman has what it takes to impress his peers.

Wally Dingman a l’étoffe pour surprendre ses pairs.

D

BY/PAR MIKE DAVEY edicated. Committed. Passionate. These are all words that his peers use to describe Wally Dingman. Dingman is the Chair of the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) and the owner of Caughill Auto Wreckers, located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.

Don Fraser of AADCO Auto Parts sums it up, noting that Dingman gives 110 percent effort to everything he does.

“I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Wally,” says Fraser.

“He’s got a great knowledge of the industry, and he has a great ability to get the central ideas across to people outside our business.”

Mary Poirier of Valley Automotive would agree. She says Dingman is fully involved in the industry, heart and soul.

“He’s got the ability to analyze documents and agreements better than any lawyer I have ever used,” says Poirer. “We need to say thank you to his wife Ingrid and their three children for lending him to the association. His work with OARA has been a tremendous benefit.”

Barb Sembay of North Queen Auto Parts also notes Dingman’s dedication to promoting OARA and the automotive recycling industry as a whole.

“He’s incredibly dedicated to our association. It’s hard to believe that aside from all his work at OARA, he still finds the time he needs to run his own business,” says Sembay. “He has a serious commitment to the growth of our industry. I’ve always been impressed by the way he treats all members equally. No matter what, he’s always kind, understanding and patient.”

Mike Maio is the owner of Boston Auto Wreckers. He says that people in the industry look up to Wally Dingman for a very simple reason: he provides a true example of leadership.

“He’s always ready and prepared for anything that comes at him. It’s amazing how he’s able to remember everything, down to exact details,” says Maio. “He sets the standard that I want to reach.”

It’s a high standard to reach for, but that’s the point, really. Setting a high standard encourages others to meet it.

Ask Lisa Sticca of Thunder Bay Auto Parts for her views on Wally Dingman, and she’ll willingly tell you about his commitment to the recycling business and OARA, his respect for every association member, and how he is a visionary, always looking to the future for the benefit of everyone. However, she also points out something that some people may forget.

“He’s got an uncanny sense of humour and wit,” says Sticca. It’s easy to lose sight of those qualities, but a good sense of humour is often what keeps a visionary going when the times get tough.

Perhaps Trevor Generoux of Parkway Auto Recyclers sums up Dingman best.

“Four words. Intelligence, integrity, passion and respect,” says Generoux. “That’s Wally in a nutshell.”

D

évoué et passionné. Voici comment les pairs de Wally Dingman, président de l’Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) et propriétaire de Caughill Auto Wreckers, à Niagara-on-the-Lake, en Ontario, le décrivent.

Don Fraser de AADCO Auto Parts indique qu’il a « beaucoup de respect et d’admiration pour Wally. Il possède une très bonne connaissance de l’industrie et est capable d’en exprimer les idées clés à ceux qui n’en font pas partie. » Mary Poirier de Valley Automotive est bien d’accord, indiquant que Dingman est dévoué corps et âme à l’industrie. « Il peut analyser des documents et des ententes mieux que tous les avocats avec qui j’ai eu l’occasion de travailler, explique-t-elle. Nous nous devons de remercier Ingrid et leurs trois enfants de nous l’avoir prêté. Son travail pour l’OARA a été très utile. » Barb Sembay de North Queen Auto Parts indique aussi le dévouement de Dingman à la promotion de l’OARA et de l’industrie du recyclage automobile en général. « Il est très dévoué à notre association. Il est difficile de comprendre comment il peut trouver le temps de gérer sa propre entreprise avec tout le travail qu’il fait pour l’OARA, s’étonne Sembay. Il est extrêmement attaché à la croissance de notre industrie. Sa manière de traiter tous les membres également m’a toujours impressionnée. Peu importe les circonstances, il est toujours gentil, compréhensif et patient. » Mike Maio est le propriétaire de Boston Auto Wreckers. Selon lui, les gens de l’industrie admirent Wally Dingman pour une simple et bonne raison : il donne un véritable exemple de leadership. « Il est prêt à tout. Il se souvient de tout, des moindres détails, et c’est incroyable, dit Maio. Il est le modèle que je veux suivre. » Il s’agit d’un modèle difficile à imiter, mais c’est ça qui est important, justement. Un idéal élevé encourage les autres à s’y référer.

Demandez à Lisa Sticca de Thunder Bay Auto Parts ce qu’elle pense de Wally Dingman et elle vous parlera, sans hésiter, de son dévouement à l’industrie du recyclage et à l’OARA, de son respect pour tous les membres de l’association et de son côté visionnaire qui garde toujours le cap sur un avenir dont tout le monde peut tirer profit. Elle mentionne, par contre, un petit côté que certaines personnes peuvent oublier. « Il a un étrange sens de l’humour, dit-elle. Il est facile de l’oublier, mais un bon sens de l’humour permet souvent aux visionnaires de continuer quand les temps sont durs. » Trevor Generoux de Parkway Auto Recyclers est sans doute celui qui décrit Dingman le mieux : « Quatre mots : intelligence, intégrité, passion et respect, énumère Generoux. Voilà en quoi se résume Wally. »

L’année 2011 a été une autre grande année pour l’Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC), l’association nationale des recycleurs automobile.

L’ARC a officiellement donné son appui à Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada et sera le commanditaire principal de la campagne de MADD pour son programme 911 en 2012. « Ce nouveau partenariat nous réjouit. Nous sommes compatibles et nos organisations partagent l’objectif commun d’améliorer la sécurité routière. Nous avons hâte de passer l’année avec MADD à titre de commanditaire principal de leur campagne 911, dit Wally Dingman de Caughill Auto Wreckers et président d’ARC. Les membres d’ARC peuvent aussi devenir les partenaires de leur section locale de MADD Canada pour aider à sensibiliser les gens. Tous les membres d’ARC traitent des véhicules perte totale, ce qui leur permet de voir de près la destruction causée par la conduite avec facultés affaiblies. » En juin, l’ARC a co-commandité avec le Canadian Collision Industry Forum (CCIF) un déjeûner-réunion de recycleurs, des réparateurs et des assureurs. L’objectif de ce sommet était de définir et d’établir un consensus sur les enjeux liés à l’utilisation de pièces recyclées en carrosserie et d’établir un plan pour les traiter.

“We’re very excited about this new partnership. It’s a great fit and our organizations share common goals for improved road safety. We look forward to an exciting year with MADD Canada as the title sponsor to Campaign 911,” said Wally Dingman of Caughill Auto Wreckers and the ARC Chairman. “ARC Members can also partner with MADD Canada Chapters in local areas to help raise awareness.

All ARC Members process total loss vehicles for the insurance industry and as such have plenty of wrecked vehicles that can drive home the physical devastation that can happen with impaired drivers.”

In June, ARC co-sponsored a recycler, repairer and insurer breakfast summit with the Canadian Collision Industry Forum (CCIF). The purpose was to define and establish consensus on the issues that matter to all parties concerning the use of recycled parts in collision repair and to establish a plan for addressing them.

One outcome of this meeting was clarity on the key issues and agreement between the principal stakeholders on maintaining the momentum to address them in a collaborative way. Two Recycled Parts task forces have been established to develop action plans designed to overcome the barriers and to exploit the opportunities identified at the meeting.

ARC would also like to congratulate two Canadian organizations that took home awards from the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) annual convention. The Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association and Lecavalier Auto Parts received Star Awards during a gala event held during the recent ARA Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. OARA was named Affiliate Chapter of the Year by the ARA. Lecavalier Auto Parts was honoured as Certified Auto Recycler of the Year.

Deux groupes de travail sur les pièces recyclés ont été établis afin de développer des plans d’action conçus pour surmonter les barrières et exploiter les occasions décelées pendant la réunion.

L’ARC aimerait aussi féliciter deux organisations canadiennes qui ont remporté des prix pendant le congrès annuel de l’Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA). L’ Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association et Pièces Automobile Lecavalier ont reçu des prix Star pendant le gala qui a eu lieu pendant le dernier congrès de l’ARA à Charlotte, en Caroline du Nord.

Quebéc (ARPAC) l arpac.org Since its creation in 1995, the ARPAC Foundation has contributed $393,000 to the improvement of the well being of Quebec families.

The Foundation is continuing its humanitarian work and taking direct action to help needy families and individuals. This was illustrated in 2010-2011 by a number of initiatives.

In 2011, the ARPAC Foundation reaffirmed its support for organizations working in the field of cancer research by sponsoring, for the fifth year in a row, walkers participating in the Weekend to End Women’s Cancers. The Foundation also sponsored participants in the Jewish General Hospital’s Ride to Conquer Cancer, the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Snow Run. The Foundation also supported the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada by sponsoring a team in the MS Walk.

Depuis sa création en 1995, la Fondation de l’ARPAC a contribué à hauteur de 393 000 $ au mieux-être des familles du Québec.

La Fondation poursuit son oeuvre humanitaire en agissant directement auprès des familles et des personnes dans le besoin. Celle-ci s’est illustrée plus particulièrement, en 2010-2011, par les actions suivantes.

Depuis le début de 2011, la Fondation Arpac a réitéré son appui aux organismes qui oeuvrent à la recherche contre le cancer en supportant pour une cinquième année les marcheuses et marcheurs du Week-end pour vaincre les cancers féminins. La Fondation a prêté son soutien aux participants et participantes du Cyclo défi contre le cancer de l’Hôpital général juif, du Relais pour la vie de la Société canadienne du cancer et de la Randonnée des neiges Kelly Shires.

La Fondation a également appuyé la Société canadienne de la sclérose en plaque en parrainant une équipe de la Marche de l’espoir.

helped make possible the purchase of the necessary equipment to keep a 16-year-old girl with Ewing’s sarcoma in her home.

In 2010, the Foundation supported a family’s acquisition of an elevating platform to facilitate the movements of a paralytic girl. A low-income single-parent family with a child suffering terminal-stage cancer received a complete set of furniture for Christmas. A school in Abitibi was provided with specialized equipment, allowing students with learning disorders to enjoy sports activities. A disabled person in the Laurentian region was provided with a motorized wheelchair to enjoy more autonomy. Since 2010, the Foundation has also been assisting a 29-year-old mother and her family after the mother suffered a stroke; she now suffers from locked-in syndrome. Work to fit out the home for the mother’s return is being funded by the Foundation.

In November 2011, the Foundation will support the necessary renovations to allow a teenage girl to come home after two years of hospitalization.

En 2010, la Fondation a prêté son soutien à une famille dans l’aménagement d’une plateforme élévatrice destinée à faciliter les déplacements d’une jeune fille atteinte de paralysie. Une famille monoparentale à faibles revenus dont l’un des enfants était atteint d’un cancer en phase terminale a pu bénéficier d’un ameublement complet pour la période des fêtes. De l’équipement spécialisé a été offert à une école de l’Abitibi, permettant à des élèves en difficulté d’apprentissage de jouir d’activités sportives. Une personne handicapée de la région des Laurentides a pu obtenir un fauteuil roulant motorisé, pour plus d’autonomie. Enfin, la Fondation soutient, depuis 2010, une jeune mère de 29 ans et sa famille suite à l’accident vasculaire cérébral dont elle a été victime, et qui souffre depuis du syndrome d’enfermement. Les travaux visant un aménagement pour le retour à domicile de cette mère de famille sont appuyés par la Fondation.

En novembre 2011, la Fondation soutiendra les travaux d’aménagement requis pour permettre à une adolescente de retourner à son domicile après 2 ans d’hospitalisation.

Airbags

Coussins gonflables

A painstaking process of certification of used airbags has been developed by ARPAC, its partners and the SAAQ, and an agreement was made on November 11, 2011 between the SAAQ and ARPAC for the start of a pilot project. The goal of this process is to ensure the compatibility of the airbag with the receiving vehicle, the integrity of the airbags and tracking in the event of a manufacturer’s recall.

All employees who have contact with airbags as part of their work will be obliged to successfully complete a training course. To date, 130 employees have taken this training.

The pilot project will extend for a period of three to five years.

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.

Tous les employés qui sont en contact avec des coussins gonflables pendant leur travail devront suivre la formation avec succès. Jusqu’à maintenant, 130 employés ont suivi la formation.

Le projet pilote s’étendra sur une période de 3 ans pouvant aller jusqu’à 5 ans.

ARPAC CO-OP

CO-OP Arpac

ARPAC has initiated a recycled parts cooperative project, organized along lines similar to Agropur in the agri-food industry. ARPAC is presently studying the feasibility of building a plant for the shredding of metal and recovery of plastics from scrap cars. This project, estimated to cost $55 million, could become a reality by the end of 2012.

L’Arpac a initié un projet de coopérative de pièces recyclées, un peu sous le modèle de ce qui se fait en agroalimentaire avec Agropur. L’ARPAC étudie présentement la faisabilité de construire une usine de déchiquetage des métaux et de récupération des plastiques provenant des carcasses de véhicules. Ce projet estimé à 55 millions $ pourrait voir le jour d’ici la fin de 2012.

Table de concertation sur l’environnement et les véhicules routiers

Consultation Table on the Environment and Road Vehicles Simon Matte, Executive Director of ARPAC, was named chairman of the consultation table on the environment and road vehicles, which was established by Recyc-Québec. This consultation table, which brings together the main players of Quebec’s automobile industry and their representatives across Canada, is planning the implementation of the PIEVA, an inspection and maintenance program for vehicles eight years old and over. This program addresses Quebec’s desire to reduce air pollutant emissions.

In addition to the PIEVA, a major concern of the consultation table will be extended producer responsibility (EPR). Work for its implementation will be done in consultation with the Quebec Department of Sustainable Development, the Environment and Parks.

M. Simon Matte, président-directeur général de l’Arpac, a été nommé à la présidence de la Table de concertation sur l’environnement et les véhicules routiers mise en place par Recyc-Québec. Cette Table, qui réunit les principaux acteurs de l’industrie de l’automobile du Québec et leurs représentants pancanadiens, prévoit la mise en place du PIEVA, un programme d’inspection et d’entretien des véhicules de 8 ans et plus. Ce programme rejoint les préoccupations du Québec en matière de réduction des émissions de polluants atmosphériques.

Outre le PIEVA, la Responsabilité élargie des producteurs, la RÉP, sera au cœur des préoccupations de la Table, laquelle travaillera en étroite collaboration avec le ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs du Québec à sa mise en œuvre.

W

hen dedicated and like-minded organizations work together and engage the public and achieve a common goal, there is no limit to the great things that can be accomplished. For proof, look no further than the 2011 Tire Take Back Days event. This two-day recycling blitz, organized by Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS) and the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), recovered 48,000 old tires, which would be the height of 24 CN Towers if stacked one on top of another. These tires, which could otherwise have ended up in landfills, creating potential health and environmental hazards, are instead finding new life in buildings, playgrounds and sports fields in Ontario’s communities.

On May 27 and 28, Ontarians dropped off their old tires at 64 OARA member locations, free of charge. Best of all, the collection incentive for every tire dropped off, as well as matching donations from OARA and additional donations from Liberty Tire Recycling, went directly to the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, which makes dreams come true for children with severe physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses. In total, over $123,000 was raised for charity, well exceeding the original goal of $100,000.

By working together, OTS, Ontario’s auto recyclers, and Liberty Tire are demonstrating that the used tire and end-of-life vehicle industries can be leaders in environmental protection. With the public’s help, we can spur innovation and the economy while making Ontario a healthier place to live.

L

orsque des organisations décidées et aux vues similaires travaillent ensemble, pour mobiliser le public et atteindre un but commun, il n’y a pas de limites aux grandes choses qu’elles peuvent accomplir. Pour preuve, ne cherchez pas plus loin que l’évènement Tire Take Back Days de 2011. Durant ces deux jours de campagne éclair de recyclage, organisé par Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS) et Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), 48 000 vieux pneus ont été récupérés, ce qui empilés un sur l’autre représente 24 tours CN. Ces pneus qui autrement se seraient retrouvés dans les décharges, créant des problèmes potentiels pour la santé et l’environnement, vont à la place trouver une nouvelle vie dans les édifices et les terrains de jeux ou de sports des communautés ontariennes.

Les et 27 et 28 mai, les Ontariens déposaient gratuitement leurs vieux pneus chez 64 dépositaires membres d’OARA. Le plus beau, c’est que l’incitatif pour chaque pneu déposé ainsi que les dons égalés par OARA et les dons additionnels provenant de Liberty Tire Recycling, ont été versé directement à la fondation Rayons de Soleil pour Enfants, qui réalise des rêves pour les enfants aux prises avec de graves déficiences physiques ou des maladies constituant un danger de mort. En tout, plus de 123 000 $ ont été amassés, dépassant largement l’objectif initial de 100 000 $.

En travaillant ensemble, OTS, les recycleurs de l’Ontario, et Liberty Tire démontrent que les pneus usagés et l’industrie des véhicules en fin de vie peuvent être des leaders dans la protection de l’environnement. Avec l’aide du public, nous pouvons encourager l’innovation et l’économie tout en faisant de l’Ontario un milieu de vie saint.

SWITCH OUT 2011

Program’s Progress

Les progrès du programme

Partnerships keep program progressive.

La participation des partenaires, un gage de succès.

BY/PAR

JANET TAYLOR, Summerhill Impact

T

he Switch Out program has had another incredible year of achievements and results, which couldn’t have been attained without the dedication and support of numerous partners who help keep the program progressive, inventive and an industry leader. It is clear that collaborative efforts led to these achievements.

The year began on an impressive note as the Automotive Recyclers of Canada made a proactive commitment to ensure all members were actively participating. This move not only shows leadership in protecting the environment, but also supports the “Zero Mercury” Scrap Purchasing Policy set out by the Canadian Steel Producers.

Various steel recyclers began enforcing the “Zero Mercury” Scrap Purchasing Policy through ramped-up communications and in some cases product and site audits. This enforcement effort supports the ARC members by leveling the playing field and forcing any group not meeting their standards to come up to speed.

Simultaneously, the Canadian Association of Recycling Industries worked with the Switch Out team to design an outreach campaign, ensuring their success as “Zero Mercury” policy participants and enforcers.

The partnership with CARI will only serve to improve the program.

While these improvements were happening, another exciting initiative to the far north was taking place. Thanks to support from Boston Auto Wreckers in Toronto, the Switch Out team received training on how to recover mercury switches then headed to Nunavut. The program was able to work with the Department of Environment to spread collection infrastructure to traditionally overlooked remote communities.

All of these efforts came together late in the year to help Switch Out surpass the 500,000 switch collection landmark, representing the safe recovery of 425 kilograms of mercury and the collective efforts of more participants than ever before across Canada.

This kind of success can’t be overlooked and in the fall of 2011, Summerhill won the Minister’s Award for Environmental Excellence from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment for Switch Out. This award is given to initiatives that show excellence in pollution prevention, stewardship and environmental community building. As another year draws to a close, the Switch Out team would like to offer grateful thanks to the entire community from the participants to the industry associations and beyond, who have helped achieve these results. As we look forward to 2012, we can only hope for more collaboration with our participants and partners to bring about another successful year.

L

e programme ÉlimiMercure a connue une autre année de succès incroyables grâce au dévouement et au soutien de nombreux partenaires qui contribuent à infuser de la nouveauté dans le programme, et en fait un leader dans l’industrie. En observant les succès du programme tout au long de l’année 2011, il est clair que la réussite est le résultat de la collaboration.

L’année a débuté avec beaucoup de leadership alors qu’Automobile Recycleurs du Canada prenaient l’engagement de s’assurer que tous ses membres participent à un programme de retrait de mercure. Ce geste ne montre pas seulement son leadership dans la protection de l’environnement, mais encourage également la politique de tolérance zéro pour le mercure dans l’achat de ferraille, adoptée par les producteurs d’acier canadiens.

Dans la foulée de cette annonce, plusieurs recycleurs d’acier ont eux aussi commencé à appliquer une politique de tolérance zéro pour le mercure à l’achat de ferraille. Les divers efforts dans l’application de cette politique viennent appuyer les membres d’ARC en forcent les groupes ne répondant pas aux normes à accepter de s’y plier.

La Canadian Association of Recycling Industires travaillait de pair avec l’équipe du programme ÉlimiMercure afin de concevoir une campagne de sensibilisation destinée aux membres, pour garantir leurs succès en tant que participants et responsables de la politique de tolérance zéro. Grâce à une administration conjointe de cette compagne, le partenariat avec CARI est plus fort que jamais, ce qui permettra l’amélioration constante du programme.

Alors que ces efforts étaient déployés à travers la province, une autre initiative intéressante était mise branle à l’extrême nord. Grâce à l’appui de Boston Auto de Toronto, l’un des participants les plus chevronnés du programme, l’équipe de ÉlimiMercure a reçu une formation portant sur la manière de récupérer les interrupteurs au mercure. Ils se sont en suite dirigés vers le Nunavut. Là bas, ils ont pu travailler avec le ministère de l’Environnement afin d’étendre la collecte à toutes les communautés de ce territoire traditionnellement négligé en raison de l’éloignement.

Tout ce travail à eu lieu en fin d’année ce qui a permis à ÉlimiMercure de dépasser l’objectif de 500000 interrupteurs, pour un retrait sécuritaire de 425 kilogrammes de mercure. Ce genre de succès ne passe pas inaperçu, c’est pourquoi à l’automne 2011, Summerhill à remporté le prix ontarien Minister’s Award for Environmental Excellence pour son programme Switch Out. Alors que l’année tire à sa fin, l’équipe du programme ÉlimiMercure aimerait remercier toute la communauté, les participants et les associations de l’industrie, qui ont aidé à la réalisation de ce succès.

En attendant avec hâte l’arrivée de 2012, nous souhaitons poursuivre la collaboration avec nos participants et partenaires vers une autre année couronnée de succès.

Three Heads are Better than One

Trois têtes valent mieux qu’une

Ed and June Wiersma, together with Steve Cox, are leading as a team at Allwest Auto Parts.

Ed et June Wiersma ainsi que Steve Cox font équipe pour diriger Allwest Auto Parts.

F

BY/PAR MICHAEL RAINE or many small companies, having three people share the spotlight would lead to arguments and clashing egos.

However, at Allwest Auto Parts in Edmonton, having three people share the responsibility of running the busi-

ness is considered a major benefit. By creating a business relationship based on passion, respect and a clear division of responsibility, the husband and wife team of Ed and June Wiersma, along with general manager Steve Cox, have turned Allwest into one of the most respected auto recycling facilities in Canada.

“I think by combining three different perspectives you can become very successful because you’re not looking at a problem or an incident in one way, you have three different ways of approaching it,” says June, who manages Allwest’s finances. “We discuss new ideas, problems, trends, and not any of our ideas are disregarded, or criticized. Everybody is treated with respect and each idea is given a lot of consideration. I think it’s very fortunate to have three people who are very open-minded and receptive to different ideas.”

That, in a nutshell, is why Allwest has been in business for over 20 years and continues to evolve and build on an already excellent reputation. Ed – who founded Allwest in 1987 after a shop fire destroyed his previous auto recycling facility – says the only way to be successful is to be open to change. “We don’t want to be stagnant; we don’t want to do the same old, same old. We love to bring it up a notch and raise the bar,” he says. “We’re always trying to stay ahead of the latest and the greatest when it comes to tools and equipment.”

Of course, staying ahead of the curve isn’t only about equipment.

A great owner recognizes the potential in his or her employees and knows how to utilize that potential. When Cox joined Allwest in 1997 as a labourer, Ed knew he had a young guy with passion, a good work ethic, and the smarts to run a business.

“He likes to analyze data and trends, and he has a passion for it,” Ed says of Cox. “He wants to be good at what he does and be the best he can be all the time.”

That passion allowed Cox to move from labourer to you-pull-it yard manager to general manager. “He now runs the whole show. I can say that I’m semi-retired,” laughs Ed. Cox – who worked in the aftermarket business and for Canadian Tire before joining Allwest – is quick to return the compliment saying that Ed has been a great mentor. “He’s a very smart recycler and he taught me most of what I know. One of the things he’s taught me is—this really sticks with me—he said, ‘you make your yard efficient and you have more dollars to buy cars than anyone else,’” recalls Cox. As well, he is quick

P

our plus d’une petite entreprise, le fait d’avoir trois personnes qui partagent les reines serait la cause de bien des batailles d’égo. Par contre, chez Allwest Atuo Parts à Edmonton, avoir trois personnes qui partagent les

responsabilités est plutôt considéré comme un atout majeur. En créant une relation d’affaires basée sur la passion, le respect, ainsi qu’une division claire des tâches, le couple Ed et June Wiersma et le directeur général Steve Cox ont fait d’Allwest l’une des entreprises de récupération automobile les plus respectées au Canada. « Je pense qu’en combinant trois perspectives différentes il est possible d’avoir beaucoup de succès parce qu’on ne regarde plus les problèmes d’une seule manière, on a trois différentes approches », explique June, qui dirige les finances chez Allwest. « Nous discutons de nouvelles idées, de problèmes, de tendances sans qu’aucune de nos idées soit méprisée ou critiquée. Tout le monde est traité avec respect et chacune des idées reçoit la considération nécessaire. Je pense que c’est un avantage d’avoir trois personnes ouvertes d’esprit et respectueuses envers d’autres idées ».

Voilà, en quelques mots pourquoi Allwest est en affaire depuis plus de 20 ans et continue d’évoluer et de bâtir sur une excellente réputation. Ed, qui a fondé Allwest en 1987 après qu’un incendie a détruit son ancienne entreprise de recyclage, dit que la seule façon d’avoir du succès est d’être ouvert aux changements. « On ne veut pas stagner; et faire la même vieille routine. On met la barre un peu plus haute. Nous cherchons toujours à être à l’avant-garde en matière d’outils et d’équipement ».

Bien sûr, être au-devant des tendances ne se limite pas à l’équipement. Un bon propriétaire reconnaît le potentiel de son personnel et sait comment l’utiliser. Lorsque Cox s’est joint à Allwest en 1997 en tant qu’ouvrier, Ed a bien vu que c’était un jeune rempli de passion, avec une bonne éthique de travail, et la tête qu’il faut pour diriger une entreprise. « Il aime analyser les données et les tendances, et il a de la passion ». En parlant de Cox, Ed ajoute « Il veut être bon dans ce qu’il fait et donner le meilleur de lui-même en tout temps ».

C’est cette passion qui a permis à Cox de passer d’ouvrier à gérant du libre-service, à directeur général. « Aujourd’hui, il dirige l’ensemble des opérations. Je peux dire que je suis semi-retraité », blague Ed. Cox, qui auparavant travaillait dans le marché de l’après-vente et pour Canadian Tire, n’hésite pas à rendre le compliment, expliquant que Ed a été pour lui un mentor. « C’est un recycleur très intelligent et il m’a appris presque tout ce que je sais. Une des choses qu’il m’a apprises et qui m’a marquée, est la suivante: “Assure-toi que ton chantier soit efficace et tu auras plus d’argent

“IT’S VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THREE PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY OPEN MINDED AND RECEPTIVE TO DIFFERENT IDEAS.”

praise June saying that her work on the financial side of company is crucial to their success in the yard.

“They trust me, which is great, to make any decisions regarding the business and the operations. They know and trust I will make the right decisions, “explains Cox of Ed and June’s immense faith in his abilities. “I treat this business like it’s my own.”

That’s why, as he moved up the ranks at Allwest, Cox made it his mission to establish the company as a premier example of customer service and professionalism. “When I came onboard I wanted to definitely revamp and rethink things so that we don’t act and operate like a junkyard,” recalls Cox, pointing out that he had a very good starting point because Ed had maintained a well-organized facility.

“Like anything that I personally set out to do, I want to do

pour acheter plus d’autos que n’importe qui d’autre” ».

Cox est aussi prompt à faire l’éloge de June, expliquant que son travail sur le plan financier est crucial à leur succès sur le chantier. « Ils me font confiance pour prendre n’importe quelle décision concernant l’entreprise et les opérations. Ils savent que je prendrai les bonnes décisions », affirme Cox en parlant de Ed et de June. « Je traite cette entreprise comme si c’était la mienne ».

C’est pour ça qu’en gravissant les échelons de chez Allwest, Cox s’est donné comme mission de faire de la compagnie un exemple de service à la clientèle et de professionnalisme. « Lorsque je me suis joint à eux, je voulais repenser et remodeler les choses de façon à ce que l’on ne pense pas et que l’on ne fonctionne pas comme un dépotoir ».

the best job that I can possibly do, and that to me is listening to the customers and following their lead.”

As Ed points out, customers at an auto recycler – much like customers at a collision repair facility – often don’t arrive in a happy mood. “He’s already at a loss, his car is broken, he usually doesn’t know much about his car, so we try and be as helpful as possible,” says Ed, who has a lot of experience in this area having co-owned a repair shop in the early-80s before transitioning to auto recycling. “By utilizing techniques like year, make, model and serial numbers, we can look up what kind of car the customer has, and generally figure out what his needs are.”

It’s the constantly changing nature of auto recycling that has kept Ed’s interest for nearly three decades. The types of cars that come into the yard, the parts inside, the equipment used and the processes required to do the job are all constantly evolving and only a dedicated professional can keep up. As Ed says, “It’s never boring.”

For that reason, Ed, June and Cox all agree that Allwest will still be around for many years to come, leading the industry and staying ahead of the curve. “You’re always meeting new challenges and I really enjoy that,” says June at the end of the conversation. “For me personally, I definitely can see myself working in the industry for some time yet.”

Canadian Auto Recyclers 2012

Comme le mentionne Ed, le client chez un recycleur tout comme le client d’un réparateur d’auto n’arrive pas toujours de bonne humeur. « Il est déjà perdant parce que son véhicule est endommagé, habituellement il ne sait pas grand-chose sur sa voiture, donc nous nous efforçons d’être le plus utiles possible », explique Ed qui a beaucoup d’expérience dans ce domaine, après avoir été propriétaire d’une entreprise de réparation dans les années 80 avant de faire le saut vers le recyclage automobile. « En appliquant des techniques telles qu’année, marque, modèle et numéro de série, nous arrivons à trouver le type de véhicule et quels sont les besoins ».

C’est la nature changeante du recyclage automobile qui soutient l’intérêt de Ed depuis près de 30 ans. Le type de véhicule qui arrive sur le chantier, les pièces, l’équipement, et le processus requis pour faire le travail est en constante évolution et seul un professionnel bien appliqué peut maintenir la cadence. Comme le dit Ed, « On ne s’ennuie jamais ».

Pour cette raison, Ed, June et Cox sont tous d’accord pour dire qu’Allwest sera en tête de l’industrie et de la vague pour encore un bon bout de temps. « On rencontre toujours de nouveaux défis et j’aime ça », ajoutait June pour conclure. « Pour ma part, je me vois travailler dans l’industrie encore un bon bout de temps ».

From Rookie to Industry Leader Lisa Ouellet knew nothing about auto recycling; now she’s leading the way.

or Lisa Ouellet of A-Star Automotive Recyclers, life in the auto recycling industry is just about the last thing she expected. Despite some initial reservations, Ouellet’s vision and determination has had an outstanding impact on the company and industry she has grown to respect.

Before her introduction to auto recycling, Ouellet was a first aid instructor trainer and ran the largest privately owned first aid agency in British Columbia with her mother.

However, life changed dramatically in 2004. First, she and her mother decided to sell the company and then a few short months later Ouellet partnered with her soon-to-be husband Marc in operating A-Star Automotive Recyclers Ltd. “It actually scared me when I met my husband … because it was something I did not understand,” recalls Ouellet with

our Lisa Ouellet, de A-Star Automotive Recyclers, faire carrière dans l’industrie du recyclage est probablement la dernière chose à laquelle elle s’attendait.

Malgré quelques réserves, la vision et la détermination de Ouellet ont eu un impact exceptionnel sur l’industrie et la compagnie qu’elle a appris à respecter.

Avant d’être dans le recyclage automobile, Ouellet était instructrice de premiers soins et gérait avec sa mère la plus grande entreprise privée dans le domaine en Colombie Britannique. Les choses ont changé de façon drastique en 2004. Premièrement, elles ont toutes deux décidé de vendre l’entreprise, puis quelques mois plus tard Ouellet s’est joint à son futur époux Marc pour démarrer A-Star Automotive Recyclers Ltd. « En fait, ça m’a fait peur quand j’ai rencontré mon

PROFILES: WOMEN OF THE INDUSTRY PROFILS: FEMME DE PROUE

a laugh. Like many people outside the industry, Ouellet’s vision of auto recycling was of backwoods junkyards and her first visit to the facility didn’t inspire much confidence.

“I went up to the auto recycler and I was absolutely shocked,” she remembers. “It was so dirty and you couldn’t even find a place to sit and I thought, ‘wow, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to do this.”

Undeterred, Ouellet set about ripping the place apart from top to bottom and creating a clean, organized, and inviting office.

She quickly took over the business, employees, marketing and health and safety side of A-Star while Marc took care of the parts, and the day-to-day operation side.

In order to tackle her new job, Ouellet committed herself to understanding the strange industry she never expected to join. “I had to learn very quickly and everyday I am still learning but I understand the industry now wholeheartedly and I stand behind it.”

Her first major project was creating a health and safety program, and a policy and procedure manual for the employees. The new rules and accounts were met with some hesitation, but soon almost all of the workers were on-board. To ensure the transition was easier for the workers, Ouellet implemented an employee rewards program for those who met and exceeded the new standards.

“Our yard has never been cleaner, safer and so full of pride – our front office impresses a lot of people when they walk in – so [the employees] actually really enjoy what we’ve changed.”

The new challenge Ouellet faces is the shop’s business relationships with repairers. By instituting strict standards and processes for sending parts to collision shops, and by promoting a culture of clear communication between recyclers and repairers, Ouellet says she sees a positive future in improving the recycler/repairer relationship.

Ouellet’s transformation of A-Star has been so successful she now sits on the British Columbia’s Automotive Recyclers (B-CAR) executive committee, and is a Board Member of the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC). With B-CAR, Ouellet is creating a health and safety manual to be used not only by automotive recyclers, but also by all the province’s automotive retailers.

Ouellet says it is the industry’s environmental consciousness that has made her so enthusiastic about auto recycling. It’s the environmental benefits that Ouellet believes can change people’s perceptions of the industry.

Looking to the industry’s future, Ouellet says, “Getting everybody to work together is going to be our biggest challenge but I think we can do it, I’m positive we can do it.”

One thing is certain. Ouellet will be there to work alongside her colleagues as they strive for greatness. “I’m going to stay with this industry and I can’t imagine going any other place.”

mari… parce que c’était quelque chose que je ne comprenais pas », se rappelle Ouellet en riant. Comme bien des gens, en dehors de l’industrie, la vision de Ouellet du recyclage automobile était celle d’un dépotoir et sa première visite n’inspirait guère confiance. « Je suis arrivée chez le recycleur et j’ai eu un choc », elle se rappelle. « C’était tellement sale et il n’y avait nulle part ou s’assoir, “wow, je ne sais pas si c’est pour moi!” » Sans se décourager, Ouellet s’est mise à défaire la place de haut en bas et monter un bureau propre, organisé, et invitant.

Elle a rapidement pris l’entreprise en main, employés, marketing, et le côté santé et sécurité au travail alors que Marc s’occupait des pièces et des opérations journalières.

Pour s’attaquer à son nouveau travail, Ouellet s’est engagée à comprendre cette étrange industrie qu’elle ne s’était jamais attendue à joindre. « J’ai dû apprendre rapidement et chaque jour j’apprends encore, par contre, aujourd’hui je la comprends et je la soutiens pleinement ».

Son premier projet d’envergure a été de créer un programme de santé et sécurité au travail ainsi qu’un manuel de politiques et de procédure pour le personnel. Les nouvelles règles ont rencontré un peu d’hésitation, mais bientôt presque tout le personnel était de la partie. Pour faciliter la transition, Ouellet a mis en place un programme incitatif pour ceux qui rencontrent ou excellent dans les nouveaux standards. « Notre chantier n’a jamais été aussi propre, sécuritaire, et rempli de fierté, notre bureau impressionne lorsque les gens y entrent, donc [les employés] aiment les changements ».

Le nouveau défi auquel Ouellet fait face c’est la relation entre l’entreprise et les réparateurs. En instituant des standards et procédures stricts pour l’envoi de pièces aux carrossiers ainsi qu’en encourageant une culture de communications claires entre recycleurs et réparateurs, Ouellet voit un futur amélioré pour les relations recycleurs/réparateurs.

La transformation d’A-Star par Ouellet a été un succès, elle siège maintenant sur le comité directeur de British Columbia Automotive Recyclers (BCAR), et est aussi membre-votante d’Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC). Avec B-CAR, Ouellet est en train de créer un manuel de santé et sécurité pour l’usage non seulement des recycleurs de C.-B., mais aussi pour tous les vendeurs d’automobiles de la province.

Selon Ouellet, c’est la conscience environnementale de l’industrie qui l’a rendu tellement enthousiaste au sujet du recyclage automobile. Elle croit que ce sont les bienfaits pour l’environnement qui changeront la perception qu’ont les gens de l’industrie.

En regardant vers le futur de l’industrie, Ouellet ajoute, « Encourager tout le monde à travailler ensemble sera notre plus grand défi, mais je crois que nous pouvons y arriver ».

Une chose est certaine, Ouellet sera là pour travailler de pair avec ses collègues vers de grandes choses. « Je resterai dans l’industrie, je ne m’imagine pas être ailleurs ». canadianrecycler.ca

Auto Recycling’s Standard Bearers Across the country auto recyclers are turning heads with their dedication to service, quality, the environment and the community.

O

ver the last few years, the auto recycling industry has been in the process of re-branding itself. You can sense it when speaking with auto recyclers across the country.

They’re no longer content being viewed as “scrap yards.”

The modern auto recycling facility is a clean, organized, and sophisticated business where quality, service, and environmental stewardship are top of mind.

Increasingly, and rightfully so, auto recyclers want the credit they deserve for being environmental leaders and providers of quality parts. As you’ll see in the following pages, Canada’s leading auto recyclers are constantly evolving, never satisfied with the status quo.

Whether it’s the number of cars processed, the litres of fluids recycled or the dollars raised for charity, these businesses are constantly trying to outdo themselves and each other.

From these profiles, it’s obvious that resting on one’s laurels is not an option in this industry. Technological innovation and environmental degradation do not wait for slow adopters. In terms of technology, these businesses have recognized where the industry is going and raced to be the first there. For the planet, they spotted their role in the environmental movement and encouraged others to join them.

Flip the page and find out how they did it.

Ceux qui portent l’étendard du standard Partout à travers le pays, les recycleurs automobile se font remarquer pour leur service de qualité, leur souci de l’environnement et de la communauté.

D

epuis quelques années, l’industrie du recyclage automobile cherche à refaire son image. C’est une chose que l’on remarque en parlant avec les recycleurs de partout à travers le pays. L’image du « chantier » ne leur convient plus. Les installations de recyclage automobile modernes sont des entreprises propres, organisées et sophistiquées où le souci de l’environnement est mis de l’avant.

Avec raison, les recycleurs cherchent de plus en plus à recevoir le crédit qui leur est dû pour le leadership qu’ils démontrent dans le domaine environnemental et pour la qualité de leurs pièces. Vous constaterez dans les pages qui suivent que les leaders canadiens dans le domaine du recyclage automobile sont en constante évolution, ne se contentant jamais du statu quo. Que ce soit par le nombre de voitures traitées, la quantité de fluides récupérés, ou encore le montant d’argent amassé pour des oeuvres de charité, ces entreprises cherchent toujours à se dépasser entre elles ou de façon individuelle.

Dormir sur ses lauriers n’est pas une option dans cette industrie.

L’innovation technologique et la dégradation de l’environnement ne font pas de pause pour ceux qui sont lents à l’adaptation. En ce qui concerne la technologie, ces entreprises savent vers où la tendance se dirige et s’empressent pour y arriver les premières. Elles ont trouvé leur rôle dans le mouvement environnemental, et elles encouragent d’autres à les suivre.

No Surprises

AADCO Auto Parts was one of the participants in Tire Take Back Days.

At AADCO Auto Parts, quality parts and the environment are the bottom line.

By Mike Raine From here, customers can get quality OEM parts for practically any vehicle. On the off chance that AADCO Auto Parts doesn’t have what the customer is looking for, the staff will utilize the company’s nationwide parts locating system to make sure all customers finds what they’re looking for in the shortest time possible.

A proud member of the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA), Fraser says the association’s green parts slogan, “Good for the Earth. Good for your wallet. Good for your vehicle,” sums up his core beliefs about the industry.

“Ultimately, I have a strong belief that we’re trying to leave a legacy for our kids,” explains Fraser, who is a proud father and grandfather. “That’s why AADCO has been dedicated to using strong environmental practices and technology since the very beginning.

With such commitment to its customers and the environment, it’s no surprise that AADCO Auto Parts is a leader in a demanding and challenging industry.

Brampton, Ontario

AADCO Auto Parts

Since opening in 1999, AADCO Auto Parts in Brampton, Ontario has been dedicated to quality, service, and environmental stewardship. “We deliver what we promise,” says owner Don Fraser, adding, “Green practices and customer service are the two pillars of our company.”

At AADCO, it’s all about making sure there are no bad surprises for the customer. Every part comes as described and is delivered on or before the time given. That’s because for Fraser and his staff, living up to your promises is the only way to do business.

Quality parts and timely service requires organization.

AADCO’s 87,000 sq. ft. facility, where all inventory is stored, is a testament to the company’s meticulous attention to detail. As well, every part is inspected by the dismantler and again before being sent to the customer.

“All of our parts are quality tested and tracked to ensure the best quality product is the only product that reaches our customers,” says Fraser.

Old and New Aldon Auto Salvage forges ahead to the future while preserving the best of the past.

An aerial view of Aldon Auto Salvage.

By Mike Davey

Lamont, Alberta

ALDON Auto Salvage

Terry Carter, owner of Aldon Auto Salvage, says the business has a fortunate location today, but that there was a time when that wasn’t so. The facility itself didn’t move, but Edmonton grew and transportation systems improved, so today Aldon Auto Salvage is very well positioned to supply parts when and where they’re needed. Carter is also the Northern Alberta rep for AARDA, Alberta’s provincial recycling association.

“We’re fortunate to be in Western Canada,” says Carter.

“We haven’t felt the downturn in business that some others have, and our sales have consistently grown every year.”

According to Carter, it’s not just location that aids the recycling operation in succeeding. It’s having great staff, and building what he calls a “Mutual Respect Network.”

“We try to maintain a good reputation at all costs. If people trust you, they know they can count on you to look after problems as they arise. Building that level of trust takes employees who take pride in their jobs and place of work.”

44

Instilling that pride is an area where Aldon Auto Salvage excels. The staff is made up of a mix of experienced hands and new recruits, all trained on Aldon Auto Salvage internal guarantee policies. Salespeople can guarantee the right part at the right time, and Aldon Auto Salvage makes good on that promise. “We’ve got a great crew of experienced people who have been with us a long time, sometimes 20 and 25 years.

Our production manager has been with us for 31 years,” says Carter. “We also support the Registered Apprenticeship Program for high school students. We’ve got some really good recruits that way.”

After 30 years in the automotive recycling industry, Carter is still inspired by the same things. “I feel really good about being in an industry that doesn’t sell people what they don’t need. We take pride in being environmental stewards,” says Carter. “We’ve always been environmentally conscientious, even before it became fashionable. Every year we learn a little more about what it means to do a better job of it.”

The Sum of Its Parts

Alvan and Alan Aumont’s sons, Matt and Nick.

Change is good at Arnprior Ottawa Auto Parts.

By W. Mike Dineen folks involved in the industry. Alan understands his position within the auto recycling business as one part of a greater whole—a whole that involves auto body facilities, insurance companies, customers, other auto recycling facilities, the internet, the environment, etc. Just as a well-oiled machine cannot operate without the cooperation of many smaller parts, so too is the Aumont’s business dependent upon others.

With a keen eye on every aspect of his business, Alan converts product and process into profit. “Even changing weather patterns have had an impact on business,” Alan notes. He cites the detrimental effects of flooding as an example of an unfortunate phenomenon that yields relatively untouched body parts for recycling. Like the hazardous liquids they extract from vehicles, the Aumonts squeeze as much profit from every vehicle they dismantle. Higher standards, higher extraction, higher profits—it all translates to a better business, one that will still be standing when it’s time for their two sons, Matt and Nick, to take the reins.

ARNPRIOR OTTAWA Auto Parts Ltd.

Brothers Alvan and Alan Aumont work together like a well-oiled machine—provided that machine has been properly drained at their Arnprior Ottawa Auto Parts. A family owned business since 1967, the brothers and their 30 dedicated employees process approximately 2000 vehicles annually. Having been with the company since 1969, Alan and Alvan have cultivated a rich expertise for all aspects of the business—and they couldn’t have done it without the strength and support of their most valuable assets: family and employees.

In spite of the decades under their belts, the Aumont brothers continue to see change in the industry. “We got an order for a VW radio in British Columbia,” Alan mentions when asked about trends in the industry. “A customer drove all the way from Toronto for a particular Volvo tailgate he needed.”

Alan credits the culminating effects of the Internet for his newly acquired, long-distance clientele.

At a previous ARC meeting in Banff, Alberta, Alan noted a significant improvement in the interaction between the

BOSTON Auto Wreckers

Though smaller than many of the other auto recycling facilities in Ontario, Boston Auto Wreckers is determined to be an industry leader. Sitting just five kilometres outside of downtown Toronto, owner Mike Maio says Boston is the go-to place for environment and quality-conscious drivers in Canada’s largest urban area.

To take their environmental stewardship to the next level, Boston has installed a new fluid extraction and storage system to ensure that no toxic chemicals – which are always a concern when dealing with vehicles – escape the dismantling facility. “We knew there was a better way and we wanted to set the reference standard in the industry,” says Maio, who became owner of Boston Auto Wreckers six years ago.

Maio’s passion for auto recycling reaches well beyond the confines of his own business. He is chair of the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) buying committee and uses his role in the association to improve image and influence of the auto recycling industry.

“We’re not your auto recycler/scrap yard of yesterday, we’re an association and we have members, we have our code of practice, and we are starting a movement never seen before in the industry,” Maio states passionately.

The biggest challenge for the future, he says, is keeping up with the changing technology in vehicles, such as the increased presence of hybrid vehicles in recycling yards. “It won’t be just taking the car apart anymore. Now, you have to literally relearn how you take the cars apart.”

However, Maio knows that Boston, which processes a few thousand vehicles per year, will stay ahead of the curve through ongoing training and an unbeatable commitment to quality. “It’s not just buying a used auto part anymore, you’re buying a part that someone has taken off, cared for, and maintained the standard of quality.”

For Maio and the team at Boston Auto Wreckers, ensuring top quality parts and service, combined with a passion for the environment, is the only way they know how to do business.

“We treat our clients the way they want to be treated.

They are not just a number to us, they are the very reason we are able to open the gates and turn on the lights for business every day. We understand, we hear them and we listen to all their concerns and comments.”

As for what’s in store for Carcone’s Auto Recycling in 2012, Carcone simply wishes to maintain their top level of quality and service. He notes that the changes in the industry have been drastic, with the onset of new technologies to monitor errors, as well as with OARA and the whole association working on accreditation. He hopes the automotive recycling industry continues to progress, making accountability easier to monitor for the customer as well as for the industry.

With over 33 years of experience in the automotive industry, Carcone’s is a pioneer in the Canadian auto recycling business. A second-generation owned family business, owner Michael Carcone has established a name in the business for being a leader and diversifier. In 2010, Carcone was named as one of the top 25 most influential auto recyclers, and a passion and dedication for the industry is what has led him to so many accomplishments.

“There have been many sleepless nights, constantly pushing to find something else [to work on], just trying to stay on top of what’s happening in our industry in general,” Carcone says. “I attend all industry meetings and trade shows and have the support of my staff.”

In the last 33 years the company has grown to over 80,000 sq. ft of dismantling, warehousing and refinishing space. With no plans to stop any time soon, Carcone’s is currently in the process of expanding with another 10, 000 sq. ft. facility. This new facility is scheduled to be

The Speed of Change Covey’s Auto Recyclers is a champion for the collective good of auto recycling.

Derek Covey stands up for recycled auto parts.

In spite of Covey’s Auto Recyclers fixed location in Blandford, Nova Scotia, the facility may indeed be perceived as constantly in motion. Moving at the speed of change, the facility’s owner Derek Covey “holds a finger on the pulse of the industry.” And yet, in spite of being an integral fixture of an industry always trying to keep pace with changing environmental standards, Covey’s 4-month old newborn and 2-year old toddler are never far from his reach: he lives directly beside the facility.

As president of the Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada (ARAAC), board member of the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) and member of Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA), Covey is a pacesetter for auto recycling excellence. But he doesn’t approach his success with a competitive edge; rather, he appreciates the fine-tuning effects that ever-changing government standards have upon the collective good of the entire auto recycling industry.

“People are amazed by what we do,” says Covey. Indeed, Covey himself is amazed with the forward progression of auto parts recycling. At a recent roundtable with his regional association and local auto body facilities, Covey notes a positive change in attitude: “Auto body facilities now truly prefer green, recycled parts.” With Covey’s up-to-date, computerized inventory system, finding those preferred green parts has become that much easier for his customers.

His well-maintained, clean and tidy 14-acre facility employs 12 workers recycling approximately 500 vehicles annually. Parts are backed by a 91-day in-house guarantee.

Covey’s facility has benefited greatly from programs like Retire Your Ride, Car Heaven and Recycle Your Ride.

Though Covey remembers the easygoing, less strict times of the past—just twenty years prior—he wouldn’t think of doing anything differently. His commitment to lightening his facility’s environmental footprint is matched only by a very precious cargo: his children.

A Lifelong Affair For Dominic Vetere of Dom’s Auto Parts, automotive recycling is in his blood.

By Michael Raine Since 1964 Dom’s Auto Parts in Courtice, Ontario has been leading the industry in service, quality and environmental standards. It’s no surprise given that auto recycling is a lifelong passion for Dominic Vetere, owner of Dom’s. He literally grew up on a recycling yard with his grandfather, Dominic, who has been in the business since the early-1940s and his father, Mickey, who carried on the legacy.

Sitting on 65 acres with 32 employees, Dom’s is committed to making the buying experience as easy as possible.

They will ship to anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area for free and Dom’s maintains one of the largest inventories in the business, which is also searchable online. In fact, Dom’s inventory is so expansive that they are adding 10,000 additional sq. ft. of space to the existing 15,000 sq. ft. warehouse.

Per year, Dom’s processes roughly 1,600 vehicles, mostly late model, and ensures that every part is properly

Dom’s team has been dealing top-of-line vehicles, such as this 1966 Chevy seen here in December 1969, for over 40 years.

handled and all fluids are extracted and recycled or reused.

That’s why Dom’s is CAR-certified by the U.S.-based Automotive Recyclers Association and is an accredited recycler with the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association. In order to receive these accreditations, Dom’s had to pass a strict environmental audit to ensure the facility is meeting or exceeding all environmental standards.

Dominic credits much of his success to his “many longstanding employees who have been with the company for 20-plus years. They’re happy employees who do a good job and know the industry.”

Dom’s commitment to excellence doesn’t end with customer service. During the 2011 Tire Back Days event, Dom’s collected about 1,300 old tires. On top of the two dollars for every tire that went to the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, Dom’s donated an additional dollar for every tire to the Durham chapter of Autism Ontario in honour of Dominic’s nephew Michael.

Uphill Effort Hilltop Auto Wreckers lives the change it wants to see in the business.

Hilltop Auto Wreckers in Richmond Hill, Ontario— the name at first glance seems geographically obvious in its suitability. Upon further consideration, however, the word “hilltop” acknowledges the essence of this facility’s uphill efforts toward an environmentally conscious, customer-friendly, auto recycling business.

Vice-president and manager, Ron Mollicone, describes his Richmond Hill location as “hands-free,” wherein, “everything is done for the customer.” By contrast, his brother Rob’s Newmarket location—Hilltop Auto Recyclers—is geared toward the customer who likes to get his/her “hands dirty.” The choice between each location comes down to customer preference; in the same way some drivers prefer full-service at the gas station, others are happy pumping it themselves and saving a few extra bucks.

As members of the Automotive Recyclers Association, Clean Air Foundation and the Used Car Dealers Association, Hilltop is proud to be recognized as environmentally friendly

in their yearly audits. Mollicone understands the environmental efforts of individuals, businesses and governments as an uphill battle. He says that he looks forward to the day when the law requires that all end-of-life vehicles be recycled in legitimate, properly-equipped facilities that maintain environmental standards. Ron Mollicone doesn’t regard those standards as optional.

Hilltop’s Richmond Hill location—processing about 600 vehicles annually—is primarily geared towards later model vehicles, while the facility in Newmarket focuses on earlier model vehicles, dismantling and recycling about 1000 of them every year. All five Newmarket and nine Richmond Hill employees take pride in their environmentally conscious efforts, closely adhering to the highest standards for responsbile automotive recycling.

At Hilltop, the peace of mind that accompanies the purchase of recycled auto parts is backed by a 60-day warranty and optional extended warranty.

Over the years, King’s Auto Wreckers has gone through several transformations to keep up with growing demands— including the integration of a fully-computerized inventory system. King’s Auto Wreckers is a proud member of the Auto Recyclers Association (ARA), the Ontario Auto Recyclers Association (OARA), Car Management Solutions and QRP.

King’s Auto Wreckers partners its automotive recycling trade with the business of selling welding supplies, serving the Kawarthas, Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area.

Keeping pace with industry demands, King’s Auto Wreckers has recently installed a new gas drill for safer and more efficient fluid removal from their late-model salvage vehicle inventory. An additional hoist and dismantler have also been added to the roster of equipment, in this case to accommodate increased customer demand.

LKQ’s new Toronto warehouse.

LKQ moves what’s needed, where it’s needed, when it’s needed.

By Mike Davey What is there to say about LKQ that hasn’t already been said? Quite a bit, as it turns out.

The last year has seen the organization advance in a number of ways.

With 23 locations across Canada, and well over 300 locations in North America, LKQ’s network of stores is equipped to handle auto and truck part orders across Canada with local service. Not only does LKQ provide recycled, remanufactured and reconditioned parts to the collision and mechanical repair industries, the company also supplies

Just a few of the many thousands of boxed and wrapped parts, ready and awaiting customer orders.

52

aftermarket replacement parts through its Keystone brand.

The goal is to serve as a one-stop-shop for repair products for tens of thousands of collision repair businesses, mechanical service shops and vehicle dealerships across the continent.

This year alone, LKQ has made significant investments within the Canadian market by expanding its number of locations, and by acquiring Cross Canada Body Parts and Paint Circuit. An expanded distribution network is certain to bring value to its customers, but it only tells part of the story.

The company has also increased its remanufacturing facilities in Canada, with the addition of the bumper facilities in Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Toronto, and a new wheel remanufacturing facility in Trenton.

The Trenton Wheel Plant operation has been a going concern since August. It serves the Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic regions.

“We felt it was a service that we needed to offer our client base,” says Paul Reichert of LKQ. “Trenton is useful as a strategic hub, because its location allows us to leverage our

shuttling and logistics systems to get the remanufactured wheels to our customers, usually with a turnaround time of less than 48 hours.”

In a way, it’s possible to view LKQ not simply as a parts supplier, but a logistics company. The objective is to move what’s needed to where it’s needed, with the minimum of lag time in between ordering and delivery. To further realize that objective, LKQ recently made two changes that affect the entire operation. First, the company has added to its cross dock structure by adding additional shuttle routes and delivery vehicles. This should allow for faster and more efficient movement of parts. Second, the majority of LKQ’s Canadian operations are now on a single operating platform, and one B2B website can be used by customers to access all of Keystone’s products.

Paul Reichert points out that the single-system approach brings value to both LKQ and its core customers, allowing for the company’s ISCs to accurately view all of the products available within the shuttle trading zones.

“Our fill rates and consistent quality are setting the trends within the industry. All of our parts are wrapped and/or boxed so they arrive in the same condition as they left. Over 90 percent of the LKQ parts we sell are our own parts, where we have full control over the quality and consistency,” says Reichert. “Throughout the last year, we’ve gone out of our way to make sure everyone is working towards one system. Now, when you phone an order into one LKQ location, that yard can see everything that’s within the overnight trading zone. You get access to the largest inventory anybody can supply for overnight delivery.”

LKQ would like to thank the industry and all of its customers for their business and continued support. For more information, please visit lkqcorp.com.

MARITIME Auto Parts

It’s almost impossible to overstate Ed and Lana Macdonald’s commitment and contribution to the auto recycling industry. Owners of Maritime Auto Parts since 1988, the MacDonalds have been instrumental in making auto recycling an integral part of environmental stewardship.

Ed and Lana are both past presidents of the Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic (ARAAC), Ed was also founding member and previous chair of the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) for 15 years. As well, he was one of the driving forces behind the creation of the National Code of Practice for auto recyclers, which ensures that ARC members meet a very high environmental standard. Additionally, Ed Toll Free: 1-800-565-7278 is the only Canadian on the U.S.-based Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) executive committee and will become president in 2013.

“As an individual company, and as a regional association, national association and now as an international association, we have fully endorsed the responsibility of self-stewardship and

assessment of our requirements to meet environmental standards, which are technically, in most cases, higher than many of the provincial and federal standards,” says Ed proudly.

Of course, Ed is quick to point out that he and Lana couldn’t do it alone, adding that, “the creativity and ability of our staff and the clear desire to serve our public,” is what has made Maritime one of the premier auto recycling facilities in Canada.

However, Maritime Auto Parts is certainly not an overnight success. The business, which was founded in 1932, will be celebrating its 80th anniversary this year making it one of the oldest and most respected recycling businesses in the country.

Though Ed and Lana will be celebrating the past, they constantly have their eyes on the future. “I think that the future of our success, and the reason for our success, rests with our commitment to ethics, and responsibility to take the high road of auto recycling,” says Ed. “That’s the direction of the industrt.

To make sure that we promote and develop stewardship.”

Since the McGregor family has been in business since 1962, they’ve been watching the market grow for almost 50 years. As for next year, Jeff and Tim plan to maintain their high level of efficiency and to continue to uphold OARA’s code of practice. “We plan to keep plugging away at following the proper procedures. We strive to always keep improving our ways of recycling,” says Tim. Additionally, charity car programs such as Retire Your Ride and Cash For Clunkers have also helped to drive more vehicles into the McGregor facility. 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,” says Jeff. “My wife Shelly is working by my side in the office, and my oldest son, Jon, is now working full time in our tire shop. Hopefully we’ll one day see the business handed down to the fourth generation of McGregors.”

For 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 the doors in 1962, the business has always been a family affair.

At Miller’s Auto Recycling in Fort Erie, Ontario, the family that started the business still believes in the benefits of a well-established sense of community. The facility is owned and operated by Bill, Jim, Natalie, Chris and Evan Miller. The current generation views the business as an important member of the Fort Erie community. The team at Miller’s endeavours to foster, maintain and build upon the foundations of the place they call home.

Now in its 60th year, Miller’s Auto Recycling has progressed with the auto recycling industry. Though many things have changed in the business over the years, certain things will always stay the same. “We support our community,” says the Miller family of the business’ community-minded efforts—a somewhat modest statement when seen in the context of the role the business plays in their town.

Indeed, Miller’s Auto Recycling’s efforts are more than just a mantra. Miller’s understands the value of sports

organizations and community events for bringing folks in their hometown together. As sponsors of local sports teams, the volunteer fire department and even a major sponsor of their hospital fundraising tournament, Miller’s is an integral piece of Fort Erie. The company even hosted Santa Claus on their float in this year’s Santa Claus Parade, and hold several social functions throughout the year.

With a gold seal of approval from the Auto Recyclers Association (ARA), and a proud member of the Ontario Auto Recyclers Association (OARA), the Summerhill group, Switch Out and CAR Management Solutions, Miller’s is a prime example of an environmentally responsible auto recycling facility.

The Miller family now in its 3rd generation, strives to be a progressive facility and continues to pay homage to the small-town, family values that have carried the business thus far.

According to Barb, today’s customer is a lot more savvy than when she first entered the business: “Customers are more educated, more demanding and less forgiving these days. We try to push for green or used parts, but customers still expect the perfect part from dealers.”

Barb says being a part of this industry also means having the responsibility to educate and provide the right information to those who are still hesitant about the purchasing aftermarket or OEM parts.

“It is about constant education. We speak to our customers about different types of parts and have flyers that will provide information and explain the whole process,” Sembay says.

Together with their 10 staff, Vic, Trevor and Troy are also dedicated to customer service at their 6.5 acre facility that processes about 1,200 cars each year. To provide first-rate service, the team uses a state-of-the-art computerized inventory management system that gives their customers the convenience of searching for used parts, placing an order and checking the status online. Inventory is linked with other recyclers from across North America, so if the part a customer needs isn’t available onsite, it can be easily ordered from another recycler.

Access to a wide variety of parts is just another way that Parkway Auto Recyclers provides customers with exceptional service.

Switch Out CONTEST WINNER 2011!

Parkway Auto Recyclers have been dedicated Switch Out participants since joining the program in 2006, and have recovered 1,027 mercury switches to date. Despite this impressive result, the Parkway team remains humble about their accomplishment. When asked what motivates his team to collect mercury switches, manager Trevor Generoux said “It’s the right thing to do; our team does what it takes to meet industry standards.” Switch removal is an integral part of vehicle decontamination at Parkway, and staff ensure that mercury containing switches, batteries, oil and other fluids are removed as soon as a vehicle arrives.

Parkway is affiliated with a number of programs and associations including ARC, OARA and Car Heaven. Trevor has served on OARA’s Board of Directors since 2007.

The Switch Out team would like to offer sincere thanks to Parkway Auto Recyclers for its ongoing commitment to the environment and their exemplary participation in the program.

Always Bright At Sonshine Auto Parts, outstanding service and quality is just the beginning.

By Michael Raine to provide the kind of service customers have come to expect from Sonshine. “If you order a part in the morning, you get the part in the afternoon. If you order it in the afternoon, you get it the following morning. We’re very timely on that,” explains Baker.

Sonshine even welcomed its clientele to a customer appreciation day for some food, prizes and a chance to learn more about auto recycling. “People who visit from outside can’t believe that it’s a recycling facility because of how clean it is,” says Baker proudly.

Sonshine’s service doesn’t stop with its customers. Owner Denis Desjardins believes in helping the community and has welcomed Ottawa’s fire fighters, SWAT team and police department to Sonshine’s massive property in order to conduct life-saving exercises. “We allow them to do that because it is good for them and the community,” says Baker.

For Baker, Desjardins and their 38 employees, service and attention to detail is just the beginning.

Standard Auto Wreckers does not remain in one place for very long. It moves at the speed of change, fuelled by innovation, education and communication. Owner David Gold’s maximum efforts to minimize environmental pollution demonstrate how one man and his team can affect change in the world.

In keeping with burgeoning demand, Standard Auto Wreckers’ most recent renovation includes a state-of-theart fluid evacuation system.“It is the best fluid evacuation available,” says Gold of his Crow Environmental vehicle depollution system, “and the largest system in Ontario to date.” The new system will allow for a greater quantity of vehicles to be processed, while maintaining Standard Auto Wrecker’s commitment to quality control: minimum spills, minimum spray, maximum fluid extraction.

Gold believes in education. He recognizes the large segment of the population that remains uninformed to the benefits of auto recycling—or even that it exists as an industry at all. The doors of his Scarborough facility remain

open to the public. Gold regularly meets with insurance companies like State Farm, and welcomes visitors to his facility like the group of 70 secondary school auto shop students who came in November.

Gold truly understands the importance of communication.

Perhaps that has a little something to do with his reason for hiring Nelson Beard to head his recently acquired Niagara Falls subsidiary—he holds a Masters in Education. Sales Manager Stephen Collins, a trusted employee for over 10 years, along with Business Development Manager Derek Albertini, are Standard Auto Wreckers’ eyes, ears and voice out there on the road. “We needed a presence in the field,” Gold explains in recognition of the gap he was feeling between his customers and himself.

Speaking of momentum, on the roster for the upcoming year, Gold and his colleagues have decided to start Monday mornings off with a weekly meeting to discuss the forward motion of the business.

Serraville adds, “With the new facility and the sophisticated equipment for environmental issues, we want to encourage people to dispose of their vehicless with companies that are being environmentally responsible.”

Additional renovations have been done to Thorold’s office, in part to make room for two more staff, which will “improve the quality of service to customers and the collision centres that are calling every day,” says Serravalle.

He has also equipped Thorold Auto Parts with a fleet of ten delivery trucks. “We deliver as far east as OshawaBowmanville and as far west as Kitchener-Cambridge and as far north as Barrie, and we also take care of the Niagara region,” he explains.

With many changes underway, there’s no doubt that great things are in store for Thorold Auto Parts & Recyclers.

THOROLD Auto Parts & Recyclers

After nearly 25 years in the auto recycling industry, Frank Serravalle, owner of Thorold Auto Parts & Recyclers, isn’t ready to rest on his laurels. Serravalle, who took over the business from his father in 2000, is continuously seeking out new ways to improve his business, whether its new environment-saving equipment or reducing delivery times.

Over the last year, Thorold Auto Parts has built a 4,000 sq. ft. addition to their dismantling facility, more than doubling their space. Serravalle says the extra room will allow him to hire three to four more dismantlers, which will mean more cars processed. “A big reason for the expansion is to provide better service to the collision and mechanical industry,” says Serravalle, whose business currently processes about 250 vehicles per month. “Delivery times are going to get shorter because we’re able to dismantle more cars per day.”

As well, Serravalle has installed a brand new fluid extraction system to ensure that no toxic fluids escape and harm the

Sensible Passion Valley Automotive is a business with a conscience.

At Valley Automotive in Pembroke Ontario, owner and mother of three, Mary Poirier, regards her recycling efforts as a priority to environmental protection. Most recently, the family owned business (since 1963) received the highest score in the environmental code of practice audit. “I couldn’t have achieved it without my team,” Mary says proudly of the fourteen members of her staff—who process approximately 1000 vehicles each year.

As a successful, independent business owner, Mary finds a relevant balance divided between raw passion for recycling and sensible business skills. In spite of the linear skills and training provided by her business diploma from Algonquin College, Mary still finds herself taking detours. “I avoid certain streets on the way to work,” she admits, overwhelmed by a sense of despair when she witnesses pollution.

As a board member of both ARC and OARA, Mary approaches auto recycling with an air of urgency tempered by practicality. She recognizes a need for consistency of environ-

must be attainable—without suffocating auto recyclers.

Mary understands the future of auto recycling for her own business and others as a team effort. She feels positively about the changes to the business that have come about in recent years, but is always on the lookout for new ways of spreading the word about how important auto recycling is to the future. She endeavours to increase awareness, to invent better methods of working with the insurance industry, to stand together with other independent business owners.

Valley Automotive’s careful balance between the traditions of the past, the practicality of the present, and the requirements of the future can be coined by a single, important word that is so often overlooked: conscience.

ELVs take centre stage at first ever Canadian forum on vehicle recycling.

Pleins feux sur les VHU pendant le tout premier forum canadien sur le recyclage automobile.

M

overs and shakers in the automotive recycling industry and beyond came together from across Canada over two days in November to discuss the challenges and issues surrounding end-of-life vehicles.

This meeting was the very first National Forum on the Future of Vehicle Recycling in Canada, sponsored by Environment Canada and organized by Summerhill Impact. It was two days of solid information and trend forecasting, presented by some of the best and brightest minds in the automotive recycling world.

The first day’s session focused on the need for strong end-of-life vehicle management systems to replace the ad hoc approaches that are in place across Canada. One of the goals was to enhance stakeholder knowledge of the approaches used in various jurisdictions. Topics included successes and challenges of various provincial ELV management models within Canada, international best practices and approaches to ELV management and the current status and future of ELV management across the country.

Speakers for the first day highlighted how, although this was a Canadian forum, we can draw on expertise from around the world to build better systems in Canada. Speakers included Kasper Zom of Auto Recycling Nederland Advisory (ARN); Minoru Gouko of the Japan Automotive Recyclers Association (JARA); and Michael Wilson of the U.S. based Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA). Canada was well represented too, with speakers including Krista Friesen from Summerhill Impact; Jamessee Moulton with the Nunavut Department of Environment; Colin McKean of the B.C. Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association; and Claude Bourque Chris with Recyc-Quebec.

es personnes influentes de l’industrie du recyclage automobile sont venues de partout au Canada et se sont réunies pendant deux jours en novembre pour discuter des défis et des questions entourant les véhicules hors d’usage.

Il s’agissait du tout premier forum national sur l’avenir du recyclage automobile au Canada. Commandité par Environnement Canada et organisé par Summerhill Impact, le forum était rempli d’information utile et de prévisions des tendances, le tout présenté par quelques-uns des meilleurs cerveaux de l’industrie.

La première journée a mis l’accent sur le besoin de systèmes solides de gestion des VHU, lesquels remplaceraient l’approche ad hoc actuellement en place dans le pays. Un des objectifs était de montrer les approches utilisées dans divers endroits. Les sujets discutés comprenaient notamment les réussites et les défis de divers modèles provinciaux de gestion des VHU, les meilleures pratiques et les méthodes pour gérer les VHU à travers le monde ainsi que l’état actuel et l’avenir de la gestion de VHU au Canada.

Les conférenciers ont noté que, bien qu’il s’agisse d’un forum canadien, l’expertise internationale peut aider à construire de meilleurs systèmes au Canada. Les conférenciers comprenaient Kasper Zom de Auto Recycling Nederland Advisory (ARN); Minoru Gouko de la Japan Automotive Recyclers Association (JARA); et Michael Wilson de l’association américaine Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA).

Le Canada était tout aussi bien représenté, il y avait notamment Krista Friesen de Summerhill Impact; Jamessee Moulton du ministère de l’Environnement du Nunavut; Colin McKean de l’Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association de la Colombie-Britannique; et Claude Bourque de Recyc-Québec.

Le Code environnemental du Canadian Auto Recyclers a aussi été présenté comme étant une ressource qui pourrait devenir un programme d’accréditation permettant de surveiller le respect pendant un audit annuel.

En fin de journée, les participants sont allés à AADCO Auto Parts à Brampton pour une réception et une visite des lieux. Il s’agissait d’une

gram, in order to monitor compliance against an annual audit protocol.

After the close of the day’s session, attendees were bused to AADCO Auto Parts in Brampton for a reception and tour of the facility. It was an eye-opening experience for anyone unfamiliar with how a fully modernized auto recycling works. As one OEM representative was heard to remark “If a picture is worth a thousand words, visiting here tonight is worth an entire days worth of discussion and presentations. This is unbelievable.”

Speakers for the second day included Steve Fletcher with OARA and ARC; Mark Nantais from the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association; Ron Watkins of the Canadian Steel Producers Association; David Adams with the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers of Canada; and Dr. Leonard Shaw, from Canadian Association of Recycling Industries.

The second day’s session focused on successfully implementing responsible ELV management in Canada. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs are some of the most commonly discussed methods for this, but those systems also have their disadvantages. Europe is often held up as an example of how well those programs work. However, during the Open Dialogue portion of the day’s event, it was noted that EPR is not working in Europe as well as some people would like to believe.

“EPR is not necessarily working in Europe,” said Kaspar Zom of Auto Recycling Nederland Advisory. “More than half of the member states are not meeting their targets.”

The very concept of having targets came under fire as well, for a variety of reasons. Although one delegate did point out that having a target gives you something to aim for, others noted that there are difficulties in establishing exactly where the baseline should be in the first place.

There’s also the possibility that, if peculiar targets need to be met, then remote communities may be left out of the loop.

“I’ll say this: If I’ve got to hit a target, I’m not going to go to Nunavut,” said Colin McKean of B-CAR. This National Forum did not lay out the exact plan that recyclers, repairers, government and other concerned stakeholders will follow regarding end-of-life vehicles, nor was it supposed to. However, what was achieved is an excellent first step along a complex road, and many entities around the world are following this unique path made in Canada.

The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) were anxiously awaiting results from the Forum to use in a planning meeting they held in early December to determine what role the provinces must play in ensuring old vehicles are managed properly in Canada.

La deuxième journée a porté sur la manière de bien implanter une gestion des VHU au Canada. Des programmes de Responsabilité élargie des producteurs (REP) font partie des méthodes les plus discutées pour atteindre ce but, mais ces systèmes ont aussi des désavantages.

L’Europe est souvent montrée en exemple, mais la partie discussion de la journée a révélé que la REP ne fonctionne pas aussi bien qu’on puisse le penser. « La REP ne fonctionne pas nécessairement en Europe, dit Kaspar Zom de Auto Recycling Nederland Advisory. Plus de la moitié des États membres n’atteignent pas leurs objectifs. » L’idée même d’avoir des objectifs a été vivement critiquée pour différentes raisons. Bien qu’un des délégués ait indiqué qu’un objectif donne un but à atteindre, les autres ont dit qu’il était difficile d’établir l’objectif minimal en premier lieu. Il était aussi possible que si des objectifs précis doivent être atteints alors des communautés éloignées pourraient être laissées pour compte. « Si je dois atteindre un objectif, je n’irais pas m’installer au Nunavut », a dit Colin McKean de B-CAR. Ce forum national n’a pas établi le plan exact que les recycleurs, les réparateurs, le gouvernement et les autres personnes concernées devront suivre, et ce n’était pas son but. Par contre, il s’agissait d’un premier pas sur une route complexe, et de nombreuses organisations partout dans le monde suivent le chemin unique tracé par le Canada. Le Conseil canadien des ministres de l’environnement (CCME) attendait impatiemment les résultats du forum pour planifier une réunion qu’ils ont tenue au début du mois de décembre afin de déterminer le rôle que doivent jouer les provinces pour que les vieux véhicules soient bien gérés au Canada.

APR – Unis recycleurs, réparateurs, et assureurs australiens dans l’harmonie.

APR brings recyclers, repairers and insurers together.

BY/PAR MICHAEL RAINE

I

t’s no secret in the Canadian automotive industry that relationships and business processes between auto recyclers, repairers, and insurers are not ideal. There is too much friction and no well-defined solution to improve matters. Fortunately, this can change and one country is showing how. APR in Australia has successfully dealt with the traditional obstacles to better recycler-repairer-insurer relations.

“What would I do in the Canadian market? I would address the key issues very, very quickly,” says Chris Daglis, managing director of APR. For Daglis, there are eight key issues that must be addressed before all parties improve their efficiency and profits. These issues should not be viewed and/or addressed in isolation. They are interconnected and only a comprehensive process that deals with them all can be successful, he notes.

The first issue is the quality of recycled parts sent to collision shops.

“Repairers and recyclers will have their different levels of understanding of quality,” says Daglis. He adds, repairers must communicate their needs and expectations while recyclers must meet and exceed those needs and expectations. “The way I see it, quality is a given, it is expected by the customer. Just deliver it every time, delight the customer and the rewards are multiple for all parties,” says Daglis.

The second issue is service. “What we’ve done is ask the [repairer], ‘what do you need?’” says Daglis of the Australian approach. “I talk about how they want us to react to their requests, how frequently they

I

l est bien connu dans l’industrie automobile canadienne que les relations et échanges entre recycleurs, réparateurs et assureurs ne sont pas des meilleurs. Il y a trop de friction et aucune avenue claire pour y remédier.

Heureusement, les choses peuvent changer et un pays montre la voie.

APR en Australie réussit à gérer les obstacles traditionnels pour améliorer les relations entre recycleurs, réparateurs et assureurs. « Que faire dans le contexte canadien? J’adresserais les problèmes illico », explique Chris Daglis, directeur général chez APR. Selon Daglis, il y a huit situations à cibler pour permettre à tous les partis d’augmenter leur efficacité et leur profitabilité. Ces problèmes ne doivent pas être gérés de façon isolée. Ils sont interdépendants et seul un processus qui les inclus tous peut avoir du succès, note t’il.

Le premier problème, c’est la qualité des pièces recyclées envoyées chez le carrossier. «Les réparateurs et les recycleurs diffèrent d’opinion en ce qui concerne la qualité,» explique Daglis. Il ajoute que les réparateurs doivent communiquer besoins et attentes, alors que les recycleurs doivent surpasser ces besoins et attentes. Selon moi, la qualité doit y être, les clients s’y attendent donc elle doit être fournie à chaque fois. Un client heureux génère des bénéfices multiples pour tous, affirme Daglis.

Le second problème est le service. « On a demandé aux réparateurs, de quoi ils ont besoin » explique Daglis au sujet de l’approche australienne. « J’ai parlé de la façon dont ils veulent qu’on réagisse face à leurs demandes, la fréquence des livraisons. Tout repose sur la communication et des relations qu’on entretient avec nos clients. L’élément clé est de com-

wish to receive deliveries - it’s all about communication and the relationship we have with our customers. The key thing is to understand what the customer wants and then tailor a product or a service to that specific repairer’s requirement.”

Issue three, accuracy of part description and interpretation, is where APR got innovative.

“Quite simply, we centralized the process,” explains Daglis. “We ensured that the request is dealt with within set parameters every time. The result is a consistent experience for the repairer: consistent pricing, consistent turnaround times and consistent quality grading.”

To do this, the organization created the APR Alternative Parts System, which handles over 10,000 parts requests per month. In short, repairers send their request to APR and include full details of the vehicle: VIN numbers, year of production, colour of the vehicle and clear photos. APR then manages the response back to the repairer.

By creating a centralized system with clearly set parameters for both parties, APR was able to ensure that requests were detailed,

prendre ce que le client veut et de lui offrir un produit ou un service spécifique à ses besoins. » Troisième problème, décrire les pièces avec justesse. Ici, l’APR se fait créative. « Nous avons centralisé le processus, tout simplement » explique Daglis. « On s’assure de traiter les demandes dans des paramètres fixes à “chaque fois”. Il en résulte plus de cohérence pour le réparateur, plus de similitude dans les prix, les temps d’attente et l’évaluation qualitative. » Pour y arriver, l’organisation a créé l’Alternative Parts System d’APR qui répond à plus de 10 000 demandes de pièces par mois. En résumé, le réparateur envoie une demande à APR en incluant les détails du véhicule : numéro NIV, année de production, couleur ainsi que de bonnes photos. APR s’occupe de répondre au réparateur.

En créant un système centralisé avec des paramètres fixes pour tous, APR est certain que les demandes sont détaillées et complètes, tout en s’assurant que les pièces recyclées sont satisfaisantes ou excèdent les besoins.

Le quatrième problème est l’impact des pièces recyclées sur le cycle et l’efficacité. Pour les réparateurs, un cycle plus long représente une perte de revenue. De même, pour les compagnies d’assurance les réclamations résolues rapidement représentent des économies. Pour cette raison, on reproche souvent aux pièces recyclées de trop longs délais à la livraison et la préparation.

Ici encore, APR se démarque. Permettre aux réparateurs de n’envoyer qu’une demande alors qu’APR détermine la disponibilité de la pièce, a permis de réduire le temps d’attente et de rendre disponible des pièces de meilleure qualité.

Voila ce qu’APR appelle (KAMS) Key Account Management Strategy. « KAMS c’est : comprendre ce dont le client a besoin, faire les transactions avec les gestionnaires de haut niveau, et en suite bâtir une capacité opérationnelle qui permet de livrer la marchandise, » expliquait Daglis. Un élément clé est de déterminer à l’avance le coup des pièces et les marges de profits de manière à ne pas alourdir le cycle avec du magasinage pour obtenir les meilleurs prix. Daglis affirme que cette approche épurée a écourté le processus d’au moins une journée.

Le cinquième problème, c’est l’impact qu’ont les problèmes ci-haut men-

complete and that the recycled parts met or exceeded the needs of the repairer.

The fourth issue is the impact of recycled parts on efficiency and cycle time. For repairers, long cycle times mean lost revenue. As well, for insurance companies the sooner a claim can be closed the more money is saved. One of the traditional complaints about recycled parts is they take too long to arrive and require too much extra preparation time.

This, again, is where APR has been different. Allowing repairers to send out only one request and then having APR determine the availability and location of the most suitable parts cut a lot of time out of the process and made more quality parts available.

This forms part of what APR has branded the Key Account Management Strategy (KAMS). “KAMS is about understanding exactly what the customer requires, doing the deal on parts at the most senior levels, and then building an operational capability to actually deliver the product,” explains Daglis. A key point here is that deals on the costs of parts and profit margins are decided ahead of time by business owners, general managers and shop managers. That way cycle times do not suffer from excessive haggling and price shopping. Daglis says this streamlined approach has cut The diagram below details the approach at APR in the area of screening out bad quality parts and the subsequent impact on consistent take-up./ Le diagramme ci-dessous explique la démarche at least a day out of the process. de l’APR pour le dépistage des pièces de mauvaise qualité et la mesure de l’impact ultérieur.

Un standard international pour la récupération.

The case for international standards in salvage.

BY/PAR ANDY LATHAM

T

echnical advances in motor vehicles are making repair much harder and more costly. This has the potential to increase instances of fraud and sub-standard repair – issues that can seriously harm the reputation of the auto recycling industry. How can the global auto recycling industry continue to improve standards, increase consumer protection and eradicate fraud, whilst keeping costs as low as possible?

Over the last 10 years the salvage marketplace has changed greatly, from being an industry that operated very locally, motor salvage went national and is now a global industry generating cash in the billions annually.

Many of the salvage codes and guidelines written over the past 15 years have focused on the unique circumstances in each individual country. Unfortunately, some of these codes fail to reflect the global nature of motor salvage. What could be outlawed in one country is allowed in another, and the motor salvage industry moves motor salvage across borders to the best advantage of their business.

And what can the motor salvage industry do about this?

OPTION 1

L

es progrès technologiques dans le domaine du véhicule automobile rendent les réparations couteuses et complexes. Ce changement ouvre la porte à la fraude et aux réparations de basse qualité. Une situation qui peut causer des torts importants à la réputation de l’industrie du recyclage automobile. Comment l’industrie peut-elle continuer à améliorer les standards, protéger les consommateurs et enrayer la fraude, tout en minimisant les coûts?

Durant la dernière décennie, le marché de la récupération a beaucoup changé. Anciennement une industrie locale, la récupération automobile est devenue nationale puis mondiale et génère aujourd’hui des millions de dollars annuellement.

Plusieurs des codes et règlements rédigés durant les 15 dernières années ont mis l’accent sur les particularités de chaque région. Malheureusement, certaines de ces règles ne répondent pas aux besoins d’une industrie mondiale. Ce qui est illégal dans une région est souvent acceptable dans une autre alors que l’industrie transporte des pièces au-delà des frontières selon les besoins des entreprises.

Qu’est-ce que l’industrie de la récupération peut y faire?

OPTION 1

Do nothing, watch the unlicensed and illegal operations take all the vehicles that they can, repair them cheaply and poorly, and not take any responsibility for consumer protection, while bringing the salvage industry into dis-repute and harming the public perception of this industry.

 OPTION 2 Continue to work to current national standards, without reference to other countries or salvage associations, which would have an impact locally but fail to address vehicles that are subject to cross border trading.

OPTION 3

Ne rien faire, observer alors que des entreprises non accréditées ou illégales prennent les véhicules qu’ils peuvent, offrent des réparations peu chères et de basses gammes n’acceptant aucunes des responsabilités qui leurs incombes, le tout en minant la crédibilité de l’industrie.

 OPTION 2 Continuer de travailler avec les standards nationaux actuels, sans tenir compte d’autres pays ou d’autres associations, avec pour conséquence un impact local, mais aucune incidence sur les véhicules qui traversent la frontière.

OPTION 3

Continue to work locally to raise standards as much as possible, but also work globally to get more countries working towards similar standards.

Continuer le travail local pour améliorer les standards tout en travaillant aussi au niveau international pour encourager d’autre pays à adhérer à des standards similaires.

To do this, the motor salvage industry needs to produce a set of guidelines, or standards, that the global salvage industry can work towards, a set of standards that give consumers the confidence to

The U.K.’s proposed motor salvage code of practice takes some of the best parts of all current standards and codes of practice, refined and updated to allow for cross border trading, designed to be flexible enough to update when new technology or further research and testing show that changes are needed.

The code sets minimum standards, but allows for tougher local standards where applicable. For example, allowing the reuse of non-deployed airbags in the U.S. under the strict rules and protocols in place would not be allowed in the U.K. because

the Code of Practice specifically excludes this practice.

The code is designed to support all legitimate motor salvage and auto recycling operations, those that care about their individual businesses, their staff, their customers, the environment and the need to have a sustainable business plan.

An effective code of practice could avoid legislation. Governments can see the industry is taking responsibility for their actions, ensuring: `` more quality recycled parts to repair vehicles `` increased consumer safety `` more repair opportunities `` reduction of repair costs `` reduction in CO2 as a direct result of less new parts being used `` reduction of fraud ` ` increased numbers of legitimate operators `` increased professionalism and customer perception of the motor salvage industry This can only add benefit to the body repair and auto recycling industries. As consumers see standards being raised, they will become more comfortable purchasing repaired vehicles and recycled parts.

La suggestion du Royaume-Uni d’un code d’usage de la récupération englobe quelques un des meilleurs éléments de tous les codes et standards actuels. Elle les redéfinit en permettant les échanges outre frontière. Le tout, avec une flexibilité laissant place aux changements lorsque la recherche et les technologies démontrent que des changements sont de mise.

Le code établit des normes de base, tout en acceptant des normes locales plus sévères, lorsque nécessaire. Par exemple, en autorisant la réutilisation des sacs gonflables non déployés aux É.-U., en vertu de règles strictes et de protocoles locaux, alors qu’une telle pratique ne serait pas autorisée au Royaume-Uni, étant expressément interdite par leur Code of Practice.

Le code est conçu pour tenir compte de toutes les entreprises légitimes de recyclage automobile, toute celle qui se soucie d’elle-même, de leurs employés, clients, de l’environnement ainsi que de la nécessité d’avoir un plan d’affaire durable.

Un code de pratique efficace peut prévenir la législation alors que les gouvernements verront que l’industrie se responsabilise, ayant pour résultat : `` Pièces recyclées de meilleure qualité `` Augmentation de la sécurité des consommateurs `` Plus de réparations `` Réduction des coûts de réparation `` Réduction des émissions de Co2 suite à l’usage de moins de pièces neuves `` Réduction des fraudes `` Un plus grand nombre d’entreprises légitimes `` Plus de professionnalisme et une meilleure perception de l’industrie.

Ceci ne peut qu’occasionner des avantages à l’industrie du recyclage et de la réparation automobile. Le client étant témoin d’une amélioration des standards, il sera plus à l’aise à l’achat de véhicules réparés et de pièces recyclées.

A BRIEF HISTORY of the Canadian

LE PARCOURS qui a MENÉ au GUIDE environnemental

The National Code of Practice has become the standard for ELVs. Here’s how it happened.

Un standard national de bonnes pratiques pour la gestion des VHU: nous y sommes parvenus.

Auto Recyclers’ Environmental Code

préparé par Canadian Auto Recycleurs

BY/PAR STEVE FLETCHER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ARC/OARA > DIRECTEUR GÉNÉRAL ARC / OARA

A

s the Canadian Auto Recyclers’ Environmental Code (CAREC) gains acceptance across the country, it’s important to pause and reflect on the history and acknowledge the early pioneers and understand the elements of its ac-

ceptance and success.

The process to develop CAREC began over 20 years ago when Neil James of Ralph’s Auto Supply was chair of the B-CAR Division of the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA). James was frustrated that no official could explain the regulatory requirements for processing an endof-life vehicle (ELV). B-CAR took this issue to Environment Canada and the BC Ministry of Environment (MoE), and with the financial assistance of these regulatory agencies and the Insurance Corporation of BC, Ministry of Transport and B-Car, the first Environmental Code of Practice (CoP) was developed in 1995 by Dr. Hamdy El Rayes.

The first CoP was a good document; however, it was difficult to understand because the best management practices were interspersed with the legal requirements, impossible to implement because the forms were too complex, and was not supported by the majority of automotive recyclers that were not B-CAR members.

In 1997, James met Colin McKean. McKean had worked for the BC Ministry of Environment for 20 years and one of his last projects in the ministry was the implementation of pollution prevention projects for industrial sites.

Neil James of Ralph’s Auto Supply, shown here receiving an environmental award from the Mayor of Richmond, was chair of the B-CAR Division of the Automotive Recyclers Association. James was frustrated that no official could explain the requirements for processing end-of-life vehicles.

B-CAR took this issue to Environment Canada and the BC Ministry of Environment (MoE).

Dr. Hamdy El-Rayes develops the first Environmental Code of Practice for automotive recyclers.

British Colombia’s recyclers were trained to the CoP in 1996 in a three-day marathon training course.

1996

1995 Neil James, de Ralph’s Auto Supply, recevant un prix environnemental du maire de Richmond, était président de la division B-CAR de l’Automotive Recyclers Association. James était mécontent du fait qu’aucun agent ne pouvait expliquer les exigences réglementaires pour le traitement de VHU. B-CAR s’est adressé à Environnement Canada et au ministère de l’Environnement (C.-B.).

AREC, le guide de bonnes pratiques de la gestion des véhicules hors usage, préparé par Canadian Auto Recycleurs, gagne en intérêt à travers le pays. Un moment de réflexion s’impose pour mettre en relief ses pionniers, comprendre son historique et les raisons de son succès.

Les démarches pour la mise sur pied de CAREC ont été entreprises il y a plus de 20 ans alors que Neil James de Ralph’s Auto Supply était président de la division B-CAR de Automotive Recycling Association. James était mécontent du fait qu’aucun représentant ne pouvait expliquer les exigences réglementaires pour le traitement de véhicule hors usage. B-CAR a amené le problème devant Environnement Canada et le ministère de l’Environnement de la C.-B. Avec l’aide financière de ces deux organismes; de l’ICBC, du ministère des Transports ainsi que de B-CAR, le guide Code of Practice (CoP) fut enfin développé en 1995 par Dr Hamdy El Rayes.

La première version, quoique bonne, comportait quelques difficultés : problèmes de compréhensions résultant de l’entrelacement de règles de bonnes pratiques avec les exigences légales, formulaires complexes rendant l’application difficile, manque d’appuis de la majorité des recycleurs qui n’étaient pas membres de B-CAR. En 1997, James rencontre Colin McKean. McKean avait fait carrière durant 20 ans au MoE, l’une de ses dernières tâches visait l’implantation de projets de prévention contre la pollution de sites industriels.

Dr Hamdy El-Rayes a développé le premier guide Code of Practice (CoP).

Les recycleurs de la Colombie-Britannique ont été formés à ce CoP en 1996 pendant un cours de formation de trois jours.

Canadian Auto Recyclers 2012

In 1997, the Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association (AREA) was formed and its mission was to implement the CoP for B-CAR and non-BCAR members. AREA and Colin McKean implemented changes to the CoP and with funding from B-CAR and government agencies, the CoP was tested and refined to a point where it formed the basis of the national code that we use today.

1997 En 1997, l’Automotive Recycleurs Environmental Association (AREA) est créée pour mettre le CoP sur pied autant pour les membres de CAR que les autres. AREA et Colin McKean y apportent des changements et, avec l’aide financière de B-CAR et d’agences gouvernementales, le CoP est testé et perfectionné de manière à ce qu’il devienne la base du guide national utilisé aujourd’hui.

FEATURES ARTICLES DE FOND Also in 1997, the Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association (AREA) was formed and its mission was to implement the CoP for BCAR and non-B-CAR members. AREA and McKean implemented the changes to the CoP and with some funding from B-CAR and government agencies, the CoP was tested and refined to a point where it formed the basis of the national code that we use today.

James lobbied almost every city, municipality and regional district to adopt the first CoP as a prerequisite to obtain an automotive recycling licence. Fortunately, the city of Abbotsford adopted the CoP in 2000 in a bylaw that required the 11 automotive dismantlers within city limits to be certified to the CoP. As the CoP was phased in over three years in Abbotsford, it became clear that the legitimate automotive recyclers would have no problem meeting the CoP. It was also clear that the “fly-by-night” automotive recyclers would not meet the CoP and were therefore shut down by Abbotsford bylaw officers.

The successful implementation of the AREA CoP in Abbotsford allowed the industry to demonstrate to the BC Government that a regulation similar to the Abbotsford bylaw was good for the industry.

After several years of lobbying by B-CAR and AREA, the BC Ministry of Environment enacted the Vehicle Dismantling and Recycling Industry Environmental Planning Regulation. This regulation requires all automotive dismantlers and recyclers in BC to have an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for their facility. The AREA CoP was easily modified to meet the new legal requirements for an EMP. The next breakthrough for the CoP was in 2008. Environment Canada included the requirement that recyclers accepting Retire Your Ride (RYR) vehicles be inspected to a national CoP. The key to the success of Environment Canada’s program was that they provided funding for training as well as on-site inspections. Now, more than 400 automotive recyclers across Canada have been certified to the CoP. Increasingly this solution is being viewed as a model for other countries.

The development and expansion of the CoP has come a long way since its start over 20 years ago. The primary reason that the CoP has been successful is its acceptance and support by the automotive recycling industry. Without the ongoing support of the industry, the first CoP envisioned by Neil James in the early 1990s would never have been developed or implemented.

Abbotsford, BC adopts the first CoP as a bylaw that required auto dismantlers within city limits to be certified to the CoP.

2000 Abbotsford (C.-B.) fut la première ville à adopter le code, stipulant que les démanteleurs d’automobiles de la ville devaient être certifiés CoP.

After years of lobbying

by B-CAR and AREA, the B.C. Ministry of Environment enacted the Vehicle Dismantling and Recycling Industry Environmental Planning Regulation.

2007 Après plusieurs années de pressions, B-CAR et AREA réussissent à convaincre le ministère de l’Environnement de C.-B. à promulguer la Vehicule Dismantling and Recycling Industry Environmental Planning Regulation.

Toujours en 1997, l’Automotive Recycleurs Environmental Association (AREA) voit le jour avec pour mission la mise sur pied de CoP autant pour les membres de CAR que pour ceux qui ne l’étaient pas. AREA et McKean apportent des changements au CoP et avec l’aide financière de B-CAR et d’agences gouvernementales, le CoP est mis à l’épreuve et perfectionné de manière à ce qu’il devienne la base du guide national en usage aujourd’hui.

James a fait pression sur presque toutes les villes, municipalités et district régional pour qu’ils fassent du premier CoP un prérequis à l’obtention d’un permis pour le recyclage automobile. Heureusement, en 2000, la ville d’Abbotsford adopte le CoP dans un règlement municipal qui oblige les 11 démanteleurs automobile de la ville à recevoir la certification CoP. Les trois années d’implantation du CoP à Abbotsford ont permis de confirmer que les recycleurs légitimes n’auraient aucune difficulté à obtenir la certification, alors que les recycleurs véreux furent forcés de plier bagage.

Le succès de AREA CoP à Abbotsford a permis de démontrer au gouvernement de la C.-B. la nécessité d’une réglementation de ce genre dans l’industrie. Après plusieurs années de pressions, B-CAR et AREA réussissent à convaincre le ministère de l’Environnement de C.-B. à promulguer la Vehicule Dismantling and Recycling Industry Environmental Planning Regulation. Cette réglementation force tous les démanteleurs et recycleurs de C.-B. à posséder un plan de gestion de l’environnement (EMP). La modification du AREA CoP pour répondre aux nouvelles exigences légales d’un (EMP) n’a pas été difficile.

En 2008, CoP fait une nouvelle percée. Environnement Canada requière que les recycleurs qui participent au programme Adieu bazou rencontre les exigences d’un CoP national. Le succès du programme gouvernemental est grandement lié au fait qu’en plus d’inspecter, des sommes sont également allouées à la formation.Aujourd’hui, plus de 400 recycleurs automobiles à travers le Canada sont certifiés CoP. Cette solution Canadienne est de plus en plus mentionnée mondialement comme étant une approche progressive et un modèle pour d’autres pays.

L’élaboration et l’expansion de CoP ont fait de grands pas depuis ses débuts il y a 20 ans. La principale raison de son succès c’est l’approbation et l’appui de l’industrie du recyclage automobile. Sans le support constant de l’industrie, la première ébauche du CoP imaginée par Neil James n’aurait jamais vu le jour.

Environment Canada included the requirement that recyclers accepting Retire Your Ride (RYR) vehicles be inspected to a national CoP. The CoP was modified by the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) so that it could be used by the RYR Program and inspections could be done in every province.

2008 Environnement Canada requière que les recycleurs participant au programme Adieu bazou rencontrent les exigences d’un CoP national. Le CoP a été modifié par l’Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) pour qu’il puisse être utilisé par le programme Adieu bazou et que les inspections puissent être effectuées dans toutes les provinces.

Now, more than 400 automotive recyclers across Canada have been certified to the CoP and the approach has been embraced by ARC, Environment Canada, vehicle manufacturers and automotive dismantlers across the country. Increasingly this Canadian solution is being viewed globally as very progressive and a model for other countries.

TODAY

Plus de 400 recycleurs automobiles sont certifiés CoP et le CoP a été adopté par l’ARC, Environnement Canada, les fabricants de voitures et les démanteleurs d’automobiles dans tout le pays. De plus en plus, cette solution canadienne est perçue comme étant un modèle pour les autres pays.

here are opportunities to get positive media exposure for your business that won’t cost you anything but time, effort and perseverance. The economic spin-off from a local story can be pure gold. Not only is the message delivered “free,” but also garners added credibility and importance when it’s disseminated in a news environment.

The good news for auto recyclers is that both the environment and economy are hot topics today. Your local media are always looking for new angles and the recycled parts message happens to cover both!

So how do you get media attention? First, you have to understand the rules of the game. The media is always hungry for information, but it has to be the right information. The trick is to feed them ideas that their particular audience will perceive as news or useful information.

Ask yourself, “who cares?” and “why now?” and the information you provide will be far more likely to result in coverage.

Start by identifying the people that are most likely to be interested: environmental specialists, automotive editors, talk show hosts, etc. Remember that when contacting radio or TV, the person you need to speak to is the producer of a show, not the on-air host.

Send a “pitch” letter explaining straightforwardly what you have to offer. Describe your credentials and offer your expertise on particular topics.

Regardless of whether they run with your ideas or take their own approach to the story, your efforts will rarely be in vain. Over time you will establish yourself as the local “go-to” expert.

Stunts Get Attention

Creating a media event or publicity stunt can get you coverage that might otherwise be overlooked. The visuals and sound bites make great news.

Look for chances to piggyback on larger community events, or events like Tire Take Back Days if you’re a member of an association. Riding the momentum of these promotions can often get you more attention than you could muster on your own, particularly in larger markets. I recall one recycler who was making a sizable charitable donation on behalf of a recycling association. Rather than doing the old “giant cheque” routine, he tied his donation in with the Salvation Army toy drive. He built and filled a giant toy box on his truck and delivered it during the launch event. It earned him a live interview on the CTV evening news.

Understanding what media people consider newsworthy and providing a ready-made story line may land you a feature. When news breaks, journalists and broadcasters aren’t merely covering the news, but lending insight into the implications of what’s happening. If you can be the local angle for a major news item, or help explain the significance of a growing trend, you become a valuable resource.

If you’re writing a press release, don’t clutter the message. Forget about cute headlines. Editors need quick answers to three questions: what is this; who is it for; and where is the news significance? If it’s not clear, they won’t bother trying to investigate further.

Get the five W’s into the lead paragraph, and write it in a dynamic style. Ask yourself if the reader would get the basic point of the entire release. Would they comprehend who it benefits and why? Would their target audience want to read on and learn more? If not, rewrite it until it’s both entertaining and informative. The most common editorial criticism of press releases is “they sound like advertising.” Use the same objective tone that a journalist would use.

Finally, remember that media people work on deadlines. Make sure the contact person is well informed about the subject of the release and can talk intelligently about the main benefits of recycling: it’s good for your vehicle, good for the environment and saves money. Provide plenty of contact mechanisms, such as cell phone numbers and email addresses. Play the media game by their rules and you’ll be the winner.

décider quand, comment (ou même si) ils vous donneront suite. La meilleure stratégie est celle de l’approche douce. Vous partagez des idées et des informations et vous tâchez de rester en contact à quelques reprises durant l’année avec une idée ou un angle nouveau. Tenter de convaincre de façon trop insistante ne peut que les faire fuir.

Qu’ils choisissent vos idées ou qu’ils développent leur propre approche, vos efforts n’auront pas été vains. Avec le temps, vous établirez la réputation de « l’expert local » et vous jouirez des bénéfices d’une couverture médiatique gratuite.

Créer un événement médiatique ou un cou de pub peut vous attirer une couverture qui vous aurait autrement échappée. Les effets sonores et visuels font d’excellentes nouvelles.

Cherchez à vous greffer à des événements communautaires d’envergure, ou à des événements reliés à votre association. En vous joignant à la vague de ces événements, vous recevrez plus d’attention qu’en solo, particulièrement dans les marchés plus grands. Je me rappelle un recycleur qui a fait un don important de la part d’une association de recyclage. Plutôt que de présenter le bon vieux « chèque géant », il a joint son don à une collecte de jouet de L’armée du Salut. Il a placé un coffre à jouets géant et bien rempli sur son camion, puis il a fait le « livreur » pour le lancement de l’événement.

Ce geste lui a valu une entrevue en direct sur CTV News.

Avoir une bonne compréhension de ce qui « fait la nouvelle » peut vous apporter la couverture désirée. Les journalistes et annonceurs ne font pas que rapporter les événements, ils apportent leur point de vue sur ce qu’implique la nouvelle. Si vous devenez l’angle local pour une nouvelle importante ou si vous expliquez l’envergure d’une nouvelle tendance, alors vous devenez une ressource importante.

Lorsque vous rédigez un communiqué de presse, évitez les fioritures, pas de titre accrocheur. Les rédacteurs cherchent des réponses rapides à trois questions... « C’est quoi », « pour qui », et « qu’est-ce qui fait que c’est une nouvelle ». Si les réponses ne sont pas claires, ils ne chercheront pas plus loin.

Assurez-vous d’inclure ces réponses dans le premier paragSlick design helps, but your raphe, de façon dynamique.

Sauront-ils pour qui et pourquoi? Leur public cible aura t’il envie d’en savoir plus? Si la réponse est non, rédiger de nouveau jusqu’a ce que votre message soit à la fois intéressant et informatif.

La critique la plus courante par rapport au communiqué de presse est « trop publicitaire ». Utilisez-le ton objectif d’un journaliste.

Finalement, souvenez-vous que les médias travaillent avec des échéances. Assurez-vous que votre contact soit bien informé et qu’il puisse parler de façon intelligible au sujet des avantages du recyclage. Fournissez plusieurs moyens pour vous contacter. Un numéro de téléphone cellulaire et une adresse courriel peuvent faire toute la différence entre une couverture médiatique et une opportunité manquée, faute d’échéance trop courte.

Jouez le jeu des médias, avec leurs règles et vous en serez gagnant.

Renforcez vos affaires à l’aide du renforcement positif.

alph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) is one of the most quoted speakers, writers and most importantly, thinkers of all time. He described success this way: “To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know that even one life has lived better because you have lived…this is to have succeeded.”

Quite seriously, I ask you to think about how you can apply this “gardening motivation” to your auto parts recycling and dismantling business.

Emerson’s message provokes me to think about what I might do to make this a better world. We can make the choice to go through our day at work and at home being helpful and constructive, while showing others a positive example, or we can be one of the “unwashed” as I like to call them—a person who contributes largely criticism, negative feedback and attitudes that neither enlighten nor encourage others to do better, to reach higher—in other words, to grow.

Recognition is much like that. Think about how you lead at work and how does your example help or hinder the growth and development of those you lead? Do you see yourself as the disciplinarian who is there to jump on others when something goes wrong? Unfortunately that is largely the way that we are socialized—to notice what’s wrong, what’s missing. It’s not a wonder that some have such a hard time finding their positive side.

How might things be improved if you instead saw your role as a “pilot and navigator” who provides staff members a positive example and who notices and reinforces their constructive actions and helpful behaviours?

Building on staff strengths can add to their self-confidence and self-esteem, while enabling them to improve their weaker areas. And hey, don’t forget

alph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) est un conférencier, écrivain et surtout un des penseurs les plus cités de tous les temps.

Voici sa description du succès : « Apprécier la beauté, voir ce qui a de mieux chez les autres, quitter ce monde en le rendant meilleur, soit grâce à un enfant sain, un petit jardin ou une condition sociale améliorée; Savoir que même un seul être se porte mieux parce que vous avez été... voilà ce que c’est qu’avoir eu du succès ».

Sérieusement, je vous invite à réfléchir à comment vous pouvez appliquer cette « pensé de jardinier » à votre entreprise de pièces d’auto recyclée.

Le message d’Emerson m’a incité à réfléchir à ce que je peux faire pour rendre ce monde meilleur. Nous pouvons choisir de passer nos journées au travail et à la maison de façon utile et constructive, tout en étant un bon exemple pour les autres, ou nous pouvons être parmi ceux que j’appelle les « blasés », ceux qui dispensent principalement des commentaires négatifs, une attitude qui n’enrichit et n’encourage personne à s’améliorer ou à viser plus haut.

L’appréciation c’est semblable, pensez à votre comportement au travail. Comment votre exemple aide t’il ou entrave t’il la croissance et le développement de ceux que vous dirigez. Vous percevez-vous comme gardien de la discipline, tout prêt à faire des reproches lorsque les choses vont mal? C’est malheureusement l’approche qui nous est la plus familière, remarquer les erreurs, soulever les manques. Il n’est pas surprenant que certains ne trouvent pas facilement leur côté positif.

Quelles améliorations verriez-vous si à la place, vous perceviez votre rôle comme celui de « pilote ou de navigateur » qui offre à son personnel un exemple positif et qui remarque et renforce leurs actions constructives et gestes utiles. Bâtir sur les forces de ses employés ajoute à leur confiance

The marvellous thing about looking for and recognizing the positive moments is that positive actions and behaviours that get recognized promptly and effectively tend to be repeated. By making a favourable comment about a good performance or behaviour that you notice, you can be confident that the behaviour will be repeated and that your recognition example will lead others to recognize better—there’s a definite domino effect. Think about the impact that repeated good actions will have on your business—not only in terms of staff morale, work relationships, safety, staff engagement and retention, but also in terms of improved customer service, and of course your bottom line. And when you also recognize good behaviour at home, your family members will benefit in precisely the same ways!

We can’t make the planet better all at once, or all by ourselves, but there is much that we can do to make “our world” better, as well as “our business.” By recognizing others we can bring some light into their lives also. Make the world around you better, recognize well!

Lorsque vous faites des commentaires favorables sur une bonne performance ou une bonne action remarquée, soyez assuré de récidives et que votre exemple encouragera d’autre à souligner le positif à leur tour. Un effet domino! Pensez aux répercussions de ces bons gestes répétés sur votre entreprise, pas seulement sur le moral des employés, les relations de travail, la sécurité, l’engagement personnel, et la rétention, mais aussi le service à la clientèle et bien sûr les finances.

Elaborate regulations govern the issue in Europe and Japan, and major car manufacturers have adopted common databases to facilitate dismantling and recyclability of materials.

In India, however, the problem is yet to attract serious attention, even though the numbers of vehicles has increased rapidly. India has yet to formulate policies, systems and regulations to deal with ELVs. Also, there are no regulations anywhere in the world covering two-wheeled vehicles, which account for 80 percent of vehicles in India.

There is no Western or Japanese experience to draw from.

The equipment for shredding is designed for car bodies and is not suited for two-wheelers.

Current recycling efforts in India involve scrapped automobiles being cut on roadsides at low-tech establishments. The makeshift units are filling a vacuum and are currently rendering useful service, but working conditions are unhygienic, productivity is low and groundwater and surroundings are badly contaminated.

Material recovery percentages are low. Investments are minimal and revenue streams are marginal. It is being operated as a low-grade cottage industry. This system cannot cope with large volumes.

The problem is essentially one of economic viability and need for a champion. Current volumes do not justify the setting up of elaborate facilities. However, with rapidly increasing production of vehicles, before long it will be feasible to set up economically viable units progressively starting from areas of high vehicle concentration. Until such time, India decided to set up a demonstration and trials unit, whereby various methods and technologies can be tried out and a suitable combination arrived at.

The Society of Indian Automotive Manufacturers (SIAM) commissioned a study on the topic. A detailed report was prepared which analyzed the current scen-

En Inde, les pratiques actuelles de recyclage comprennent du découpage sur le bord des routes, dans des ateliers de basse gamme. Ces installations de fortune comblent un vide, par contre les conditions de travail y sont insalubres, la productivité est faible et les eaux souterraines et l’environnement y sont contaminés. Le pourcentage de récupération des matières est faible, les investissements sont minimes et les sources de revenus sont marginales. L’industrie est exploitée de façon artisanale et ne peut faire face à de gros volumes.

Le problème se situe au niveau de la viabilité économique, il faut que quelqu’un y gagnants. La quantité actuelle de véhicules n’est pas suffisante pour justifier la mise sur pied de grandes infrastructures. Cependant, grâce à l’augmentation rapide de la production de véhicules, il sera bientôt possible de mettre en place des ateliers économiquement viables en commençant par des secteurs à forte concentration. En attendant, l’Inde a décidé de créer des sites de démonstration et d’essais pour tester diverses méthodes et technologies avant d’arriver à une combinaison appropriée.

At the Tamil Naud test center, a demo unit has recently been set up to study the problems for dismantling and shredding of automobiles, including two-wheelers. Research is required to determine useful applications for shredder residue as a raw material feedstock or energy source, to minimize demand for landfills. A calibrated system of incentives and tax breaks for the final owners of vehicles to be scrapped and the dismantling units will encourage development. The systems will have to take into account the unique problems and needs of India.

The geographical spread of ELVs in India requires special consideration. It will be neither feasible nor economic to transport the ELVs scrapped in one part of the country for recycling at another location far away. Recycling has to be carried out in clusters close to material processors.

Over 17 million vehicles were added to the fleet last year. By examining the statistics of production and assuming suitable economic life for different classes of vehicles, it is possible to make credible estimates of the number of vehicles due for scrapping in the year 2020.

La recherche permet de déterminer les utilisations possibles des résidus de déchiquetage ou de source d’énergie, ceci afin de minimiser l’utilisation des sites d’enfouissements.

Des programmes d’incitation et d’avantages fiscaux pour les propriétaires de véhicules et des unités de démantèlement pourraient encourager le développement. De telles structures devraient tenir compte de la situation spécifique de l’Inde.

According to estimates, by 2020 annual recoverable materials will be on the order of over 1.5 million tons of steel, 180,000 tons of aluminum, 75,000 tons each of rubber and plastics, and a residue of about 25,000 tons. This will increase at a rate of 10 percent per annum thereafter.

Recycling one kg of aluminum requires only 7 percent of the energy required for production of primary aluminum and saves six kg of bauxite. The amount of mining, depletion of natural resources and increase in greenhouse gases will also be reduced. In a power hungry nation, this represents a huge saving.

Recycling of vehicles, especially large numbers of twowheelers at end-of-life, presents both a challenge and an opportunity for India. All concerned stakeholders should be consulted in reaching practical strategies, systems and regulations for recycling. Universities and laboratories can develop pilot scale technologies for shredding and segregating materials from small two-wheelers and in recovering materials from automotive shredder residues. These can be further developed into full-scale technologies by concerned industries.

This is an issue which calls for immediate attention from all stakeholders, before it burgeons into a major national problem. Automobile recycling can save energy, save raw materials, improve the environment and provide large-scale employment opportunities in India.

On estime qu’en 2020, les matériaux récupérables annuellement seront de l’ordre de plus de 1,5 million de tonnes d’acier, 180 000 tonnes d’aluminium, 75 000 tonnes de caoutchouc et autant pour les plastiques, avec 25 000 tonnes de résidus. L’augmentation se fera à un taux de dix pour cent les années suivantes.

Le recyclage d’un kilogramme d’aluminium nécessite seulement sept pour cent de l’énergie que requiert la production d’aluminium de première fusion tout en épargnant six kilogrammes de bauxite. L’exploitation minière, l’épuisement des ressources naturelles et l’augmentation des gaz à effet de serre auront aussi diminués. Pour une nation avide de pouvoir, cela représente une économie importante.

Le recyclage automobile, et de véhicules à deux roues présente à la fois un défi et une opportunité pour l’Inde. Tous les acteurs concernés devraient se joindre aux discussions visant à trouver des stratégies et réglementations efficaces. Les universités et laboratoires devraient développer des technologies d’essai pour le broyage qui séparant les matériaux provenant de petits deux roues de ceux provenant du broyage automobile. Ces technologies pourront être déployées à grande échelle par les industries concernées.

C’est une situation qui demande une attention immédiate de la part de tous les intervenants, avant que le problème ne prenne une envergure nationale. Le recyclage automobile peut économiser, énergie et matières premières, tout en aidant l’environnement et en offrant des possibilités d’emploi en Inde.

THE LAST WORD LE MOT DE LA FIN

BY/PAR GLORIA MANN

Media Carries the Message

Les médias passent le message

We’re seeing positive coverage of the industry from traditional media.

Les médias traditionnels couvrent l’industrie de manière positive.

T

his has been a banner year for automotive recycling in terms of media and public exposure. Positively slanted articles have appeared in major newspapers like the Toronto Star, Vancouver Sun and other outlets, and auto recyclers have made appearances on major news channels and even in the world of television comedy.

Q

I was on hand for visits that CP24 and CTV paid to North Queen Auto Parts in Toronto for the relaunch of Retire Your Ride. This program, and the coverage it has received, has been instrumental in helping to get the message out to the public.

Then there’s the article by Peter Gorrie that appeared in the Wheels section of the Toronto Star. It’s clear from his article that he supports the work of legitimate auto recyclers as being good for the consumer, good for the repairers and good for the environment.

He even ties the issue to the election that was facing Ontario’s voters at the time: “Will the fate of defunct cars influence your vote in the October 6 Ontario election? What! You haven’t even thought about it? Perhaps you should.”

Don La Joie’s article in the Vancouver Sun, “Canadian study shows where old cars go in the afterlife,” focused primarily on the work being done by Susan SawyerBeaulieu at the University of Windsor in studying what happens to end-of-life vehicles when they’re taken off the road. It was still an overall positive message about the utility and benefits of automotive recycling.

The positive coverage doesn’t stop there. If you’re not familiar with the Rick Mercer Report, it’s a satirical look at the news on CBC. The show recently featured a segment on auto recycling filmed at Carcone’s Auto Recycling, including interviews with Steve Fletcher of ARC and Tony Carcone. The segment was played for laughs, because that’s what the show does, but it was still a positive portrayal of auto recycling. More to the point, the show only even considered a segment on recycling because of the increased profile of the industry.

Taken together, it’s solid evidence that the real message about Canada’s quality auto recyclers is getting out.

At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.

uelle bonne année médiatique pour l’industrie du recyclage automobile! Des articles positifs ont paru dans des journaux importants comme le Toronto Star et le Vancouver Sun, puis des recycleurs automobiles ont été vus à la télévision, tant aux nouvelles que dans des émissions comiques.

J’y étais lorsque CP24 et CTV ont rendu visite à North Queen Auto Parts à Toronto pour le relancement d’Adieu Bazon. Ce programme et la couverture médiatique qu’il a reçue ont été très importants pour la transmission du message au public.

Puis, il y a l’article de Peter Gorrie, paru dans le cahier Wheels du Toronto Star. Son article est clair : il soutient le travail des recycleurs automobiles légitimes, indiquant que c’est bon pour le consommateur, les réparateurs et l’environnement. Il a même fait un lien avec les élections ontariennes qui avaient lieu à l’époque : « Est-ce que l’avenir des voitures hors d’usage aura une influence sur les élections ontariennes le 6 octobre? Quoi? Vous n’y avez pas songé? Peut-être le devriez-vous. » L’article de Don La Joie dans le Vancouver Sun met surtout l’accent sur le travail effectué par Susan SawyerBeaulieu de l’Université de Windsor qui étudie ce qui arrive aux voitures hors d’usage lorsqu’ils ne sont plus sur les routes. Il s’agissait quand même d’un message positif quant à l’utilité et les avantages du recyclage automobile.

La couverture positive ne s’arrête pas là. Si vous ne connaissez pas le Rick Mercer Report, il s’agit d’une satire des nouvelles diffusée sur CBC. Récemment, l’émission a montré un segment sur le recyclage filmé à Carcone’s Auto Recycling qui a compris une entrevue de Steve Fletcher d’ARC et de Tony Carcone. Le segment cherchait à faire rire — c’est le but de l’émission —, mais il s’agissait tout de même d’un portrait positif de l’industrie. Le plus important est que l’émission ait pensé faire un segment sur le recyclage parce que l’industrie est de plus en plus visible.

Toutes ces couvertures sont des preuves solides que le vrai message commence à se rependre. Au final, c’est ça qui est important.

Prevent hazardous materials contained in end-of-life vehicles (ELV) from contaminating our water, land, and air during the vehicle recycling process.

The Canadian Auto Recyclers' Environmental Code (CAREC) is an invaluable resource for all automotive recyclers, outlining best practices for the environmentally sound management of end-of-life vehicles.

To find out why the Code is important to your business, visit www.carec.ca.

CAREC (formerly The National Code of Practice) was developed

by Summerhill Impact and ARC as part of the Government of Canada-funded Retire Your Ride program.

Évitez que les matières dangereuses qu’on retrouve dans les véhicules en fin de vie (VFV) ne viennent contaminer notre eau, nos terres et notre air au moment du recyclage.

Le Code environnemental des recycleurs d’automobiles du Canada (CERAC) constitue une ressource inestimable pour tous les recycleurs d’automobiles, alors qu’on y fait état des pratiques exemplaires permettant d’assurer une saine gestion environnementale des véhicules en fin de vie.

Voyez à quel point ce code est important pour votre entreprise en consultant le site Web à l'adresse www.cerac.ca.

Le CERAC (auparavant le Code national de pratique) fut élaboré par Summerhill Impact et l’ARC dans le cadre du programme Adieu bazou, un programme subventionné par le gouvernement du Canada.
