The primary source of plastic waste in auto repair shops stems from vehicle bodywork, such as bumpers, body panels, and interior modifications. The recyclability of this waste varies with the type of plastic. We aim to prevent this waste from reaching landfills, where it could contribute to pollution through the leaching of plastic chemicals into the soil, air, and water.

Additionally, garages produce a lesser amount of plastic waste from food packaging and the wrapping of parts and other items. While small quantities can be placed in dry mixed recycling containers, there are also specialised plastic recycling options available.
