The Road to Better Auto Recycling
In this episode of Sustainably Speaking, host Mia Quinn sits down with Mark Bacchus of Toyota and Derick Corbett of Pull-A-Part — one of the country’s largest automotive recyclers — to explore what really happens when a vehicle reaches the end of its life. They walk through the full lifecycle of a ‘retired’ car, from dismantling to the shredder, why some materials still end up in a landfill and how we can get closer to 100% recyclability. Mark and Derick make the case that profitability is the key to a fully circular auto industry. Plus, the fun stuff: first cars, favorite snacks and auto necessities.
