New Landing Page on eBay UK ONLY FOR CERTIFIED RECYCLERS
I wanted to fill you in on some excellent news for automotive recyclers coming out of the UK.

An amazing, amazing new landing page on eBay ONLY FOR CERTIFIED RECYCLERS - this is HUGE!
Are you going to be left behind?
Auto recyclers have come a long way over the past few years (nothing like pandemic to expedite an innovation and technology movement!). But as many forge ahead with new innovations and adopting new technologies, the gap between those who are innovating and those who are not, is widening.

Let’s Talk Sustainability with eBay
Talking Sustainability with eBay.co.uk
Consider the embodied carbon savings in automotive manufacturing that could be made by extending the lifetime of vehicles that would otherwise be written off by insurance companies. Often, the repair costs tip them over the brink and into the scrapyard – but what if this could be reduced to make them economically repairable? And think of the waste that could be reduced if decent-quality parts from scrapped vehicles were given a second life by insurance repairers to refurbish other vehicles.
Launch of Products and Services for the UK
There is a real need for some of the products we have developed at APS in the UK. I speak with recyclers here every day now and it is crystal clear that there are significant opportunities to improve their use of their Yard Management System and the data within it. I know that our exactstats product, for example, will help you understand your business drivers, enabling you to make much better decisions and fast.
Auto Recyclers Need to be More Digital-Centric in 2022
There is an increasing demand on auto recyclers for improved online experiences such as enhanced search capabilities, online ordering, and other online services. 2022, is the time for auto recyclers to shift to more digital-centric experiences, both customer-facing and internally.

Let’s Talk Recalls
While it is completely understandable that many things have taken a back seat as recyclers struggle to cope with the increased demand during these tumultuous times, the recent death in South Carolina at the hands of a faulty airbag is a grim reminder that we can’t be complacent.

REPAIRERS NEED A BETTER SUPPLY CHAIN!
Last month I wrote a piece outlining how it makes sense for insurers in the UK to incentivise collision repairers to use more Reclaimed Original Parts (ROParts) in the repair process.
Since then I have had a number of emails from repairers, insurers and auto recyclers asking for more information. It certainly stirred some interest in the model I have developed over a number of years and the subsequent calls and discussions I’ve had with insurers and repairers have led me to expanding on a previous article I wrote a couple of years ago.
