Recycling Programs for
Automotive Manufacturers

Every large‑scale auto plant generates mountains of by‑products—more than 2 million tons of scrap metal, plastics, solvents, and packaging each year in the U.S. alone ¹. Too often that material ends up in landfills or low‑value revenue streams, costing OEMs money and missing an opportunity to bolster Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores.

Recycling Revenue Partners (RRP) helps automakers address those inefficiencies and turn them into benefits. Our programs convert waste into revenue, shrink environmental footprints, and deliver the transparent reporting procurement teams demand.

Why Manufacturers Trust RRP

  • Revenue, not just diversion – Products like high‑volume ferrous & non‑ferrous metals, resins, and cardboard have real monetary value. We market them to maximize commodity pricing.

  • Zero‑landfill roadmaps – Customized material‑flow audits identify every diversion opportunity. Whatever can be sold should not be discarded.

  • Detailed ESG & financial reporting – Monthly dashboards track tonnage, rebates, and CO₂‑equivalent reductions.

  • On‑site program management – RRP staff handle container placement, employee training, and vendor coordination so your line never slows.

 

How Our Waste‑Recycling Programs Work

  1. Comprehensive Material Audit
    Map every waste stream—stamping scrap, purge, dunnage, pallets, coolant—by volume, contamination, and market value.

  2. Closed‑Loop Logistics
    Right‑size containers at each cell, barcode every tote, and schedule just‑in‑time pickups to keep floors clear and reduce handling costs.

  3. Commodity‑Market Intelligence
    Constantly shop metals exchanges and resin buyers to lock in top rebates and hedge against volatility.

  4. Regulatory & Environmental Compliance
    Documented chain of custody plus downstream vendor audits meet CPSC, EPA, ISO 14001, and corporate sustainability requirements.

  5. Profit & Planet Reporting
    Show finance the dollars earned while quantifying landfill avoidance, energy savings, and GHG reduction in metrics your ESG team can publish.

​

A well‑built program doesn’t just reduce waste—it makes money, strengthens supplier scores, and proves environmental stewardship to investors and consumers alike.
