On sustainability, support and industry’s steps after Steve Fletcher
By/Article de Gloria Mann
Here we are again, presenting another edition of Canadian Auto Recycler to our loyal audience! I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on the exciting times ahead.
Let’s start with sustainability and our shift toward climate-conscious actions. This involves ongoing education in safe dismantling and handling of EVs, as well as promoting the use of recycled parts to stabilize CO2 levels. Auto recyclers play a crucial role in the transition to zero-emissions vehicles. This shift is not just a trend; it requires our immediate attention. We must also address the potential tariffs from the United States and the impact this could have on our industry. As noted by the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC), it’s vital to support local Canadian parts to strengthen our economy during these challenging times.
On another note, I feel it is necessary to express my gratitude to Steve Fletcher for his contributions to the industry as he moves to the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling. Steve, the team at Canadian Auto Recyclers wishes you the best in this new role.
I’m excited to welcome Mathieu Dagonas as the new executive director of OARA. I look forward to continuing our collaboration to provide valuable content for Canadian auto recyclers.
Additionally, let’s welcome my friend Wally Dingman as the managing director of the ARC. I’m eager to see how his expertise will strengthen our industry.
Thank you, dedicated readers, for picking up another issue of Canadian Auto Recycler. This marks our 19th year, and we’re proud of it. Keep up the great work, stay informed, and let’s continue paving the way toward a sustainable future.
