By choosing the green option of buying recycled auto parts instead of new parts, you are doing your part for a cleaner, healthier Earth. Recycling auto parts uses far less energy than manufacturing new parts, and these energy savings mean there is less demand for oil, gas, or coal. This, in turn, reduces the amount of CO2 released into our atmosphere. It's easy to use recycled parts - in fact, Green-Parts.com has so many recycled parts available that we have the potential to save over 1.8 billion kilograms of CO2 if these parts are purchased instead of new parts.
 This chart represents the potential reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere for the displayed part types, based on the Green-Parts.com parts database. When you choose recycled parts, you decrease the demands you place on the planet. Recycling just one ton of steel conserves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone. When you opt not to buy a new part, you also save our environment from the harmful side effects of mining, such as energy consumption, water pollution, and the release of methane gas. Buying recycled parts from Green-Parts.com or Car-Part.com means that you are doing your part to reduce your carbon footprint and to keep our world healthy and clean.
