This paper addresses the problem of atmospheric pollution due to the scrapping of motor vehicles. Most of the materials used in the automotive industry are non-renewable, so the decommissioning of cars is a global problem. The environmental impact of this type of pollution is irreversible. In Romania, this problem is amplified by the purchase of second-hand cars that have a low life expectancy and are much earlier in the situation of being scrapped. Recovery of scrapped materials must be done selectively because a number of such products are top polluters (lead, engine oil, antifreeze, old air conditioning freon). If the recycling rate was around 70% between 1980 and 1990, starting in 2015, the reuse and recycling percentage increased to about 85%. Government programs support dismantling of vehicles, but the issue of component recycling does not provide a vision for the circular economy of these materials. Transforming the need for scrapping cars to save money, metal can be reused (about 75%), tires can be recovered (about 3%), batteries can be reused (about 1%) or can be reused and recovered (about 3%).
