GPA : automotive used part producer

GPA's job is to collect ELVs (end-of-life vehicles) and give a second life to the parts and materials that make them up, while recycling their polluting products in the best environmental conditions.

GPA is part of the automotive industry. It collects and decontaminates more than 20,000 vehicles per year, the vehicles collected in this way can be resold as is or dismantled and resold in the form of re-used material and parts. GPA is one of the leaders in used parts guaranteed for 2 years, its vocation is to offer quality re-used parts while being in line with the issues of sustainable development and in phase with the significant modification of the behavior of purchase in the face of products that are both economical and ecological.

Far from the image of the traditional dark and dusty car junkyard, GPA has transformed itself in a few years into a real player in the recycling of mobility for cars, scooters and motorcycles as well as heavy goods vehicles. The automotive recycling sector can be proud of a recovery and recycling rate of over 85%, even going up to 99,7% for GPA on a cumulative performance in 2020. At the heart of this transformation, digital plays a major role in the marketing of second-hand auto parts with less ecological impact than a new spare part. We are no longer talking about car scrapyards but rather an ELV center for end-of-life vehicles with strict supervision and regulations.

Thus, each VHU center must have ministerial VHU approval and prefectural registration order 2712-1 of the nomenclature of installations classified for the protection of the environment (ICPE). Each year, approved ELV centers are subject to regulatory control aimed at verifying that they comply with the specifications of the sector. It is therefore important to know the composition of an end-of-life vehicle in order to understand the challenge of automobile recycling for society. There we find as follows:

• Metals
• Plastics
• Polluting fluids
• Non-recyclable organic materials
