Two things you're likely to find in an automotive workshop:
- A radio blasting hits from the 80's and
- All kinds of waste management challenges
With mechanics working across all kinds of jobs on a daily basis, it's no surprise that fluids, engine oils, hydraulic oils and more are a regular waste by-product. In the same way that tyre, automotive or mechanic's workshops has strict workplace health and safety guidelines related to visible safety hazards, they also require a waste management plan that protects against the risk of improper waste disposal.
What kind of waste is generated in the automotive, tyre and mechanic industries?
There's a whole suite of waste that may be generated in the everyday operations of the automotive, tyre and mechanical industries. These include...
- Metal waste // Generated via scrap metal, used parts and metal shavings
- Plastic waste // This is regularly generated in the production of vehicles
- Hazardous waste // Such as oils, batteries, brake fluids and more
- Rubber waste // Commonly arising from used tyres, scraps and manufacturing waste
- Electronic waste // This can arise from vehicles when they're scrapped
- Glass waste // Commonly occurring from broken windshields and windows
- Paint and solvent waste // Regularly arising from the painting and coating processes
With a wide range of industry regulations impacting the manners in which this waste can be disposed of, every workshop must have a thorough waste management plan in place.

A proactive approach to automotive, tyre and mechanical workshop waste can help to simplify the overall waste management process. There's a number of steps that can be taken in order to make everyday waste management easier for business owners and employees alike.
