HOW OLD CARS ARE TRANSFORMED INTO NEW RAW MATERIALS
Each year, over 12 million cars in the U.S. are scrapped—not to rot, but to fuel a $25 billion global recycling industry, turning end-of-life vehicles into one of the world’s biggest sources of recycled steel, rubber and other products.
One Seamless Yard Operator Experience
With more than two decades of experience in the auto recycling industry, Dimitri Gerontis identified a gap in the market for software to manage a self-service auto recycling yard. Crush 2.0 will help a single yard operator compete with national chains. Whether one-yard or twenty, Crush gives your business the data advantage.
