From Risk to Readiness:

Why EV Battery Preparedness Matters Now

E

lectric vehicle adoption continues to accelerate, and automotive recyclers are on the frontlines of handling these high-voltage, lithium-ion batteries safely and efficiently. EV batteries reaching end-oflife is no longer something that is “coming” – they are already here – entering waste streams and salvage yards, often without standardized guidance on how to responsibly dispose of the batteries. To mitigate risks, planning is crucial in the collecting, handling, packaging, and transport of end-of-life and DDR (damaged, defective, recalled) batteries.

Why it matters

EV batteries present risks that most recyclers were not trained to handle. When handling lithium-ion batteries, recyclers must consider: • Unknown battery condition after an accident or natural event (flooding, wildfires, etc.)

• How the battery pack is stored, including if it was exposed to weather, the type of packaging, or how the battery was transported can impact the battery’s stability.

• Thermal runaway situations and protocols.

These batteries are only increasing in popularity. Enhanced training and partnerships with certified battery recyclers can support employee and facility safety, and ensure automotive recyclers are equipped to handle lithium batteries responsibly.

Key Consideration Areas

When handing electric vehicle batteries, key areas of consideration include the battery’s current state of charge (SOC), damage assessment, and training.

SOC: Knowing an EV battery’s SOC helps ensure safe and efficient handling, as well as potential next steps. Batteries with high charge levels pose greater risks of electric shock and thermal events during dismantling, transport, and storage.

Knowing the SOC helps recyclers take proper precautions, comply with safety regulations, and determine appropriate processing or discharge steps before recycling.

8

Damage Assessment: Assessing damage can be challenging – especially if there are no obvious signs of damage to the outer case. There are also regulatory requirements (local, state, federal) from agencies like the DOT or

EPA that must be considered. The safe handling, packaging, transport, and disposal of lithium-ion batteries is critical to ensuring compliance.

Training: When handling end-of-life or damaged EV batteries, informal learning or guesswork is not sufficient. Through training, recyclers can gain valuable knowledge into: • I dentification & Assessment: Identifying different types of EV batteries and recognizing damage.

•S afe Handling & Storage: Until a battery can be transported to a certified battery recycler, understanding how to isolate the battery and considering storage temperatures, help to reduce risks.

•T ransportation & Compliance: Collaborate with partners who have expertise in regulatory frameworks like hazmat classification and shipping guidelines to bridge knowledge gaps.

•D etermine End-of-life Pathways: Identify value recovery opportunities such as reuse, repurpose, or recycle.

Combined, these practices will enhance employee and operational safety.

Opportunities

Recyclers are critical to the creation of the circular economy.

These batteries are already driving around our roads, and when they reach end-of-life, it will be imperative that recyclers have infrastructure, trainings, and the resources available to dispose of and recycle these materials properly. This will expand revenue channels and partnerships across the battery ecosystem.

Those who invest early will gain both safety and competitive advantages.

What’s next

This is not something for future consideration – it’s already here. Training programs, industry collaboration, and partnering with a certified recycler, like Cirba Solutions, will set you up for success. With 35 years of experience and the largest operational footprint across North America, Cirba Solutions handles all battery chemistries and formats and was the first to process lithium in North America. With its comprehensive service offerings and end-to-end approach related to packaging, reverse logistics, processing, all the way through to the recovery of critical minerals from batteries, puts the company at the forefront of the industry.

Knowledge and education are the key forces that determine whether the electric vehicle transition presents risks or opportunities.

Building the Operating System for Auto Recycling’s Next Era

T

he auto recycling industry has never lacked grit, ingenuity, or operational expertise. What it has lacked is a unified, purpose-built technology platform designed by operators, for operators.

That is the gap Crush Software Solutions set out to fill.

Launched in 2025, Crush represents the evolution of more than a decade of hands-on software development within the self-service auto recycling space. The CRUSH® platform, originally developed through years of direct industry experience, now sits at the center of a broader vision: to modernize how recyclers buy vehicles, manage inventory, price parts, coordinate towing, and ultimately drive profitability.

What makes Crush different is not just the technology; it is the perspective. This is not software built in isolation. It is shaped by real operators who understand that the biggest challenges in this industry are not theoretical. They are daily realities: acquiring the right vehicles, pricing them correctly, turning them efficiently, and extracting maximum value from every unit.

Today, Crush is already delivering on several of these fronts.

The platform integrates real-time dashboards, VIN decoding capabilities, core-part valuation, quote tracking, and visibility into response times and conversion rates. These are the metrics operators need to improve buying decisions, measure performance, and understand where opportunity is being won or lost. CrushBuy adds another layer by giving recyclers a structured way to evaluate, quote, and source vehicles using data instead of instinct alone.

And this is just the beginning.

Looking ahead, Crush is investing in capabilities that can further transform the industry.

AI-driven tools are being explored for call handling, image recognition, and customer interaction. Towing coordination, payment integrations, enhanced YardOps, and expanded enterprise reporting are also part of the roadmap.

The long-term vision is clear: to become the operating system of the modern auto recycler.

That vision is ambitious, but it is grounded in a simple truth. This industry does not need more disconnected tools. It needs alignment between data, decisions, partners, and execution.

Crush is building that alignment.

As the platform continues to evolve, its success will not be measured solely by features or functionality, but by outcomes: faster turn times, better buying decisions, stronger vehicle sourcing, higher part yields, and healthier margins across the board.

In an industry defined by efficiency, those gains are not incremental; they are transformative.

And for the first time, they are within reach.

See listing on page 34.

Equally important is the Crush Partner Network, a growing ecosystem designed to connect recyclers with trusted sourcing, service, data, logistics, payment, and marketplace partners. The goal is simple: help yards capture more opportunity while keeping the recycler at the center of the transaction. Through partnersourced vehicles, national branded leads, direct-torecycler relationships, and future integrations, the network is built to reduce friction, expand access to inventory, and return more value to operators.

The Race for Rare Earths:

The Biggest Deposit Is Already in Your Yard

R

are earth elements (REEs) are at the core of today’s most valuable industries. From electric motors and automotive components to wind turbines, medical devices, e-bikes, hard disk drives, and electronics, these materials are indispensable for the manufacturing sector and the technologies that drive our economy.

Over 90% of REEs are processed in China, and more than 90% of industrial magnets are produced there. The demand for REE is set to grow sharply in the coming decade, increasing pressure on already concentrated supply chains. But here’s the opportunity: the biggest deposit of rare earths is not underground — it is sitting right in your scrapyard!

Recycling Rare Earths from End-of-Life Vehicles Permanent magnets that contain rare earth elements like neodymium and dysprosium are found in a wide range of products, including EV motors and many automotive components.

Currently, less than 1% of rare earth magnets are recycled globally. According to Adamas Intelligence, the U.S. alone will have over 43,000 metric tonnes of end-of-life permanent magnets by 2035 — materials that could be going to waste if not recovered.

This is where Cyclic Materials steps in, offering automotive recyclers an unprecedented opportunity to turn these end-of-life components into greater value.

Unlocking New Revenue Streams for Auto Recyclers Cyclic Materials provides an efficient, scalable solution to recover rare earth magnets from end-of-life products.

For auto recyclers, that means a new source of revenue.

Here is how partnering with Cyclic Materials will benefit you as an automotive recycler: • Competitive prices for cores, no matter the condition • Upfront payment, no waiting for checks to clear • No shipping or handling costs, we cover the logistics

Make the most out of your cores

Cyclic Materials already works with a broad network of recyclers to recover valuable rare earth magnets.

Here is the simple process:

1. End-of-life cores arrive at Cyclic’s facility.

Cyclic buys permanent-magnet containing automotive components (such as EV motors and alternators) from auto recyclers.

2. Magnets are separated.

At Cyclic’s facility in Arizona, magnets are separated from other metals like copper, aluminum, and steel.

3. Recovery of Mixed Rare Earth Oxides (rMREOs).

The magnets are processed into rMREOs 4. Reintroduced into the supply chain.

The recycled MREOs are sold back into the market, where they can be reintroduced into the magnet manufacturing supply chain.

Profitable Long-Term Supply

After the battery recycling boom, the next wave of growth in the recycling industry will come from magnet recycling.

Many automakers and manufacturers are rushing to secure a more reliable supply of rare earths, and recycling magnets provides a more domestic and resilient source of these critical materials.

Why Recyclers Are Key to the Future of Rare Earths Mining rare earths is costly and time-consuming, with environmental and geopolitical risks. Meanwhile, the largest urban mine is already in your yards, where high-value magnets are ready to be recycled.

By partnering with Cyclic Materials, auto recyclers can unlock more value from end-of-life vehicles and automotive components, including: • Drive units and Transmissions • Alternators and Starters • Electric AC Compressors • Electric Power Steering • Wiring Harnesses

Capture the Opportunity

ETE REMAN Expands Availability of Popular 6-Speeds

I

The Bottleneck in the Bay

n today’s automotive repair environment, speed isn’t just a performance metric; it’s a business necessity. For shops handling a steady flow of in-demand 6-speed transmissions, one issue continues to rise above the rest: availability.

Popular units like the 6L80, 6R80, 6F35, 62TE, 6T75E, and other high-volume 6-speeds are essential to keeping bays moving. But too often, these units are difficult to rebuild or source quickly. The result?

Vehicles sitting idle on lifts, technicians waiting on parts, and revenue opportunities slipping through the cracks.

Meeting Demand with Smarter Distribution

This growing pressure has shifted expectations across the industry. It’s no longer enough for remanufacturers to deliver a quality product; they must also deliver it fast, and at scale.

ETE REMAN has taken a deliberate approach to solving the availability problem by significantly increasing production of high-demand 6-speed transmissions and positioning that inventory across warehouses nationwide. The strategy is simple: put the right units closer to the shops that need them most.

The impact of this approach is immediate. When a transmission is already in stock and positioned closer to the point of need, it can ship the same day it’s ordered. For shop owners, that speed translates directly into improved workflow, fewer bottlenecks, and a more predictable repair timeline.

More Than Fast: Built to Perform

However, availability alone isn’t enough. Speed without reliability simply shifts the problem downstream, often in the form of costly comebacks.

ETE recognizes that the real win for shops is not just getting the job done quickly, but getting it done right the first time.

That’s why the focus extends beyond inventory and into the remanufacturing process itself. Known wear points in 6-speed transmissions are addressed proactively. Valve bodies are remanufactured and vacuum-tested to ensure consistent hydraulic control. Torque converters are fully rebuilt and tested for leaks, balance, and lock-up performance. Every unit is dyno tested before it leaves the facility, helping ensure smooth, predictable shifts from day one.

Reducing Comebacks, Protecting Reputation

Comebacks don’t just cost time and money; they impact customer trust.

By delivering consistent, tested transmissions backed by a threeyear, unlimited-mile warranty, ETE helps shops reduce uncertainty and stand behind their work with confidence.

It’s not about eliminating every challenge in the repair process, but about having a partner who helps remove the biggest obstacles.

What This Means for Recyclers

For automotive recyclers and parts suppliers, these developments highlight a broader trend: the increasing importance of aligning inventory strategy with real-world repair demands. The demand for these popular reman transmissions is only going to increase as vehicles remain on the road longer, and so is the expectation for fast, reliable access to them.

Ultimately, the shops that succeed will be those that can keep vehicles moving efficiently. And for shop owners working to stay ahead, having the right reman partner in their corner can make all the difference.

The Future of Auto Recycling:

GENSCO’s Dual Focus on Traditional and EV Innovation

A

s the automotive landscape undergoes a radical shift toward electrification, recycling facilities must adapt to handle both legacy internal combustion engines and the complex high-voltage systems of the future. Gensco along with its manufacturing partner Iris-Mec, a pioneer in End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) technology, have recently expanded their lineup to bridge this gap, offering high-efficiency solutions for traditional depollution alongside specialized equipment for the processing and handling of the Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries.

Mastering Traditional Depollution and Disassembly

For decades, Iris-Mec has set the standard for fluid recovery. Their latest IBQ-4T and ISQ Compact systems represent the pinnacle of traditional depollution. These units allow operators to simultaneously extract gasoline, diesel, engine oil, and coolants at rates of up to 13.5 gallons per minute.

The IBQ-4T, in particular, features an integrated vehicle rack and an automated fuel-tank punch drill, drastically reducing time and cross-contamination risks. The units can be supplied with optional powered arms for ease of use.

For disassembly, the PRT range of tilting rigs provides 90-degree vehicle rotation, allowing staff to access the undercarriage with total ergonomic safety.

Complementary tools like the Wheel Press SR (rim crusher) and specialized glass cutters ensure that every valuable component from aluminum rims to windshields is recovered quickly and cleanly.

Leading the EV Revolution

The E-BOX: To mitigate the risk of thermal runaway, we have the E-BOX, a fire-resistant container with alarms and temp control for the safe storage and transport of removed battery packs.

Safety & Discharging: Beyond hardware, Iris-Mec provides specialized EV Protection Kits featuring 1000V insulated tools and PPE. Their new battery discharge stations also allow facilities to render high-voltage packs inert before final shredding or repurposing.

By combining high-speed traditional depollution with cutting-edge EV safety tools, Gensco Equipment along with Iris-Mec are helping recyclers future-proof their operations. Whether processing a 20-yearold diesel truck or the latest high-performance EV, these innovations ensure that the “green” promise of vehicle recycling is upheld through every stage of the process.

See listing on page 35.

The most significant addition to the range and catalog is the EV Battery handling equipment, designed specifically for the unique hazards of lithium-ion batteries.

The CSB Trolley: This auxiliary lifting platform is a gamechanger for EV battery removal. Since EV batteries are integrated into the chassis, they must be lowered from beneath. The CSB trolley supports the immense weight (often over 500kg) while maintaining perfect alignment during disconnection, preventing accidental damage or electrical grounding.

Switch Happens!

Make the smart switch to YardSmart!

G

rowing up as the third-generation owner of the auto recycling business is a source of pride for Troy Webber, CEO of Chesterfield Auto Parts and YardSmart.

With nearly 80 years of know-how to learn from, he has figured out what works in this industry.

His love of all things automobile related has fueled his success as owner of Chesterfield Auto Parts and now with his new venture, CEO of YardSmart, a cloudbased comprehensive auto yard parts management system designed for self service operations, based in Richmond, Virginia.

“I have always loved cars and anything with an engine. When I was a kid I would spend all summer going to work with my Dad and playing around in the junkyard. I’d spend all day getting an old junk car running just to figure it out.”

YardSmart is a SaaS product with customizable point of sale features for credit, cash and specific products. It brings in multiple revenue streams from your existing inventory from extended warranties, labor services and aftermarket parts sales. Integrated pricing from several core buyers, provides an operator the ability to track scrap and core sales and process the sale of cars from a resale lot. It features integrated Hollander interchange and photos of all your inventory in the field for customers to view.

With three locations and 100 employees, Webber’s understanding of and need for a new technology and cloud-based software system, verged on becoming a crisis. The reason it was imperative to create a new way of managing and connecting the auto recycling business to the world, is because there is no effective software available to do what his self-service auto recycling operation required. Basically, Chesterfield operates differently than other auto recyclers,

20

because it is a retail market. Individuals search parts and go to them for their auto parts. According to Webber, “My light bulb moment occurred when we understood that Microsoft would no longer support the latest version of Windows that our old software utilized.”

YardSmart employs a team of product managers, programmers, developers and engineers who regularly communicate with users about the features or any improvement they would like to see. A support team is available to assist with any issues or problems installing or utilizing the product. We have even created a new pricing feature that can show you the scrap value of the cars you are buying because the users wanted it!

With over twenty yards in the YardSmart network and an average of two new clients making the switch every month, YardSmart is quickly becoming the Yard Management System of the future.

Being cloud based means that YardSmart can quickly and easily integrate with other technologies in the business.

We have partnered companies like with Texn Rewards for a world class CRM and marketing team, and can integrate with your website or help you create your own.

As a hands-on yard owner, Webber was able to identify the need, strategize with his team for solutions and pivot to make the changes a reality, and that is what he does best. “We have been able to survive because we have been willing to adapt.

The only constant in the auto industry is change.

Manufacturers make it a point to change and improve with every year and we have to be able to do the same if we want to be a part of this industry.”

For any operation looking to grab maximum revenue while driving down maintenance delays, SAS Forks remains the industry’s gold standard for attachments that are truly engineered tough.

By transitioning from yard operators to elite heavyduty attachment manufacturers, SAS Forks retained a critical edge: they know exactly what their customers face every single day.

Step into any productive modern scrap yard or recycling facility, and you will see their signature, highly patented innovations at work. Products like the SAS Extreme Auto Processor and the SAS Scorpion Engine Puller have fundamentally shifted how quickly vehicles can be dismantled and stripped for high-value materials.

Meanwhile, their signature Long Forks completely solved a costly, industry-wide headache. Traditionally, lifting vehicles from the side ruined doors and crushed inventory. SAS Forks’ 15-to-18-foot frontloading designs protect body panels and components, preserving thousands of dollars in resale revenue per day for yard operators.

The secret to this relentless durability lies in the company’s rigorous engineering and manufacturing facility based in Luxemburg, Wisconsin. Rather than relying on generic, one-size-fits-all manufacturing, SAS Forks employs a dedicated team of engineers 22

Making Christian Connections in the Automotive Recycling Industry

or many years, I worked in the automotive recycling industry as a business owner. Most people knew me for my products and services, but few realized I was also a local pastor. I kept those roles separate. In business, I was Mike the recycler; at home, I was Pastor Mike. Over time, I discovered there were other believers in the industry, but like me, most kept a low profile. Unless faith came up in conversation, you’d never know.

It felt like we were part of a “secret service” of Christians.

That’s when I realized how valuable it would be to create a way for believers in our industry to connect, encourage, and support one another.

The Birth of CARVA

After retiring, I started the Christian Auto Recyclers & Vendors Association (CARVA), a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Some questioned it at first, asking, “Why do we need a religious group in this industry?” My answer: “Why not?” Christians in other fields gather for fellowship – the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, Christian Educators

2026 AUTO RECYCLING BUYER’S GUIDE

Association, and many others. It made sense for us, too.

Honestly, I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner.

What CARVA Does

CARVA’s purpose is simple: connect believers in the automotive recycling industry for fellowship and encouragement.

We help each other represent Jesus well in both business and life. We provide gospel tracts and tools like our “People Can Be Recycled Too!” booklets and host early morning prayer meetings at trade shows and recycling events.

Join Us

If you’re a believer in this industry, we’d love to connect.

Visit www.carva.group, fill out the contact form, and stay in the loop on upcoming events. And if you’re at a trade show, stop by and say hello!

Helping Auto Recyclers Boost Battery Value and Cut Core Waste

ulseTech Products Corporation delivers advanced battery recovery, testing, and maintenance solutions engineered to help auto recyclers maximize battery resale value and reduce core waste.

The BT-2 Battery Recovery Charger restores sulfated 12V lead-acid batteries that would otherwise be scrapped. Using patented Pulse Technology, it removes sulfate buildup, improves capacity, and extends battery life up to 3X, converting low-value cores into revenue-generating inventory.

This allows recyclers to recover more batteries, increase resale volume, and improve margin per unit while lowering disposal losses.

The 870PT Digital Battery Tester & Analyzer provides fast, accurate diagnostics on battery health and CCA performance in seconds. Recyclers can confidently test, grade, and price used batteries, creating a standardized test-and-recover process when paired with the BT-2. The result is improved

28

quality control, reduced guesswork, and more consistent resale outcomes.

For yard inventory and stored vehicles without reliable AC access, SolarPulse® solar chargers maintain battery health during idle periods. By preventing sulfation before it starts, SolarPulse preserves battery condition, protects resale value, and keeps inventory market-ready.

Together, the BT-2, 870PT, and SolarPulse create a comprehensive battery management strategy that increases recoverable battery volume, strengthens margins, reduces scrap, and enhances overall yard profitability.

Turn Key Fobs Into Profit

E

very vehicle that enters your yard has more value than what’s immediately visible—and key fobs are one of the most overlooked opportunities.

At We Buy Key Fobs, we help automotive recyclers and salvage yards turn unused key fobs into a consistent, repeatable revenue stream. Instead of throwing them away or letting them pile up, recyclers are building simple processes to collect and monetize them.

There’s strong demand for used OEM key fobs. We refurbish, test, and resell them, creating a second life for a product that would otherwise go to waste.

The most successful recyclers treat key fobs like any other recoverable part by building a simple habit into their workflow.

Whether it’s pulling them during intake or setting up a collection bin, small changes can quickly add up to meaningful additional income.

In an industry where margins matter, recovering overlooked value can make a real difference.

See listing on page 38.

What makes this especially valuable for recyclers is how easy the process is. There’s no need to sort, identify, or test the key fobs — our team handles all of that. Most shipments result in approximately 60% of key fobs being purchased, depending on condition and demand. After processing, we provide a detailed report and fast payment.
