    Greenest Business Of The Year

    The Green Business League recently named its Green Business of the Year among a large field of Green certified businesses. The choice was a surprise to many because the choice was an auto recycling (salvage) company located in Park City, Illinois. The choice of Auto Parts City was a serious decision because this company followed a basic concept promoted by the Green business League.

    “Progress toward Excellence” means that there is no perfect business, but all businesses can improve their practices. Many might choose an environmental-type business, but the effort taken to start with a problem business and take it Green is even more noteworthy.

    Drawing upon European advancements in salvage and recycling concepts, Auto Parts City handles all vehicles in a professional and environmentally-sound manner. Auto Parts City is an glowing example of environmental progress and excellence in the pursuit of a better and Greener operation. Junk cars are likely no one’s idea of a Green program, but that can be a short-sighted attitude.

    Most cars can be resold and repaired, which should be considered a type of recycling in itself. Those cars that cannot be sold are cautiously recycled for parts to the highest level possible. This deliberate organization of this salvage process encourages clientele to find parts and reduces the ultimate wastes produced by old cars. The substitute to recycling is the expansion of rusted cars in junk yards, fluids drained into the nearby land, and hills of tires that could one day catch fire. Cars are a key environmental issue long after they pass their years of good quality performance. Previous to going to parts, every car is exhausted of fluids by a state of the art process.

    Auto Parts City recovers well over 50,000 in gasoline each year. They also conserve more than 20,000 gallons of engine oil that is filtered and later used to fire a CleanBurn(TM) furnace to heat the building. Transmission fluid and antifreeze are recovered, filtered, and rebottled for resale. Tires and batteries are either sold as second-hand parts or recycled in a variety of ways. When a car has been recycled as much as feasible; it is removed, compressed, and shredded on site. The shredded ingredients are separated and used in the manufacture of other types of fresh products. This seems to be the best way to be a resolution the millions of junk cars pulled off the road each year.

    Recovered gasoline is burned in the company fleet that can tolerate less than perfect octane. Even the outside furniture is a combination of old tires and plastic in a new form, and recycle bins are used throughout the facility. Even the courtesy cars are electric, making this complex one of the most environmentally-friendly places in Park City.

    This list of activities is only a few of the highly-effective efforts of Auto Parts City. These different improvements make this company an exceptional example of environmental achievement and the finest instance of a Green business reviewed by the Green Business League. Therefore, on Earth Day, April 22nd, 2010, the Green Business League congratulated Auto Parts City with the Green Business of the Year.

    The Green Business League is very please to award the Platinum level for the Green Business Certification of Auto Parts City, and to name this business as the GBL Green Business of the year. The brothers that own Auto Parts City only regretted that their father, Hy Brosten (The “Original” Recycler) had passed away a few weeks prior to this Green award. This was a proud moment for Jay and Larry Brosten.
