Car Consumption

USA â–  The auto junkyard of Ayer, Massachusetts, was originally used to retrieve car parts. But with the development of recycling methods, dismantling and storing vehicles was abandoned and replaced by merely the retrieval of metals (steel, aluminum, copper, etc.). Such vehicule ramains deposits will not be put to an end anytime soon: in 2008 car manufacturers have globaly produced more than 70 million vehicles. During that year, for 1000 individuals, there were 593 cars in the Europenian Union, 594 in Japan and 824 in the United States.
