April 2008 - Environment: AD Expert garages and the Chimirec Group, a benchmark partnership working for the planet
By taking part in the environmental procedure that has been implemented for several years now by the Autodistribution Group, French and European leader in the independent distribution of car and HGV parts, the AD Expert network's garages are now committing themselves to efficient and comprehensive waste management, in partnership with Chimirec, an independent group specialising in the collection, sorting and categorising for recycling of industrial waste.
Following on from the especially positive report from the Zoom Pack operation headed by Chimirec with almost 70% of the AD network's body repairers, AD Expert garages have in turn been considering the issues relating to selective sorting, storage and removal and recovery of waste. Trained to deal with new technological challenges and to bring an optimised service to car owners, these distinguished repairers have also made the commitment to include waste management in their requirements. The operation led by Chimirec has several items on the agenda: an audit of the installation, report on the waste activities and a visit to the workshops to put into place specifically adapted devices and methods. In parallel to this, the partnership concluded with AutoEco, European platform for automotive recycling, ensures not only the traceability and evaluation of the waste, but also makes it possible to have an overall view of the collection figures, per product and per collector. This new initiative strengthens the actions already taken by the Autodistribution Group, with this step demonstrating its desire to increase awareness and to involve each of its members in a common environmental policy.
