Thousands of
vehicle owners, body shop technicians, and insurance claims people are
making the choice to recycle these plastic bumpers rather than just
replacing them. Choosing a recycled bumper…
Keystone Automotive Industries, a pioneer in the bumper recycling industry since 1947, has developed the systems, the trained personnel, and the techniques to provide recycled plastic bumpers that meet the quality standards of all our customers. Until recently, many of the specialized resins, welding rods and adhesives used in the recycling process were not available, making early attempts at repairing plastic bumpers unsuccessful. Unsatisfactory quality forced collision repair shops and insurance adjusters to believe their only choice was a NEW OE replacement. But today, there is a good reason to choose recycling over NEW replacement. Keystone's long experience in the recycling industry has provided us with the knowledge and talent necessary to produce premium quality recycled bumpers.

The recycling of
any product faces the test of economic feasibility. With plastic
bumper recycling, the economic benefits are as impressive as the
environmental benefits.
Auto policy holders through their premiums pay, an estimated $400 million dollars each year for plastic bumper replacements. If these damaged bumpers were recycled instead of replaced, the cost savings would be approximately $140 million, and our landfills would have 10 million less pounds of plastic waste to deal with each year.
