Recycling for a Greener Tomorrow at Fastlane Autocare: From production to disposal, we take environmental responsibility seriously at Fastlane Autocare. We work with reputable waste management companies to dispose of waste products responsibly. But we don't stop there. Worn parts are viewed as opportunities for recycling. Did you know that the dirty oil from your engine can be reprocessed into marine oil? We give as much as possible to our trusted recycling partner to enhance a greener future.

Tyre recycling initiative: With over five million tyres replaced annually, our tyre recycling partner is leading the charge in sustainable tyre recycling. Their state-of-the-art plant allows for 100% recycling of tyres, transforming them into versatile quality products with minimal environmental impact.

Increasing recycling levels: To further our recycling efforts, we're trialling tyre compressors at some of our centres to kickstart the recycling process onsite and minimise transport. Your contribution towards tyre recycling costs is itemised in your bill as 'environmental tyre disposal.'

Ethical tyre sourcing: At Fastlane Autocare, we exclusively fit tyres that meet our safety standards and are ethically and responsibly sourced. Our carefully selected brands demonstrate commitment to sustainability through product quality, fuel efficiency, and supply chain improvements.

Top tips for reducing your carbon footprint: As a driver, you can also play a role in reducing carbon emissions. Properly inflated tyres, removing unnecessary weight from your vehicle, and driving efficiently are just a few ways to make a difference. By making small changes in your driving habits, you can contribute to a cleaner and greener environment.

• Properly inflated tyres can save you up to 3% on your fuel bill.

• Remove any unnecessary items or roof racks from your car before travelling to help reduce weight.

• Think ahead when driving and where possible ease off the accelerator to gently roll to a complete stop.

• Being stuck in traffic wastes fuel and unnecessarily creates CO2. Try using traffic websites and apps to help avoid traffic.
  

• Turn your engine off when you’ve stopped for a minute or longer to help save fuel.

• Speeding and unnecessary acceleration can waste fuel, money and increase your carbon footprint.

• When driving at low speeds opening the windows is more efficient but at higher speeds closing the windows and using air conditioning can save you more.
