The ECAR Center is a "one-stop shop" for all automotive dismantling and recycling operations and provides comprehensive and up-to-date environmental compliance assistance.

Its mission is to help reduce potential impacts on the environment from the automotive recycling sector through better availability of information regarding various forms of best management practices, pollution control and prevention and compliance with environmental regulations.

The Center's hallmark is its state-by-state fact sheet tour on 25 topics important to automotive recyclers. See ECAR Center State Fact Sheet Tour.
