How We Recycle End-of-Life Vehicles

  1. STEP 1

    Collection & Dismantling

    Xin Jie · Gao Hong

    Dismantling plants collect vehicles, remove hazardous fluids and take them apart; each type of component goes to a specialized processor to become secondary material.

  2. STEP 2

    Shredding & Sorting

    Gi Ho Chen

    Car shells are shredded at our plant and separated by air classification, magnetic separation, eddy current and particle screening.

  3. STEP 3

    Resource Recovery

    Secondary materials · SRF

    Iron, copper, aluminum, plastics, glass and sand are recovered for reuse; automotive shredder residue (ASR) is made into solid recovered fuel (SRF).

Core Value

Using technology to give resources a second life

Promote the 3R of resources with technology

  1. Dismantling & Shredding
  2. Sorting & Reuse
  3. Solid Recovered Fuel

We use technology to maximize reuse — ASR has a high calorific value and great potential as a resource.

Our Group

A Group Dedicated to Conserving Resources

Mr. Shih Sui-Sheng, founder of Gi Ho Chen Environmental Technology, entered industry after graduating from National Changhua Industrial High School in 1959. In 1965 he founded Yuan Rui Hsing Iron Works, casting metal machine parts, and later expanded through vertical integration into manufacturing machinery and hand tools for export.

Guided by professionalism and integrity, the founder and management team have grown step by step, keeping pace with industry trends and environmental policy. The group expanded into the resource recycling industry, establishing vehicle recycling and shredding plants as well as recycling plants for waste home appliances and IT equipment. In 1992 the founder brought together industry peers to establish the End-of-Life Vehicle Recycling Association of the Republic of China, promoting professional operations in the recycling industry. Today the group also spans logistics and solar power services — a team that puts the circular economy into practice.
