What is Desguazon Circular?
Desguazon Circular is an initiative that promotes the reuse of automotive parts from professional salvage yards, fostering a circular economy model applied to the automotive sector.
Reusing spare parts in good condition makes it possible to use resources that already exist, reduce waste and avoid unnecessary industrial processes associated with the manufacture of new parts.
Reusing automotive parts instead of manufacturing new ones
Reusing parts makes it possible to:
- Avoid manufacturing new components when a valid alternative already exists
- Reduce the consumption of raw materials
- Reduce waste generated by unnecessary replacements
- Optimise resources within a more efficient model
Key idea
Reusing is not giving up quality.
It is a smarter way to repair a vehicle, maintaining reliability and committing to a more efficient consumption model.
Reused parts from professional salvage yards
At Desguazon you will find parts such as used engines, used gearboxes, scrap turbos, car control units and diesel injectors, sourced from professional scrap yards, removed from real vehicles and cataloged with relevant technical information according to the data provided by the scrap yard.
Transparency is key to the reuse of spare parts: clear information, details about their condition and purchase terms that reduce uncertainty. An end-of-life vehicle (ELV) can provide recoverable components as part of a professional treatment process. At an authorised treatment facility (ATF), parts that are still suitable for reuse can be identified and other materials managed appropriately. This approach links end-of-life vehicle treatment with the circular economy.
Positive environmental impact of reuse
Reusing a suitable part extends its service life without turning it into raw material and may reduce the need to manufacture a new replacement. Recycling is different: materials from components that cannot be reused as parts are processed through a separate route. Both approaches complement each other in end-of-life vehicle management. A used part prepared for reuse should therefore not automatically be described as a “recycled part”.
Desguazon Circular takes a realistic approach: making use of suitable components can extend their service life and help reduce waste and demand for new resources. This form of reuse may support a more sustainable automotive sector, although its actual benefits depend on the condition of the part and the process followed. We therefore describe its potential benefits without absolute environmental claims or unsupported figures.
Circular economy with warranty and confidence
Reusing parts is compatible with buying with peace of mind:
- Warranty included on parts
- Secure shipping and adequate packaging
- Product and condition information as available
- Customer support to resolve queries
What we aim for
For the user to understand simply why reusing is an efficient decision, and to have the same certainties they expect when buying a spare part: clarity, warranty and a reliable purchase process.

Commonly reused automotive parts
Reusing spare parts makes it possible to keep suitable used vehicle parts in service, reducing waste and extending the useful life of vehicles. At Desguazon, you can find reused spare parts and recovered components sourced from professional vehicle dismantlers; some may be original parts, provided their condition and identification make them suitable for reuse.
Among the most in-demand items within the circular economy are:
Once checked and, where necessary, reconditioned, these recovered components can be an alternative to new spare parts. Reusing them keeps suitable parts in service and makes better use of resources already available, supporting the circular economy when the condition of each component allows it.

Frequently asked questions about circular economy and automotive spare parts
What is the circular economy in the automotive sector?
The circular economy in the automotive sector aims to keep vehicles, components and materials in use for longer. For spare parts, it prioritises reusing suitable parts and, when they can no longer be used as such, treating and recycling their materials.
What are the advantages of using scrapyard parts?
Using salvage parts can help make use of original components in good condition, reduce waste and lessen the need to manufacture certain new spare parts. It may also save money, provided the selected part is suitable for reuse.
Is it safe to buy scrapyard parts online?
Buying salvage parts online can be safe when clear information is provided about the part, its condition and warranty terms. Before purchasing, references and vehicle compatibility should be checked to reduce possible identification errors.
What parts can be reused in a car?
Many vehicle components can be reused if they are in good condition and correctly identified. Engines, gearboxes, turbos, control units and injectors are some examples. Their suitability depends on the condition of the part and whether it is appropriate for the vehicle.
How do scrapyards contribute to sustainability?
Authorised scrapyards operating as authorised treatment facilities (ATFs) handle end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and recover components suitable for reuse as spare parts. Materials that cannot be used as parts undergo other treatment and recycling processes where appropriate.
What is the difference between recycling and reusing car parts?
Reuse means using a part again while it remains suitable as a spare part. Recycling involves processing materials when they can no longer be used as parts. Both belong to the circular economy, but a reused part is not automatically a recycled part.
