scrappage
Scrapping old cars
Scrappage is the process of discarding old vehicles or machinery, typically as part of an organized program offering incentives to replace them with newer, more efficient models.
A scrappage scheme or scrappage program encourages owners to trade in aging cars for credit toward new purchases: The government's scrappage program boosted auto sales while reducing emissions.
