The Environmental Problem: Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) or Car Fluff
Automotive Shredder Residue
- End of life vehicles have to be processed via an Authorised Treatment Facility
- Recycling processes are sophisticated delivering a large volume of recycled product
- However, ASR (car fluff) is usually mixed plastic & rubber material that cannot be recycled
- These materials traditionally go to landfills incurring a substantial cost
- The Thermodynamic Cracking technology can help increase the % recycling rate in the end of life vehicle industry substantially, by treating the car fluff normally landfilled, and creating diesel and gas for sale or energy recovery
An Environmentally Friendly Solution to ASR Waste > Thermodynamic Cracking:
- No Direct Emissions
- Minimal Operational Noise
- Completely Clean Process
- Reduced Planning Permission Requirements
- Output Fuels Can Be Used For Energy or Sold
- No Requirement to Stockpile Large Volumes of Feedstock’s
- Reduces Carbon Footprint Substantially
Economically Viable
- No Fees to Landfill
- Sale of Energy or Fuels
- Using a Totally Non Recyclable Waste
End of Life Vehicles
